The Bhoys have won the championship a record 41 times and will be seeking to go one better at Hampden, with Brendan Rodgers comfortably on track for a domestic double.
However, the one-time nature of spectacular events may catch clubs off guard, leaving no room for complacency from a Celtic standpoint.
With the Scottish Premiership already clinched, the Bhoys should have nothing to worry about; nevertheless, despite defeating Rangers three times this season, each game was decided by a single goal.
In any case, Neil Lennon, who recently won his comeback to football management with Romanian club Rapid Bucharest, has issued an intriguing statement about the two sides of the Glasgow divide.
Lennon spoke live on talkSPORT earlier today on his new role and numerous facets of his previous team, notably the build-up to their Scottish Cup final against Rangers.
When comparing the two teams, the 52-year-old suggested that Philippe Clement’s side may have fell short this season owing to a lack of ‘real quality’ in comparison to Celtic, citing several of the Hoops’ important players as possible difference-makers on the day.
He continued, “I don’t want to get on the critical bandwagon because I’ve been in Philippe’s shoes, and he has a massive job ahead of him. To be fair, he’ll have the summer to make his own mark on the team.
“He’s done a great job with the guys he inherited, but it’s kind of faded for him in the last few months, whether it’s a mental thing or a lack of actual quality.
“I’ve always believed Celtic had more match-winners than Rangers did this season.
Later, he hinted at who he was referring to, saying, “He (Clement) is going to have to find a means to limit Celtic’s rapid starts. Celtic’s midfield has been superb this season, with Hatate returning to join the O’Riley and McGregor duo.
