With the fans and players at war, it certainly doesn't feel like Aberdeen are in touching distance of a first trophy in 11 years. Jimmy Thelin's men have veered wildly between feast and famine all season, and unfortunately for Dons fans, right now they're on a barren run of four straight defeats. The Scottish Cup final, conversely, could secure Celtic their sixth domestic treble in nine seasons.

Aberdeen defender Jack MacKenzie needed stitches after being hit in the face with a seat thrown by his own fans last weekend. They'd just lost to Dundee Utd, who'll play in Europe next season unless the Dons are able to rescue their campaign with a victory at Hampden Park on Saturday.
While Brendan Rodgers, who's won every Scottish Cup game he's presided over and could become the first manager to win a treble of trebles, hasn't tired of winning every title in Scotland, there was a flatness to Celtic last time out, before James Forrest saved the day with a 94th-minute equalizer against St Mirren.
Are the Bhoys on the beach already? Celtic and Aberdeen served up a 3-3 thriller that went to penalties the last time they met in this competition, 12 months ago, which should offer hope to the Dons. Daizen Maeda, however, has been in ridiculous form in the Scottish Cup, scoring seven in four.
