David Potter on Celtic’s Scottish Cup Final wins from 2005 to 2020

CELTIC’S SCOTTISH CUP FINAL VICTORIES – Number 34…CELTIC 1-0 DUNFERMLINE – HAMPDEN, 26 MAY 2007 –  In what has to be described as a dreadfully poor game against already relegated Dunfermline Athletic, Celtic eventually crept over the line with a scrappy late goal from Cameroon International Jean Joel Perrier-Doumbe. It was Gordon Strachan’s first (and only) Scottish Cup as Manager, and it did complete a League and Cup double, and Celtic had now won the Scottish Cup for the 34th time.

The Celtic team was: Boruc, Perrier-Doumbe, McManus, Pressley, Naylor, Nakamura, Lennon (Caldwell), Hartley, McGeady, Miller (Beattie), Vennegoor of Hesselink.
