The 2013 Scottish Cup Final was the 128th final of the Scottish Cup, the most prestigious knockout football competition in Scotland. The match took place at Hampden Park on 26 May 2013 and was contested by Hibernian and Celtic. It was the first time the two clubs had played each other in the Scottish Cup since the 2001 final, which Celtic won 3–0, but Hibs' second consecutive final following their heavy defeat against Hearts the previous year. For the first time in its history, the Scottish Cup Final was played on a Sunday. [2]
Celtic won the match 3–0, taking a 2–0 lead in the first through two Gary Hooper goals, before Joe Ledley added a third late in the second half. [3] It was their 36th win of the Cup, extending their own record.

Scottish Premier League club Hibernian entered the competition in the Fourth Round. [4] They began their campaign against cup holders Heart of Midlothian at Easter Road. [4] The only goal of the game was scored by midfielder David Wotherspoon. [5] Hibs then took on SPL opposition again, this time in the shape of Aberdeen. [6] Hibs won 1–0 courtesy of a Gary Deegan strike, with the winning margin being preserved by a penalty kick save by Ben Williams. [6]
In the quarter-final Hibs were drawn against another SPL club, Kilmarnock. [6] Leigh Griffiths scored a hat-trick as Hibs won through by 4–2. [7] In the semi final at Hampden Park, Hibs faced Falkirk in an enthralling encounter.

| Round | Opposition | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Fourth Round | Arbroath | 1–1 |
| Fourth Round Replay | 1–0 | |
| Fifth Round | Raith Rovers | 3–0 |
| Quarter-final | St Mirren | 2–1 |
| Semi-final | Dundee United | 4–3 (a.e.t.) |
Celtic also entered the competition at the fourth round (last 32) stage and were drawn at home against Second Division club Arbroath. Manager Neil Lennon made several changes to his team for the match, which was played a few days before a crucial UEFA Champions League match against Spartak Moscow. [9] Celtic took the lead through an own goal by Arbroath, but missed chances and Arbroath scored a late equalising goal to force a replay at Gayfield Park. [9] Arbroath again gave Celtic a difficult test in the replay, despite conceding an early goal scored by Adam Matthews. [10] This proved to be the only goal of the game and Celtic progressed to the fifth round, against Raith Rovers. [10] Played on a heavy and bumpy Starks Park pitch, Celtic eventually overcame a defensive performance by Raith to win 3–0, with Kris Commons, Charlie Mulgrew and James Forrest scoring the goals. [11]
In the quarter-finals, Celtic were drawn away to St Mirren, who had eliminated Celtic from the 2012–13 Scottish League Cup a month beforehand. [12] Early goals by Joe Ledley and Anthony Stokes, either side of an equaliser by St Mirren, gave Celtic a 2–1 victory at St Mirren Park. [12] In the second semi-final at Hampden Park, Celtic won a thrilling match by 4–3 after extra time against Dundee United. [13] A Kris Commons goal gave Celtic an early lead, but United scored twice midway through the first half to lead 2–1. [13] Victor Wanyama scored an equaliser almost immediately and Commons scored another goal after 60 minutes to give Celtic a 3–2 lead. [13] Jon Daly scored his second goal of the game to equalise and force extra time. [13] Soon after Daly had hit the post, Anthony Stokes scored the winning goal. [13]
This was Hibs 13th appearance in the Scottish Cup Final. They had previously won two Scottish Cups (in 1887 and 1902), and been beaten in ten finals. Celtic appeared in their 55th Scottish Cup Final and had won the Scottish Cup on 35 previous occasions, most recently in 2011. The clubs had previously met in five Scottish Cup Finals, most recently in 2001. Hibs won the first Scottish Cup Final meeting in 1902, with Celtic winning the four subsequent meetings in 1914 (after a replay), 1923, 1972 and 2001.
For the first time in its history, the Scottish Cup Final was played on a Sunday. [2] This was done to comply with UEFA regulations which prohibit televised matches being played on the same day as the UEFA Champions League Final. [2] The 2012 Scottish Cup Final was played on the same day as the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final, but this was done under a one-year waiver offered by UEFA. [2] Fixture congestion meant that the 2013 Scottish Cup Final could not be moved to an earlier weekend. [2]
Both clubs received an allocation of approximately 20,000 tickets, out of a total capacity at Hampden Park of 52,063. [14] The remaining seats were accounted for by Hampden Park debenture holders, hospitality, sponsors, media and segregation areas. Tickets cost £35 in the North and South Stands, with prices set at £28 for adults and £10 for concessions (adults aged over 65, matriculated students and children under 16 years old) in the West and East Stands. [14]
Willie Collum was appointed to referee the match, with Willie Conquer and Martin Cryans as his assistants. [15] For the first time in a competitive Scottish match, additional assistant referees were appointed. [15]
Celtic opened the scoring in the 8th minute; a poor clearance from Hibs defender Alan Maybury was intercepted by Anthony Stokes who sent a cross from the left beyond the reach of goalkeeper Ben Williams and was side-footed into the goal by Gary Hooper. Despite the conceding of an early goal, Hibs did not crumble but it was Celtic who continued to create the better goalscoring chances. On 31 minutes, Celtic doubled their lead. Stokes sent in another cross from the left, and Hooper ran in between two Hibs defenders to shoot past Williams in goal.
The second half was a quiet affair, but Celtic sealed their victory with a third goal on 80 minutes. Mikael Lustig set up Hooper with an excellent chance to complete his hat trick, but the Celtic striker mis-kicked. The ball broke to Joe Ledley, who fired a powerful shot into the top corner of Williams' goal to put Celtic 3–0 ahead. [16]

