The Glasgow giants have been in sensational form domestically this season.

They have taken 70 points from a possible 72 available in the league, and have already secured their first silverware of the season, after beating Aberdeen in the final of the BetFred Cup.

The Celtic boss spoke to reporters, and elaborated on the importance of the cup competition for his club, sharing the message he told his side before they played their quarter-final match, as quoted by Sky Sports:

“I said to the players before the game that the Scottish Cup is synonymous with Celtic – 36 times the club has won the trophy. My memories as a child growing up, a lot of it was based around the Scottish Cup. We want to make it 37.”
