Greig Spence's Hampden goal

Greig Spence is looking to complete a dream season as a double winner at Hampden- kick off 7.30pm.

The striker left Alloa for Celtic at the start of the season and has fired the goals to take Stevie Frail's side to within ninety minutes of the double.

Spence's eight game scoring run- including match-winners against Livingston in the SFA Youth Cup semi and Rangers in the league- came to a halt against Aberdeen on Saturday but that didn't dampen his celebrations of Celtic's title success.

Tonight's Hampden date with Rangers gives the young hoops another opportunity to lift silverware with Spence going into the match full of confidence.

He said: "We can't wait for the game to come along, we're confident on the back of winning the league and the spirit among the players is sky high.

"This is the first final that I've been in for a while and playing at Hampden will be the highlight of the season- you can't get better than a final at the National Stadium.

"Goals are what strikers are there for, especially when you play on your own up front. I've managed to bag a few and I've been happy with that.

"Every time that I get put through on goal it's in my head that I'm going to score.

"Although I've scored a few goals we've had a great defence, they've had a good run of clean sheets and that spreads confidence throughout the team."

After a lean spell in February Spence was dropped for the home defeat from Rangers but responded with a double against Falkirk in the following match.

At any level scoring in eight consecutive games is a fantastic achievement with Spence convinced that being left out helped turn his season around.

"I went through a bad period and got dropped," he recalled. "The coaches got a reaction from me after that and I've been happy with my form.

"Looking back I was maybe trying too hard and things weren't going for me. Football is about highs and lows, I was firing blanks, I wasn't playing well and deserved to be dropped.

"The coaches told me that I had to offer more to the team and score more. It's great to be scoring but I feel that I've been contributing more to the team as well.

"Winning the league was great and now we're looking to add another trophy.

"We've had two close games with Rangers. They are a good team but we know what's at stake and winning a final at Hampden would be a fantastic feeling."

Anyone going to Hampden should get along early, it's pay at the gate, in the past there has been a lack of turnstyles to let supporters in.
