Jeffrey Schlupp is a former player of Crystal Palace

Ghanaian international Jeffrey Schlupp has added another major trophy to his name, this time without being on the pitch for the final, as Crystal Palace lifted the FA Cup after a historic 1-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

Though currently on loan at Scottish champions Celtic, Schlupp played 14 minutes in Palace’s third-round victory over Stockport County earlier in the competition.

That brief appearance was enough to make him eligible for a winner’s medal as his parent club went on to secure their first major trophy in their 119-year history, thanks to Eberechi Eze’s decisive goal at Wembley.

The 32-year-old midfielder shared his joy on social media, posting a photo of himself holding the medal, adding another chapter to his already decorated career.

Schlupp now boasts titles in England and Scotland, having previously won the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015/16 and recently clinching the Scottish Premiership with Celtic in 2024/25.

His contributions at Celtic have not gone unnoticed either, with solid performances including appearances in the UEFA Champions League and 13 league matches, where he registered a goal and an assist.

He is also set to feature in the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen on May 24, 2025, giving him the unique chance to win both the FA Cup and Scottish Cup in the same season, an unprecedented achievement.

With the versatile midfielder making a strong impression during his loan spell, a permanent move to Celtic remains a possibility.
