Celtic Women’s Scottish Cup final celebrations caught the attention of supporters for more than one reason on Saturday.
After securing a stunning Scottish Cup final win over Rangers, the squad were filmed singing Simply The Best as they celebrated lifting the trophy.
For Celtic fans, the scenes felt instantly familiar.
The men’s team made headlines earlier this season when they used the same song during their Premiership title celebrations.
Seeing the women do exactly the same thing made it feel less like a dressing-room joke and more like a club-wide message.

Celtic Women followed the example already set by Celtic’s men
When the men’s squad celebrated the league title with Simply The Best, the reaction was immediate. The song has long been associated with Rangers, which gave the celebrations an extra edge.
Supporters immediately recognised what Celtic Women were doing.
Celtic Women had every reason to celebrate after defeating their rivals in a major final, but supporters quickly noticed the similarity between the two trophy-winning moments.
That is what made the clip stand out. It was not just another dressing room celebration. It echoed one of the most talked-about moments from the men’s title-winning season.
Celtic have turned a Rangers favourite into a celebration of Hoops success
The best part was that nobody at Celtic appears interested in pretending it was a coincidence.
The men’s team sang Simply The Best after winning the league. The women sang it after beating Rangers in the Scottish Cup final.
At that point, the message is pretty obvious.
Celtic are the ones collecting trophies right now, and both dressing rooms seem more than happy to remind their rivals of it.
