Celtic sweep Dunfermline aside to win Scottish Cup and clinch dream double

Daily Record Daily Record — 1min

Martin O’Neill guided Celtic to the double as the Scottish champions beat Dunfermline 3-1 in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup final.

Daizen Maeda and Arne Engels netted in a one-sided first half before Neil Lennon’s team made a game of it after the interval.

Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho appeared to put the game beyond the William Hill Championship side in the 73rd minute before Josh Cooper pulled one back six minutes later.

It was a ninth consecutive win for Celtic, who have timed their best run of form perfectly after being galvanised by O’Neill for the second time this season.

The 74-year-old now has nine major honours as a Celtic manager stretching over 26 years and, if it is his final game in management, it was a fitting end as he capped a triumphant return to Glasgow against his former Leicester and Hoops midfielder Lennon.
