Brendan Rodgers hoping for more Hampden glory
The Hoops' boss has already won three finals at the national stadium
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is looking to build on the fond memories he has in the William Hill Scottish Cup after Celtic's dramatic 2-1 win over Aberdeen in the final last May and is to lift the trophy again at Hampden this year.
A late Tom Rogic goal meant the Hoops clinched a treble while also going through the whole season unbeaten against domestic opposition.
Ahead of the visit of Partick Thistle on Saturday - the side Celtic beat 2-1 in the Ladbrokes Premiership last month - the former Swansea and Liverpool boss stressed the importance of victory.
"Naturally it is a cup that we want to win like every competition that we have been in,'' he said.
"It is a really prestigious competition, we really enjoyed winning it last year and the nature of how we won it was really special.
"There was a real feel around the Scottish Cup final day. I thoroughly enjoyed it and that is our aim, to go and do the same thing this year.
"But Partick have always been difficult.
"I think Alan (Archibald) is an excellent coach, him and his staff have managed their squad very well and they are always a difficult team to beat.
"We obviously played a few weeks back so we know their threat and the qualities they have.
"We are never complacent in any game we play and in particular against a Partick team that will look to bounce back after their result (2-0 defeat by Rangers) in midweek.'
