Celtic clinch 43rd Scottish Cup, complete domestic double under interim boss O’Neill

Celtic had already sealed the Scottish Premiership with a 3-1 win over Hearts on the final day of the season. Four days later they faced Dunfermline at Hampden Park, aiming to add the cup to their league triumph.

Daizen Maeda opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a lob over the stranded goalkeeper after a pass from Alistair Johnston. Arne Engels doubled the lead in the 36th minute with a powerful 25‑yard strike that left the keeper flat‑footed.

The 3-1 win gives Celtic its 14th league‑cup double in club history and raises O’Neill’s tally to nine major trophies over a 26‑year span with the club. The double also places Celtic among the most successful Scottish clubs in the modern era.
