Martin O'Neill's Celtic take on Neil Lennon's Dunfermline Athletic in Saturday's Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park. The Bhoys enter as favorites after reaching the final last season, while the Pars secured their place with a remarkable run that saw them knock out three Premiership sides.

Celtic's path included dramatic comebacks against Dundee and Rangers. Junior Adamu's 97th-minute equalizer on debut against Dundee kept their hopes alive, before Sebastian Tounekti scored the winner in extra time. A penalty shootout victory over Rangers at Ibrox followed, despite managing just one shot in 120 minutes. Their semi-final against St Mirren saw four goals in six minutes seal a 4-2 triumph.

Dunfermline's journey has been equally compelling. Chris Kane's brace dispatched Queen of the South, while an own goal from Hibernian's Miguel Chaiwa proved decisive. Matty Todd and Olly Thomas's goals secured a 3-0 win over Aberdeen, and Falkirk were beaten 4-2 on penalties after 120 goalless minutes. Lennon insists his side won't be overawed despite being underdogs.

O'Neill praised Lennon's managerial record ahead of the clash, calling it 'extraordinary' after the former Celtic boss knocked out three top-flight teams. Both managers know exactly what this trophy means for their respective clubs' histories.
