"textContent": "\n\n\nCeltic have won the Scottish Cup after beating Dunfermline Athletic 3-1, to complete the domestic double.\n\nAfter winning the Scottish Premiership last week with victory against Hearts, Martin O'Neill's side followed it up by comfortably seeing off Dunfermline.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFormer Celtic boss Neil Lennon proved not to haunt his old side, as his Championship number could not match the dominance of the Hoops.\n\nGoals from Daizen Maeda, Arne Engels and Kelechi Ihenacho were enough for Celtic to win the Scottish Cup.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe victory means Celtic claim their 43rd Scottish Cup, having lost last year's final to Aberdeen.\n\nMaeda gave Celtic the lead with a fantastic looping effort over Aston Oxborough.\n\nThe Japanese, who has been in the form of his life as of late, spun in behind thanks to a long ball from full-back Alistair Johnston.\n\nMaeda leapt on John Tod's failure to clear the ball, lobbing Oxborough to get his ninth goal in his last seven games.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS\n\n\n\n\n * Bruno Fernandes named Premier League Player of the Season after stunning campaign with Red Devils\n * Emma Raducanu gives health update as tennis star prepares return to action\n * F1 star crashes into animal at nearly 100mph during Canadian Grand Prix\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nNot long after, it was two, as Engels hit a low strike past the Motherwell loanee in the Dunfermline net.\n\nThe Belgian, who had been busy throughout the proceedings in the first half, took a shot on from 25 yards out, leaving Oxborough stranded.\n\nThe midfielder used the defender to angle his shot, but Oxborough should have at least made a dive.\n\nIhenacho made it three in the second half with a beautiful finish, dancing through the Dunfermline defence.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBenjamin Nygren rolled the ball into the Nigerian, who shrugged off Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen, whose hand hit the ball on its way down.\n\nThe Celtic striker carried on, dancing his way past Oxborough before smashing home to send O'Neill's side on their way to another Scottish Cup.\n\nNeil Lennon, perched on his drinks cooler, looked gutted as his team continued to be torn apart.\n\nHe had something to smile about not long after Ihenacho's goal, as Dunfermline came driving forward up Celtic's right.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nChris Kane fed the ball through to Zak Rudden, who had his shot blocked before falling to 23-year-old Josh Cooper, who finished well after coming off the bench.\n\nCeltic saw out the contest to win the Scottish Cup final 3-1, as their fans celebrated in the sun.\n\nIt completes a remarkable season for the Hoops, who had a dismal start for their standards, but have O'Neill to thank for how he has transformed their campaign.\n\nLennon made an effort to recognise his efforts, raising O'Neill's arm in the air at full-time as a show of respect between the two managers.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
