Celtic retain the Scottish Cup following dramatic win over rivals Rangers
Adam Idah's late strike secures a 1-0 victory for the Hoops at Hampden Park
The win completes a domestic double for Celtic, who also won the Scottish Premiership title this season
Celtic beat Rangers 1-0 in a cagey Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday with a 90th-minute winner from Adam Idah. The Hoops had the better of the chances throughout the game, but it was Rangers who came closest to scoring when Alfredo Morelos hit the post in the first half.
Celtic finally broke the deadlock in the 90th minute when Idah latched onto a pass from Liel Abada and slotted the ball past Allan McGregor. The win completes a domestic double for Celtic, who also won the Scottish Premiership title this season.
It was a disappointing end to the season for Rangers, who had been hoping to win their first Scottish Cup since 2009. However, they can still be proud of their performance this season, which saw them finish second in the league and reach the final of both domestic cups.
Celtic's win is a major boost for manager Ange Postecoglou, who has now won two trophies in his first season in charge of the club. The Hoops will be hoping to build on this success next season and challenge for the Champions League.
ConclusionCeltic's victory in the Scottish Cup final was a fitting end to a successful season for the Hoops. The win secures a domestic double for the club and gives them a major boost ahead of next season. Rangers will be disappointed to have lost the final, but they can still be proud of their performance this season. The two Glasgow giants are likely to be the main challengers for the Scottish Premiership title next season, and it promises to be another exciting campaign.
