National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Clyde or Celtic that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premiership game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Motherwell. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Celtic's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Celtic have performed like this: Played six matches resulting in 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat with the goal stats 13-4 (scored/conceded).
