Final

edit

The final was the first to be played at the national stadium Hampden Park and the first to be played between Celtic and Rangers, the pre-eminent rivalry in Scottish men's football known as the Old Firm derby. The popularity of the clubs led to increased interest in this match, with the attendance of over 10,000 far exceeding what had come to be the expected crowd figure of between 3-4,000 for women's cup finals in Scotland.

Celtic were the defending champions, having won the competition for the first time in 2022. Rangers were making their third appearance and looking for their maiden victory; they reached the final without conceding a goal in four rounds. They had already won the 2022–23 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup (for the first time) earlier in the season. With both teams having suffered the disappointment of missing out on the 2022–23 Scottish Women's Premier League title on the last matchday a week earlier, they were considered evenly matched going into the final. Celtic came out on top and retained the trophy with two goals in the second half from Natasha Flint and Claire O'Riordan, both originating from corners.
