The 2017 Scottish Cup Final was the 132nd final of the Scottish Cup and the final of the 2016–17 Scottish Cup, the most prestigious knockout football competition in Scotland. The match took place at Hampden Park on 27 May 2017 and was contested by Celtic and Aberdeen.
The fixture was a repeat of the finals in 1937, 1954 and 1967 won by Celtic, and in 1970, 1984 and 1990 won by Aberdeen.
Celtic won the game 2-1 to complete a domestic treble without losing a game; they went 47 domestic matches unbeaten during the season.
Jonny Hayes opened the scoring for Aberdeen in the 9th minute with a low left foot volley from seven yards out after a corner from the right by Niall McGinn. Two minutes later Stuart Armstrong made it 1-1 with a left foot shot to the right corner from just outside the penalty area. In the 92nd minute, Tom Rogic got the winning goal when he received the ball 40 yards out and made his way into the right side of the penalty area before clipping the ball with his right foot over the goalkeeper from three yards out from a tight angle.