Early in his career, Sproule played in Northern Ireland for Omagh Town and Institute. He became a full-time professional in January 2005, after he signed for Scottish Premier League side Hibernian, just a month before his 24th birthday. He made a significant impact at Hibernian, scoring a hat-trick against Rangers and earning selection by the Northern Ireland national team.
Anthony Christopher Stokes is an Irish professional footballer, who plays as a striker. He was also an Irish international, having played at the under-21, team B and Republic of Ireland national football team.
Celtic played the 2000–01 season in the Scottish Premier League. Martin O'Neill became manager and Celtic won a domestic treble of the three major Scottish trophies: the Scottish League Cup, the Scottish Premier League trophy and the Scottish Cup.
Season 2005–06 was a season of missed opportunities for Hibernian. The team started strongly in the league, winning 10 of their first 14 games, but this form dipped after Christmas. The Scottish Cup seemed to be opening up for Hibs after they defeated Rangers 3–0 at Ibrox in the fourth round, but they then lost 4–0 in an Edinburgh derby semi–final against Hearts. Hibs lost 3–0 in the quarter–final of the Scottish League Cup at Dunfermline, and were well beaten by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the UEFA Cup.
Season 2009–10 for Hibernian was their eleventh consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. The SPL season began on 15 August 2009, with a 2–1 win against St Mirren at home. After a very strong start to the season in which they challenged for the league leadership, Hibs then had a slump in form in the later part of the season. The team eventually secured a Europa League place via finishing fourth in the SPL by winning 2–0 on the final day at Tannadice. Hibs were eliminated from the Scottish Cup in a quarter final replay by Ross County and were knocked out of the Scottish League Cup in the third round by St Johnstone.
Season 2000–01 was Hibs' second season in the Scottish Premier League, after gaining promotion from the First Division in 1999. 2000–01 proved to be a successful season for Hibs, as they started the season extremely well and eventually finished third, qualifying for the 2001–02 UEFA Cup. The club also had a good Scottish Cup run, reaching the 2001 Scottish Cup Final, but were beaten 3–0 by treble winners Celtic at Hampden Park. The season was also memorable for Hibs fans due to a 6–2 win in an Edinburgh derby against Hearts.
The 2012 Scottish League Cup Final was the 66th final of the Scottish League Cup. The final took place on 18 March 2012 at Hampden Park in Glasgow, in front of a crowd of 49,572.

Days after that defeat, manager Pat Fenlon resigned and was replaced with Terry Butcher. Hibs were knocked out of the 2013–14 Scottish Cup in the fifth round by Raith Rovers. A long winless run to finish the 2013–14 Scottish Premiership season meant that Hibs finished in 11th place, and they were relegated after a playoff against Hamilton Academical.
