The previous winners were Aberdeen, who had beaten Celtic in the 1984 final, but they were knocked out by Dundee United at the Semi-final stage. The Final was contested by Celtic and Dundee United. Celtic won the match 2–1, thanks to a free kick scored by Davie Provan and a late diving header from Frank McGarvey. Match The first half was a tame affair, with neither Pat Bonner or Hamish McAlpine been required to make a save of note. Dundee United opened the scoring on 53 minutes; Eamonn Bannon passed to David Dodds who controlled the ball whilst holding off a challenge, then slipped the ball to Stuart Beedie who fired a low shot past Bonner's left hand into the corner of the goal. Trailing to Dundee United, Celtic manager Davie Hay make a tactical change in the second half by pushing Roy Aitken forward from central defence into midfield. The move proved a success as Aitken's presence in midfield began to galvanise Celtic. A virtuoso free-kick from Davie Provan in 77 minutes equalised the earlier goal from Dundee Utd's Beedie, only the third occasion that a goal had been scored direct from a free-kick in a Scottish Cup Final. Five minutes from the end, a driving run and cross from down the right by Aitken set up a diving header from Frank McGarvey to win the game for Celtic.Davidson Alan Final touch from Frank https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=GNJAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yqYMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2108%2C4153727 21 July 2015 Evening Times Saturday Sport 18 May 1985 1 & 3Davidson Alan Hay's all star 50,000 https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=GdJAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yqYMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6296%2C4513577 21 July 2015 Evening Times 20 May 1985 30https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2507&dat=19850520&id=V7ZAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=r6UMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2438,4527776 The Glasgow Herald 20 May 1985 17 Roy of Celtic marches forward for Cup glory Reynolds Jim 9 January 2015 Roy Aitken, who had been sent off in the previous year's final, won the Man of the Match Award.
