Brendan Rodgers
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers spoke about what it will be like to play in the Scottish Cup, praising the competition and also the match against Aberdeen: "I'm really looking forward to it. I've had to wait a long time to get back to Hampden this time. The Scottish Cup is a very rich competition in its history, especially for a club like Celtic, who have won it 41 times. The memories created in this competition over the years are iconic for the club, so for us to be able to take that step with another opportunity to win it, I'm really looking forward to it. Our training has been great this week and everyone is on the same page. We've got players back and available, the quality and speed of training has been absolutely excellent. And it's at this time of the season that a club like ours comes alive with the expectation and opportunity to win titles. That's something I found here my first time and I feel it again this time. We're going there and we respect Aberdeen. It hasn't been a great season for them in terms of the league and changes of manager, but any semi-final is always a tough game, but we're ready for it. We have to expect a tough game and any team that reaches the semi-final has the opportunity to reach the final. So I imagine Peter (Leven) and his team will try to seize the opportunity. For us, the focus is on ourselves and our own performance, and I'm very focused on that, nothing else really apart from preparing for this game. Hampden is a very special place and we've never forgotten that. Obviously, it was a stressful final. We didn't start very well, but then we got back into the game, which ebbed and flowed. But as the game went on, in the last half hour, it looked like we would be the ones to score, we kept pressing and obviously Derek's team kept fighting and held us off. But then Tom's moment of magic won the game. It was an incredible feeling and I loved the moments at Hampden playing these games. The game and the occasion create the atmosphere, and every time I've been there, I've loved the atmosphere and it's always been a great occasion. You can say that when you win and that helps, but I've always thought they're great occasions and you have to enjoy them."
