Scottish Cup: Buckie Thistle vs Celtic
The much-awaited game between Celtic and Buckie Thistle will mark Celtic’s inaugural competitive encounter with Buckie. It is worth mentioning that the two teams crossed paths back in 1989, coinciding with Thistle’s centennial jubilations.
Garry Farquhar, the esteemed chairman of Buckie, conveyed his elation for this upcoming event, remarking on the remarkable fervor demonstrated by the multitude of buses en route to Glasgow.
He spoke about the match with great enthusiasm, describing it as a fulfillment of his wildest dreams. This was particularly remarkable given Buckie’s outstanding performance in making it to the fourth round and managing to secure a tie against the reigning champions.
Buckie Thistle’s journey to this stage was filled with breathtaking victories, such as a thrilling last-minute equalizer, a late goal in extra time, and a triumphant victory in a penalty shootout against Broxburn Athletic back in November.
