Deserved nothing today. However two out of three ain't bad as the song goes and beats nothing out of three which regardless of their delight tonight our rivals will awake to that realisation. Wake up call for the board and the good recruitment doctor. What's brought on to replace first 11 aren't good enough. Manager needs to have a look at himself too. Couldn't beat the H*ns and the tactical genius that is Barry Ferguson over 90 minutes in last 4 meetings. As ma laddie said a win would have papered over the cracks. Well done Aberdeen. That said they finished Hatatas season 10 days ago when game was finished and ball was dead. Plus they took out Forrest today and both were a massive loss. Had Jamesie stayed on the park today who knows because Yang was pants. It says it all about our recruitment though that a player nearing the end of his career is our best winger. We need a big summer particularly if we're unseeded and have a qualifier to play. We've again stumped up plenty for season tickets in difficult economic times. Over to the board.

It's not a wake up call to the board. The players and the manager are to blame not the board, ref or Peter Lawwell. The board have spent £9m on Idah, £11m on Engels, millions on Kuhn, Bernardo etc and they were rank rotten today all of them. McCowan and Yang showed exactly why they are subs.

I agree we were far too predictable as did the Aberdeen manager. Our squad had two key injuries but the remainder created next to nothing. Not enough flair, pace and imagination and that goes all the way to the manager as well. BR is probably the best we can do, but he has to realize that like for like substitutions doesn't always work when most of the replacements are inferior quality.
Sometimes a change of formation, personnel and game-plan helps.
However, that makes no difference now. Too many players who were irreplaceable and unplayable last year have apparently burnt out and the lack of real quality in depth required to be a great team were never there to start with. More questions than answers going into the new season and the doubts will be raised yet again about our recruitment and standards expected and quality required.
The knee jerk reaction will be focused on the latest arrivals but there is a reality check required about how good we think we are.

No drive, no urgency. The Chuckle Brothers "To me, to you" passing across the back line is desperate. We got what we deserved today.

Awful game, we all knew Aberdeen would play for the shootout, eleven players in defence throughout the game and extra time. Painful watching, otherwise no real excuse, we were horrendous.

Give them some credit. No one plays for penalties, you were undone by the better team.

I think if we'd won today it would have been papering over the cracks, I don't think we are as good as we think and today shows that this season we finished the league with 92 points and the season before we finished with 93 so I don't see the progress in this team and I think it's come to an end of it's cycle and needs freshened up but recruitment has to be better as not one of the players we have signed this season has made us any better.
I think we need to feel this defeat today to make us come back hungrier and stronger and to show we need to work hard every day and not just need to turn up to matches and think we are going to win.

Agreed Mick, the best thing that happened to us in recent times was losing a SC Semi Final to The Sevies in 2016 (didn't feel like it at the time) , it gave us a shake up and we then went on to win a Quadruple Treble. Complacency is the only thing that will stop us dominating for the years ahead. Days like today can have positive outcomes 👍.

If you had a pound for every time you shouted dig it or shoot today you could retire. Story of the season for me.

I agree we were rubbish, hatate as much as he drifts out of games he's an attacking threat with some need layoffs, bernardine n angels ain't that, McGowan being a celtic fan was probably great player of bad team which being one of or own ain't great to say, but here's my opinion Schmeichel let us down but saved us a lot through out season, defence fine they have limits but why rocking not in line up,? We lose hatate wat everyone expects where chances come from? Angels was better than barnardo who was terrible, penalty kickers weren't on pitch, is Taylor someone who if leaves don't appreciate when gone? Some queasy for others Schmeichel fucked up not bad keeper, Aberdeen was antifootball n was lucky but we never had penalty takers left, Kenny as much as a wanted to succeed ain't celtic class but can we get 3rd gd option as striker as everyone says about Dalston being backup rb has his levels but who's going to b more reliable, end of day we lost a cup we shouldn't have, records t made to b broken well. done aberdeen, double. still class jus wantothers opinion on questions asked.

Schmeichel was to busy trying ti psych their players than trying to save any. However, the rest of the team were way below par.
Our manager was also outdone by Thelin who knew we would have all the possession but dedended in depth even at 0-1.
He then had the gumption to make massive changes to personnel and tactically while we brought on like for like - as we always do.
Can't be too harsh on Celtic who have had a great season with two trophies and a decent Cl run.

Maeda should have won the game.

Lbh. Bernardo, McCowan, Yang. these boys are only there to make up the numbers. Never good enough. Neither are Engles, scales, Trusty, Schlupp etc al.

I knew Maeda would make a dogs dinner of that chance just like I knew he would when he was clean through in the last minute at Ibrox. Another over hyped player in my opinion!

That was a big shock because I couldn't see a defeat for Celtic.
I wasn't nervous at all considering it was a massive match.
I definitely took Aberdeen lightly but I'm only a supporter.
The Celtic players were 100% complacent and they got what they deserved.
Well Done to Aberdeen because it was a 35 year long overdue Scottish Cup Success.

Buzz, I was a wee bit apprehensive simply because we had just thrashed them 6 and the players even subconciously may have been over confident. Another factor has been the decline in form of key players in recent weeks and the injuries leaving us short of options.
However, no excuses. Aberdeen had a plan and it worked for them.
We had high expectations but low gears and poor performances.

You cannot have 80% of possession and not make more chances than we did. Poor, poor, poor.
I am not accepting that BR gets the blame, he replaced Bernardo as he was giving the ball away and giving them the chance to attack. He was poor.
Kuhn didn't look up for it. I think the rumours have got into his head.
The players we have should have been able to move the ball quicker and create chances. This game reflected our season after Christmas.
KS had a poor day, his distribution was poor and the goal summed up his and our day.
Losing wee Jamsie soon after coming on created more issues.
Maeda through one on one, I never thought he was going to score, he was having one of those games.
What is it about our players that they don't take the opportunity to shoot, we had at least a dozen opportunities in extra time where players went wide instead of shooting.
They double up on our wingers and our players didn't know what to do.
I love McGowan amd Bernardo but both are squad players.
Reo is a game changer, if he goes we need someone of his quality.
We need another LB, Schlupp can leave, a winger, a striker and a CB.
Sinssalo should be given a chance next season.
Saddest part of the day, was our captain missed his penalty, he had a great game but will be hurting.
