Celtic defeats Dunfermline 3-1 to win the Scottish Cup

Celtic secured the Scottish Cup title by defeating Dunfermline 3-1 in the final, marking their 43rd victory in the competition's history. This win completes a domestic double for the club, as they had already clinched the league title the previous week. Daizen Maeda opened the scoring for Celtic, followed by a long-range goal from Arne Engels. Kelechi Iheanacho added a third goal in the second half. Dunfermline, managed by former Celtic player and manager Neil Lennon, scored a consolation goal through Josh Cooper in the 79th minute. There are slight discrepancies between reports regarding the exact timing of the goals and the specific player involved in the opening sequence, with one source crediting Maeda and another mentioning a lob from a player identified as Baena following a pass from Johnston. The match showcased Celtic's dominance, despite Dunfermline's attempt to respond late in the game.
