Those teams: Martin O’Neill makes one change to the side that beat Hearts last weekend, with James Forrest coming into midfield in place of Sebastian Tounekti, who starts on the bench. The 34-year-old winger could win the Scottish Cup for the ninth time with Celtic this afternoon.

Aston Boxborough starts in goal for Dunfermline, with Billy Terrell among the substitutes following last weekend’s playoff sem-final defeat at the hands of Partick. Neil Lennon also hands starts to Andy Todd (who lines up alongside his brother Matty) and Tashan Oakley-Boothe. In an extremely Tod(d)-heavy line-up, John Tod also starts for the Pars.

Early team news

Long-term absentees Kasper Schmeichel and Cameron Carter-Vickers remain sidelined for Celtic, who emerged from last weekend’s dramatic title-decider against Hearts with a clean bill of health.

Dunfermline striker Zak Rudden is available for selection after three months out with a shoulder injury he sustained in an earlier round of the Cup, a Fife derby against Kelty Hearts. Goalkeeper Aston Oxborough has returned on loan from Motherwell after being briefly recalled by his parent club. The Pars are without the Irish duo of Graham Carey and Freddie Turley, while striker Olly Thomas and centre-back Ewan Otoo are also unavailable through injury.

Scottish Cup final: Celtic v Dunfermline Athletic

Master and apprentice will stand in adjacent technical areas this afternoon as Martin O’Neill and Neil Lennon prepare to lead Celtic and Dunfermline out at Hampden Park for the Scottish Cup final. A Championship side whose hopes of promotion ended in playoff semi-final defeat last week, Dunfermline Athletic arrive at Hampden Park hoping to win their first major trophy since 1968. The Scottish Premiership champions pitch up hoping to win their first silverware since this day last week.

Having spent the best part of 10 years of his career as O’Neill midfield lieutenant at Leicester City and Celtic before taking the reins at Celtic Park himself in 2010, Lennon has been in charge of the Pars for 14 months. He has bristled at descriptions of him as O’Neill’s apprentice, pointing out that at 54, he’s a bit old to fit that particular bill but admitted today’s occasion will “be surreal considering how long I’ve known [Martin], what he’s done for my career and what influence he’s had on me”.

Celtic are overwhelming favourties, Dunfermline will be hoping to upset the odds and kick-off in Glasgow is at 3pm (BST). We’ll have team news and build-up and the meantime.
