Celtic defeated Dunfermline 1-0 owing to a late goal by Jean-Joel Perrier-Doumbe in front of 50,000 people at Hampden Park in the Scottish Cup final. Having won the Scottish Premier League already, Celtic ensured that they won a domestic double. They had earlier been knocked out in the first knockout round of the Champions League by champions AC Milan.
It was Perrier-Doumbe's first goal for his side, and it came at the 85th minute of normal time. Dunfermline had earlier been relegated, and were desperate to end a 40-year-old wait for the Scottish Cup. Neil Lennon, Celtic captain, ended his career on a high by lifting the trophy.
Celtic manager Stratchan felt that they deserved the win.
