Jeffrey Schlupp has capped off a remarkable season by securing a 2025 FA Cup winner’s medal with Crystal Palace—despite spending the latter half of the campaign on loan at Celtic.
The 32-year-old Ghanaian international played just 13 minutes in the competition, making a substitute appearance during Palace’s narrow 1-0 third-round victory over Stockport County.
That cameo, however, was enough to earn him a medal under FA regulations, which require only a single appearance for eligibility.
Schlupp missed Palace’s stunning 1-0 upset of Manchester City in the final due to his February loan move to Celtic.
But his contributions earlier in the tournament were enough to see him share in the glory of the club’s historic triumph.
While on loan in Scotland, Schlupp added further silverware by helping Celtic clinch the Scottish Premiership title, underlining his trademark versatility across both midfield and defensive roles.
The rare dual-medal feat in a single season has been widely celebrated by fans across social media while Schlupp himself shared photos of his FA Cup medal on Instagram with evident pride.
A Crystal Palace mainstay since 2017, Schlupp now sets his sights on more success, with Celtic poised for the Scottish FA Cup final—a chance for the seasoned campaigner to end the year with a treble of honors.
