Despite much improvement in their league results, which saw them pile 58 points and an unbeaten run of 17 games from August to January (13 wins and 4 draws), Celtic fell short by two points as they ended runners-up to Rangers, who won the league for the fifth year in a row. However, their Scottish Cup campaign was much more successful, as they beat East Fife, Dundee United and Morton away in the first three rounds, Aberdeen 4-0 home in the fourth round, and Kilmarnock 3-0 in the semi-final at Hampden Park to reach the final against Motherwell, who reached their first ever cup final. The final played out in dramatic fashion as Motherwell outplayed Celtic and led comfortably 0-2 with eight minutes to go, but one goal by Jimmy McGrory and then an own goal in the dying moments as Motherwell centre half Allan Craig headed the ball towards his keeper only for it to find the net. The replay was scheduled four days later, and Celtic won 4-2 with Bertie Thomson and Jimmy McGrory scoring a brace each. This was Celtic's 13th Scottish Cup triumph and their 30th major domestic trophy overall.
