Coronation Cup (football)
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates The Coronation Cup was a one-off football tournament to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, between four English and four Scottish clubs, held in Glasgow in May 1953. This tournament, like the Empire Exhibition Trophy, was held in very high regard by football clubs, as at the time it allowed teams to test themselves against teams from another country in the days before European football.
Celtic and Hibernian met in the final at Hampden Park, Celtic coming out the winners 2–0 before 117,000 spectators.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Celtic: Coronation Cup win paved way to European Cup glory, Mike Henson, BBC Sport, 5 May 2023</ref> Celtic's victory meant that they became the unofficial champions of Britain.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
