Celtic, the current Scottish Cup holders, triumphed over Rangers 1-0 in the Scottish Cup Final 2024 on May 25.

Forward Adam Idah, on loan from Norwich, scored the decisive goal late in the match, securing a league and cup double for Brendan Rodgers and his team for the 2023/24 season.

The Scottish Cup competition itself is the second-longest-running football tournament in the world, second only behind England's FA Cup. 

And while the Scottish Cup is the second oldest tournament in world football, the Scottish Cup trophy itself is the oldest. Unlike the FA Cup trophy, which has been replaced more than once since its inception in November 1871, the silverware Scottish teams play for today is the same one those competed for in 1874.
