In the quarter-finals, Celtic were drawn away to St Mirren, who had eliminated Celtic from the 2012–13 Scottish League Cup a month beforehand. Early goals by Joe Ledley and Anthony Stokes, either side of an equaliser by St Mirren, gave Celtic a 2–1 victory at St Mirren Park.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21556779 Kenny Crawford St Mirren 1–2 Celtic BBC Sport BBC 2 March 2013 20 April 2013 9 February 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190209181707/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21556779 live In the second semi-final at Hampden Park, Celtic won a thrilling match by 4–3 after extra time against Dundee United.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22056531 Dundee Utd 3–4 Celtic Clive Lindsay BBC Sport BBC 14 April 2013 20 April 2013 12 November 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201112015829/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22056531 live A Kris Commons goal gave Celtic an early lead, but United scored twice midway through the first half to lead 2–1.

Pre-match
This was Hibs 13th appearance in the Scottish Cup final. They had previously won two Scottish Cups (in 1887 and 1902), and been beaten in ten finals. Celtic appeared in their 55th Scottish Cup final and had won the Scottish Cup on 35 previous occasions, most recently in 2011. The clubs had previously met in five Scottish Cup finals, most recently in 2001. Hibs won the first Scottish Cup Final meeting in 1902, with Celtic winning the four subsequent meetings in 1914 (after a replay), 1923, 1972 and 2001.
For the first time in its history, the Scottish Cup final was played on a Sunday.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/16685196 Sunday switch for 2013 Scottish Cup final BBC Sport BBC 23 January 2012 13 April 2013 25 November 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20181125234948/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/16685196 live This was done to comply with UEFA regulations which prohibit televised matches being played on the same day as the UEFA Champions League final. The 2012 Scottish Cup final was played on the same day as the 2012 UEFA Champions League final, but this was done under a one-year waiver offered by UEFA. Fixture congestion meant that the 2013 Scottish Cup final could not be moved to an earlier weekend.
Both clubs received an allocation of approximately 20,000 tickets, out of a total capacity at Hampden Park of 52,063.William Hill Scottish Cup final ticket prices announced http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=1957&newsCategoryID=7&newsID=11732 scottishfa.co.uk Scottish Football Association 18 April 2013 20 April 2013 The remaining seats were accounted for by Hampden Park debenture holders, hospitality, sponsors, media and segregation areas.

Report
Celtic opened the scoring in the 8th minute; a poor clearance from Hibs defender Alan Maybury was intercepted by Anthony Stokes who sent a cross from the left beyond the reach of goalkeeper Ben Williams and was side-footed into the goal by Gary Hooper. Despite the conceding of an early goal, Hibs did not crumble but it was Celtic who continued to create the better goalscoring chances. On 31 minutes, Celtic doubled their lead. Stokes sent in another cross from the left, and Hooper ran in between two Hibs defenders to shoot past Williams in goal.
The second half was a quiet affair, but Celtic sealed their victory with a third goal on 80 minutes. Mikael Lustig set up Hooper with an excellent chance to complete his hat trick, but the Celtic striker mis-kicked. The ball broke to Joe Ledley, who fired a powerful shot into the top corner of Williams' goal to put Celtic 3–0 ahead.Lamont Alasdair https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22585339 Scottish Cup final: Hibernian 0-3 Celtic BBC Sport 26 May 2013 12 November 2013 14 January 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160114202645/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22585339 live
