Celtic Cup prep visualized
Celtic FC shared behind‑the‑scenes images as they prepare for the Scottish Cup, a social post showing training and match‑day setup ahead of their upcoming fixtures (x.com). The club’s post attracted local fan engagement and match‑preview commentary today (x.com).
Celtic used a club social post to show training-ground work and match-day setup before Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final against St Mirren at Hampden Park. (x.com) (celticfc.com) The official fixtures list shows Celtic’s next match is St Mirren on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 2 p.m. at Hampden, with a Premiership game against Falkirk following on Saturday, April 25. (celticfc.com) Celtic TV is carrying the semi-final outside the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the club posted a Callum McGregor interview on April 15 in the build-up to the tie. (celticfc.tv) The semi-final was set on March 8 after Celtic beat Rangers 4-2 in a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals, and the Scottish Football Association paired Celtic with St Mirren while Falkirk drew Dunfermline Athletic. (celticfc.com) (scottishfa.co.uk) This is another Hampden meeting between the clubs this season. Celtic beat St Mirren 1-0 in the league on April 11, six days before the semi-final. (espn.co.uk) (celticfc.com) The Scottish Football Association set the 2025-26 men’s Scottish Cup final for Saturday, May 23, 2026, so the winner on Sunday moves to within one match of the trophy. (scottishfa.co.uk) Celtic’s website lists 42 Scottish Cup wins in the club honours section, the most in the competition’s history. The current campaign comes a year after Celtic lost the 2025 final, with Aberdeen entering 2025-26 as defending champions. (celticfc.com) (en.wikipedia.org) The images land as Celtic head into the final stretch of the season with league fixtures on May 3, May 10, May 13 and May 16 already on the calendar. The post itself worked as a preview package: players on the grass, staff at work, and Hampden next. (celticfc.com) (x.com)
