Celtic face St Johnstone as Hearts take on Aberdeen in Scottihs Cup semis
“We can dream, it’s all about the cup – dreaming.”
The semi-finals will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 19 at Hampden Park.
The Saints will face the Celtics, who not only leads at the top of the Premier League, but continues to move forward with a 2-1 win over the Heberans on Sunday to win the trophy for the third consecutive year and their 43rd time in history.
Perth sat on the bottom of the top flight and has lost 6-0 to the Celtics this season, losing 4-0 in the league 4-0.
However, experienced left-back Barry Douglas has offered his teammates an inspiring speech about the possibility of lifting the trophy for the third time in 11 years.
Varakari added: “As Barry Douglas said to our players after the game, you can play a long career at National Stadium and never play in the semifinals – so it’s a great day.”
“This is the history of our club and everyone knows that we want to write our name into history now. We will enjoy that and now we are back in the Premier League.”
In another semifinal, Eight-time Champion Hearts will hope to lose in 2022 and go further than last season, which is where they entered the finals after being defeated by the Rangers in the past four seasons.
Similarly, last season, Aberdeen lost to the Celtics in the semifinals, and the Celtics were punished after a 3-3 draw.
Towns has canceled the trophy seven times but has not won the championship since 1990, while Hearts won the trophy in 2012.
Aberdeen beat Edinburgh visitors 3-2 in August, as two league meetings ended all the squares at that time.
