The match saw a brace from Daizen Maeda, whose sharp finishing provided a solid foundation for the Hoops. Nicolas Kuhn added to Celtic’s tally, ensuring that their dominance was reflected on the scoreboard.

Falkirk’s journey to the quarter-finals has been marked by resilience and determination, most notably with their shock victory over Hearts. This upset has positioned Falkirk as a team to watch, even as they prepare for the daunting task of taking on Celtic in their own backyard.
Elsewhere in the competition, Dundee United and Motherwell have also secured their places in the last eight. Dundee United progressed after a solid performance against Airdrieonians, while Motherwell edged out Ross County to advance. These two sides will now face off at Fir Park, with both teams eager to continue their cup runs.
Rangers, another of Scotland’s football giants, comfortably dispatched St Johnstone to book their quarter-final spot. The Light Blues, who have had a strong start to their cup campaign, will now play against Dundee. Rangers’ performance so far suggests they will be formidable opponents, and their match against Dundee promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Aberdeen, who have also been impressive in this season’s Premier Sports Cup, secured their quarter-final place by defeating Queen’s Park. The Dons will face Spartans, a team that has made an unexpected but commendable run to the quarter-finals. Spartans advanced after a narrow win against Airdrieonians, and they now face the challenge of taking on a top-tier side in Aberdeen.
The quarter-final draw has set up a series of intriguing ties, with each match offering its own narrative and set of challenges. Celtic’s clash with Falkirk will be closely watched, particularly given Falkirk’s underdog status and their potential to cause another upset. Meanwhile, Rangers will be expected to continue their strong form against Dundee, but cup competitions often bring surprises, and nothing can be taken for granted.
The Dundee United vs. Motherwell match is another fixture that promises excitement, with both teams having shown resilience and quality in their previous cup matches. Aberdeen’s encounter with Spartans adds to the mix, pitting a Premiership side against a lower league opponent with nothing to lose.
As the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals approach, Scottish football fans can look forward to a weekend of high-stakes action, with every team aiming to secure a place in the semi-finals and move one step closer to lifting the trophy.
