The 1989 Scottish Cup final was played between Celtic and Rangers at Hampden Park on 20 May 1989.

Celtic won the match 1–0, denying Rangers a domestic treble. The only goal came when Joe Miller capitalised on a defensive error and slotted the ball past Rangers' goalkeeper.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2507&dat=19890522&id=izNAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=RlkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3687,251027 |newspaper=The Glasgow Herald |date=22 May 1989 |page=22 |title=Tension and fear spoil show-piece |first=James |last=Traynor |access-date=19 January 2018|via=Google News}}

This was the last Old Firm Scottish Cup final for 10 years until 1999.

While less than 50% of the all-time record crowds at Hampden, the attendance of just over 72,000 has become a landmark figure as no match in Scotland has come close to matching it since, owing to subsequent stadium modernisation which left no venue with a greater capacity.{{cite web |url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hearts-clash-celtic-scottish-footballs-13466380.amp |title=Hearts’ clash with Celtic will boast Scottish football’s biggest crowd in 29 years |work=Daily Record |date=24 October 2018|first=Gavin|last=Berry |access-date=28 October 2018}}
