The 2014 Scottish Cup Final was the 129th final of the Scottish Cup, the most prestigious knockout football competition in Scotland.

After winning the game 2–0, St Johnstone entered the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League in the Second Qualifying Round. [2] [3]

[10] In the semi-final at Ibrox on 12 April, Dundee United faced Rangers. Goals from Armstrong, Mackay-Steven and Çiftçi sent Dundee United to the final for the first time since 2010. [11]
This was St Johnstone's first appearance in the Scottish Cup Final, [12] while it was Dundee United's tenth appearance. United had previously won two Scottish Cups (in 1994 and 2010), and have been beaten in seven finals. The most notable meeting of the two clubs in the Scottish Cup until now was in the 1990–91 Scottish Cup, when Dundee United won 2–1 in a semi-final at East End Park and advanced to the 1991 Scottish Cup Final.
For the first time in its history, the Scottish Cup Final was played on a Sunday in 2013. [13] This was done to comply with UEFA regulations which prohibit televised matches being played on the same day as the UEFA Champions League Final. [13] As the 2014 UEFA Champions League Final was being played on a different weekend, this meant that the Scottish Cup Final could again be played on a Saturday.
The redevelopment of Hampden Park for use as the main athletics stadium in the 2014 Commonwealth Games meant that the traditional home of the Scottish Cup Final was not available. [14] As with the 2014 Scottish League Cup Final, the Scottish Football Association opted to use Celtic Park instead. [12] [14] 26,000 tickets were sold on the first full day of sales. [12] St Johnstone received an initial allocation of 11,300 tickets, but almost all of these were sold after the first day of public sale. [12] Dundee United had sold about 16,000 tickets before commencing their public sale of tickets. [12] A JustGiving appeal to fund tickets for poorer fans raised over £14,000 within 12 hours of it being launched. [15]
A day before the final Dundee United announced they had broken their own record of ticket sales for a final by selling over 28,000 tickets. St Johnstone, meanwhile, sold over 15,000 tickets. [16] [17]
The match was shown live on BBC Scotland and on Sky Sports.
