[Gary67]

Live on BBC1 Scotland and Premier Sports 2

Ref - Steven McLean VAR - Matthew MacDermid

Going for the Double on the last game of an eventful 2025/26 season.

MON will probably go with his tried and trusted starting 11 that got us over the line in the league.

Was at Dunfermline's last game against Thistle on Friday night, some good young players but they were starting to look as if the long season was catching up with them physically.
I'll go for the ever popular 3-1 win with Daizen signing off with another Hampden goal.

Celtic 4 Dunfermline 0. Scorers Daizen, Benjy, Callum Osmand, and Kalechi. A fitting end to the season with two former managers and legends alongside each other on the sidelines. COYBIG

The Boss v his apprentice on Saturday in the final chapter of this crazy season...

I'd imagine M@S aint going to start with the team and formation that broke the hearts of hearts and it'll be a starting 433..

But after his praise for Saracchi I wonder if he'll get the nod over KT ...

Anyhoo from my seat in the main stand I expect to see..

Tony Austin Liam KT

Arne Cal Benny..

Yang Daizen Seb...

3 nil Celtic...Daizen Benny and Kel..

[Imatim]

Let’s score early and score often…and make mine a double…

 

[Jinkybhoy]

This probably wont very popular however I would quite happily let The Pars have the trophy.

A wee thank you to Lenny for all the years he has given to The Bhoys while at the same time leaving The Huns with a place in The Conference League to think about.

 

[The Shamrock]

This is the one game I think we'll manage a clean sheet. 3-0 the Bhoys.

Anybody running on to the pitch at the end needs a boot in the baws.

Depends Shammy, if it’s Dunfermline fans celebrating a last minute winner there will be “wonderful scenes, an outpouring of emotional joy, these fans deserve this moment”
If it’s Celtic fans……

Good shout Richy......and of course if anybody comes on and attacks Neil Lennon that will be acceptable as well ........he probably brought it on himself

 

[DILLIGAF]

or an old divers boot

Aye, Johnny Divers...there's a blast from the past. Or as we say in the true north...a kick in the baws wi' a frozen moccasin. Mon the Celts

 

[Magnificent 7]

We have lost the last two cup finals so we first and foremost need to put that right.

A big day for these young par boys so they will give it everything.
Nothing is certain so we need to earn the right to win it and not get too complacent.

I'll be happy if at the end of the game with any result that puts our name on the cup.

Just win Celtic any which way we can.

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

Oh no. It is too late. Dunfermline have already won the cup.

 

[TTQtKK⚠️]

Really looking forward to this game at the weekend. Like always I'll take absolutely nothing for granted, Lenny will have his team well up for their own possible moment in history. I seen someone on here earlier saying they don't mind if Dunfermline win this for NFL. I am nowhere near agreeing with that but...now that we've won this league title it's fair to say my stress levels have dropped significantly meaning there should be no need to batter the hula hoops* on Saturday afternoon.

*There's none left, I don't really need any excuses to be a gannet!

 

[Imatim]

Anyone else sensing we’re losing a wee bit of our focus on the cup final here. Tell me it isn’t so…
