Before the match, Glasgow club asked for permission for all players to wear jerseys marked with number 7 in honor of the legendary player Jimmy Johnstone, who passed away. Although the game did not repeat the scenario of last month's match between the teams, when Celtic defeated Dunfermline 8-1, the prestigious club dominated the match and did not allow the opponents to do anything.
It's true that Glasgow's team struggled to score for a while, but in the 43rd minute, they managed to do so thanks to a mistake by Dunfermline goalkeeper Allan McGregor, who lost the ball and allowed Maciej Zurawski to send it into the net. In the 76th minute, Celtic doubled their lead with a great penalty kick from Shaun Maloney, and at the end of the match, Dion Dublin sealed the victory by scoring the third goal.
Celtic won in front of 50 thousand spectators and awarded coach Gordon Strachan with his first trophy at the club. Meanwhile, the second trophy is likely to be the Scottish champion's title, as Celtic currently leads the league comfortably, surpassing the closest rivals by 14 points and having played one game less.
