Celtic and Aberdeen got the Scottish Cup Final off in style, with two goals in the opening ten minutes. Johnny Hayes' opener was cancelled out by Stuart Armstrong almost immediately.
It was a tit for tat first half, with crunching tackles aplenty. Unfortunately for Celtic fans, they lost Kieran Tierney after just twenty minutes of the final. He had been on the recieving end of a rogue elbow from Jayden Stockely.
That elbow would cost Tierney, as he had to be taken to hospital, but thankfully he was able to return for the celebrations later.
Celtic weren't even awarded a free for the incident, with referee Bobby Madden waving play on.
Celtic fans on Twitter were apoplectic with rage.
Disgraceful officiating as I feared from Madden.Tierney elbowed out of the Cup Final by Stockley's thuggery.

Tom Rogic would eventually change the mood with a last minute winner, as Celtic completed their domestic treble.
