The 2015 Scottish League Cup Final was the 69th final of the Scottish League Cup. The final took place on 15 March 2015 at Hampden Park, Glasgow. The clubs contesting the final were Dundee United and Celtic.
Celtic won the match 2–0 for their 15th League Cup title, with goals in either half from Kris Commons and substitute James Forrest. Dundee United captain Seán Dillon was sent off, and Forrest later had a penalty saved by Radosław Cierzniak after being fouled by Paul Dixon.
Celtic played their 30th Scottish League Cup Final, with a previous record of 14 victories (second to Rangers' 27) and 15 defeats. Their last final was in 2012, a 0–1 defeat to Kilmarnock, and their last victory was in 2009 when they beat Rangers 2–0 after extra time.
It was Dundee United's seventh final, and they had a record of two victories and four defeats. Their last appearance was in 2008, when they lost to Rangers in a penalty shootout after a 2–2 draw. Dundee United's two previous victories came consecutively in 1979 and 1980, both 3–0 wins against Aberdeen and city rivals Dundee F.C. respectively.
The only previous Scottish League Cup Final between the two clubs was in 1997, which Celtic won 3–0 for their 10th title.
