Reigning Scottish Cup holders Celtic continue their quest for a third consecutive title as they prepare to face St. Johnstone in the upcoming semi-final. Having lifted the trophy for the 42nd time after defeating Rangers 1-0 in last season's final, Celtic have a formidable record in this competition. (More Football News)
However, they face a St Johnstone side buoyed by recent success. While this is Saints' first semi-final appearance since their triumphant 2021 campaign, where they defeated St Mirren en route to lifting the trophy, they possess recent form against the Glasgow giants. Just two weeks ago, St Johnstone secured a significant 1-0 victory over Celtic in a league encounter, with Daniels Balodis netting the winner.
Historically, this Scottish Cup fixture has heavily favoured Celtic, who have won seven of the eight previous meetings. St Johnstone's sole victory came nearly ninety years ago, back in February 1936.
More recently, Celtic emerged victorious in the last cup clash between the sides – a 1-0 quarter-final win in 2020 secured by Ryan Christie – and also won the only prior Scottish Cup semi-final meeting 2-1 in 2007. Celtic also edged their last semi-final encounter in any competition, a 1-0 League Cup win in November 2021, thanks to James Forrest.
Despite their status as league leaders and cup holders, Celtic's recent form has been mixed, with two wins and two losses in their last four matches, including that defeat to St Johnstone. St Johnstone, meanwhile, will be looking to build on that morale-boosting win, their only victory in their last four outings, as they aim to replicate their 2021 cup heroics and overcome their historical underdog status in this specific cup tie.
