The 1988 Scottish Cup Final was played between Celtic and Dundee United at Hampden Park on 14 May 1988.
Celtic won 2–1, with Frank McAvennie scoring both of their goals. They had been 1-0 down after Kevin Gallacher put Dundee United ahead, only for McAvennie to score a late equaliser and then a winner with a low right foot shot at the back post after a corner to complete the double for Celtic, who were already Premier Division champions.
The guest of honour was British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, greeted by supporters of both teams by a wave of red cards.
