Odds in Hoops’ favour

-

CELTIC are now massive favourites with the bookies to win the Scottish Cup and complete the Treble after yesterday’s Hampden stroll.

The Hoops eased past old rivals Rangers with a 2-0 win to set up a final clash with Aberdeen next month.

Tournament sponsors William Hill have made Brendan Rodgers’s men 2-7 to go on to complete the clean sweep on May 27.

The champions are 4-6 to finish the job inside 90 minutes at Hampden.

Aberdeen are 5-2 to lift the trophy for the first time since beating Celts back in 1990 and 16-5 to do it inside 90 minutes.

Hills spokesman Joe Crilly said: “It was a traditiona­l Old Firm game and Celtic are now the red-hot favourites to win the Scottish Cup.”

The sides meet again in the Premiershi­p at Ibrox on Saturday and Rangers are 7-2 with McBookie to end their rivals’ unbeaten domestic run this season.

Celtic are 3-4 with the Scots firm and a draw pays 3-1.
