Final

edit

Holders Hibernian retained the cup for their fourth win overall. They were made to work for their victory by first-time finalists Celtic, in their first season competing under the identity of the famous men's club (they took over existing league members Arsenal North),[5] who had eliminated Glasgow City in an early round.[6] Hibs had also won the 2007–08 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup earlier in the season, but lost out in the SWPL championship to Glasgow City a week after their Scottish Cup win.
