May 11, 2011 · 0 Comments
The 2011 Scottish Cup Final, Scottish football’s most prestigious football competition will take place at Hampden Park on Saturday 21st May 2011 in a 3pm kick-off live on both BBC One Scotland and Sky Sports 2 / HD2.
It will be the 126th final of the Scottish Cup, which this time around will be contested by Stuart McCall’s Motherwell and Neil Lennon’s Celtic. It is Motherwell’s seventh appearance in the final, they were runners-up three times in the 1930s and then lost to Celtic in the 1951 final in front of a massive crowd of 131, 943. However they went on to lift the Cup for the first time the following year with a 4-0 thrashing of Dundee. It took the Lanarkshire club forty years to reach another Scottish Cup Final when they took the spoils after a thrilling 4-3 extra-time win over Dundee Utd in 1991.
Celtic by contrast have won the Scottish Cup 34 times, more than any other club – the last being in 2007. It’s ten years since Neil Lennon made his first cup final appearance for Celtic as a player – they won the trophy in 2001 with victory over Hibs. It was a season which heralded an era of great success for the Glasgow club with Lennon as captain and Martin O’Neill as manager.
BBC One Scotland’s Sportscene coverage will commence at 1pm on Saturday 21st May and will be presented by Rob Maclean with analysis from Pat Nevin and Scotland Manager Craig Levein. Liam McLeod and Craig Paterson are in the commentary box. Sky Sports coverage of the final commences at 2.30pm on Sky Sports 2 / HD2.
