Following last weekend's dramatic Premier League win over Hearts, Celtic ended the season on a high note. At the Scottish Cup final, the team, under the supervision of time coach Martin O'Neill, easily defeated the representative of the Championship - Dunfermline Athletic, coached by Neil Lennon.

In the early stages the game was evenly contested, and outsiders had little chance of opening the rakhunok. After a misunderstanding between Alistair Johnston and goalkeeper William Sinisal, Dunfermline player Callum Morrison fired into an empty goal, but Celtic goalkeeper Liam Scales heroically knocked the ball away.

After this episode, Celtic completely took control of the group. The share of the trophy was determined by the individual mastery of the Glaswegians: Dunfermline's treasurer John Tod had mercy upon accepting the new transfer.

Daizen Maeda quickly knocked the ball over goalkeeper Aston Oxborough. For the Japanese, this goal became his ninth in seven remaining matches, and it may well be his farewell goal for the Celtic footballer. Even before the break in the growth of rootstocks Arne Engels. Such an accurate and forceful strike from between the penalty area did not deprive the goalkeeper of the super teams.

In the other half, after a goal ruled offside, Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho still achieved his. Having made a brilliant solo pass, tightened up the opponent's defense at the penalty area, and increased the rakhunok to a devastating.

Neil Lennon's teammates were able to beat Josh Cooper with a dead ball, which resulted in an accurate strike from the first shot at the end of the game.

This victory was a clear confirmation of Celtic hegemony in Scotland. The club’s statistics are disappointing: this is already the 63rd Scottish Cup in its history. Moreover, the Celts won 7 of the remaining 10 games in this tournament.

Celtic - Dunfermline 3:1 Scorers: Maeda 19, Engels 36, Ihenacho 73 - Cooper 80.
