The 1932–33 Scottish football season was Celtic's 45th season of competitive football, in which they competed in the Scottish First Division[1] and the Scottish Cup.
Celtic ended the league in fourth position below Hearts, Motherwell and champions Rangers, thus failing to win the league for the seventh season in a row, which was their longest dry spell ever at the time.
However, Celtic managed to win the Scottish Cup for the 14th time in their history, their 31st major domestic honour. After defeating Dunfermline Athletic 1-7 away in the first round and both Falkirk and Partick Thistle at home, they needed replays to advance against both Albion Rovers in the fourth round and Hearts in the semi-final.
Facing Motherwell in the final, the same rival they had faced in the 1931 final, they beat them 1-0 at Hampden Park with a Jimmy McGrory goal, in front of over 100,000 spectators.
