Last-gasp Adam Idah strike earns Celtic Scottish Cup triumph over rivals and completes double

Celtic defeated Rangers 1-0 in a tense Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday, thanks to a 90th-minute winner from Adam Idah, as Brendan Rodgers' side completed the league and cup double.

The game was far from a classic and appeared to be heading for extra time until Idah, who had joined the club on loan from Norwich City earlier this year, scored and gave Celtic their record-extending 42nd Scottish Cup victory.

Celtic scored after Paulo Bernardo dribbled into the final third and fired from the edge of the box, which keeper Jack Butland palmed away, but Idah had peeled away from his marker to score the rebound.

"I said I'd come here to try and score as many goals as I could, I didn't think I'd score a goal like this in front of all these fans. It's an amazing feeling," Idah told BBC Scotland.

"It's hard to put into words. Anyone here can see what it means to the fans, to the players. I've always supported Celtic, it's amazing."

Rangers, meanwhile, finished second in both the Premiership and the Scottish Cup this season, but did not go home empty-handed, winning the League Cup.

Rangers thought they had scored from a corner on the hour mark when Abdallah Sima scored at the far post, but it was ruled out after a VAR review revealed Nicolas Raskin fouled Celtic keeper Joe Hart.

When Idah was asked about his future, the 23-year-old said: "Football is tricky. I love it here, I've said it previously, it's a great club but I'm still contracted to Norwich. I'll go back in the summer and who knows?"
