Scottish Cup Betting Markets & Odds

Established in 1873, the Scottish Cup is the second oldest competition in football history behind the FA Cup. It’s one of the most prestigious tournaments in club football, with the great and the good of Scottish football doing everything they can each season to get their hands on the trophy.

For each game, we offer a range of popular markets, including Match Betting, Total Goals – Under/Over and Both Teams to Score as well as many more.

On top of all that, with Parimatch you can also bet on the outright winner of the Scottish Cup. Whoever you fancy, odds will be available for all competing teams to lift the trophy right up until a champion is confirmed.

Unlike the Scottish League Cup, the Scottish Cup is a straight knockout competition. It normally begins in mid-August and runs alongside the league season. The final usually takes place at the end of May, as the last game of the campaign before the summer break.

A total of 100 clubs enter the Scottish Cup each year, coming in at different stages depending on their position in the league pyramid. Those in the Scottish Premiership enter in the fourth round in January. Ties are drawn at random, with the winner progressing to the next round. If a game is drawn, then there will be a replay to determine who advances (up to and including the quarter-final stage). If the replay finishes level, extra time and penalties come into play. The semi-finals take place at a neutral venue, which is usually the same stadium that hosts the final – Hampden Park.

The prize on offer for the winner can lead to even more glory. Not only do they lift the trophy – which is the oldest association football trophy in the world - they also qualify for the following season’s UEFA Europa League.

In the 2020/21 campaign the holders of the Scottish Cup were Celtic. The Hoops were champions in 2019/20, beating Hearts on penalties in the final at Hampden Park after the two played out a 3-3 draw. It was actually Celtic’s fourth successive Scottish Cup triumph, having also won in 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19.

Looking to bet on Celtic to go all the way again? Our outright Scottish Cup betting markets enable you to back The Bhoys to add more silverware to their collection.

Celtic are the most successful club in Scottish Cup history. As of the 2020/21 season, The Bhoys have lifted the famous trophy on 40 occasions with their first triumph coming way back in 1892, when they beat Queen’s Park 5-1 in the final.

Rangers are second on the list with 33 titles to their name, the first of which came in 1894. Other clubs to have won the Scottish Cup on multiple occasions include Queen’s Park, Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibernian, and Kilmarnock.
