Celtic will aim to secure another domestic double this weekend as they face second-tier side Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday (kick-off: 3pm).
Martin O’Neill’s men secured a fifth successive Scottish Premiership title last weekend with a dramatic late 3-1 win over Hearts at Parkhead, and now they’ll look to beat former manager Neil Lennon and his Pars side to secure a second trophy in the space of seven days.
It’ll be no easy task though, with Lennon’s side having already dumped out a trio of top-flight sides to reach the final of the competition, sealing wins over Hibs, last year’s winner Aberdeen and, lastly, Falkirk in the semi-final last month to book their place at the national stadium.

3. Freddie Turley - Dunfermline Athletic - OUT

Went back to parent club Derby County for intensive treatment, but has failed in his bid to return for the clash with Celtic, head coach Neil Lennon has confirmed. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
4. Kelechi Iheanacho - Celtic - RETURN TO STARTING XI?
Made a major difference when introduced from the bench in the 3-1 win over Hearts, and will be hoping he did enough to dislodge Sebastian Tounekti from the starting XI on, what could be, his final appearance for Celtic. | SNS Group
