CELTIC v ABERDEEN / WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP SEMI-FINAL C eltic’s attempt to triumph in the delayed 2019/20 William Hill Scottish Cup has the promise of yet more history-making for the Parkhead club. Neil Lennon’s men will become the first in the 147-year existence of the competition to lift the trophy on four successive occasions should they prevail. No fewer than five sides have recorded hat-tricks of victories since the cup was formed in 1873; Queen’s Park (1874-1876 and 1880-1882), Vale of Leven (1877-1879), Rangers (1934-1936, 1948-1950 and 1962-1964), Aberdeen (1982-1984) and Celtic (2017-2019). The epic achievements that Scott Brown and his fellow players have racked up in the past four years suggest the enormity of what they can accomplish won’t be in the slightest bit intimidating for them. They are currently on an unprecedented 34-game winning streak in the League Cup and Scottish Cup - the last time they were beaten in a one-off domestic tie was in the penalty shoot-out defeat to their Glasgow rivals Rangers in the semi-final of the latter way back in 2016. There is another unique quadrilateral that lies tantalisingly within Celtic’s grasp as well; they will complete their fourth straight domestic treble if they are successful. Lennon is confident that, despite the unusual circumstances that last season’s Scottish Cup will be concluded in the following campaign with the focus of so many being on 10-In-A- 6 HAMPDEN PARK / SUNDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 2020
