Celtic have snagged the Double by beating the Pars 3-1 in the SFA Cup Final — reports: celticfc.net [free registration required], BBC News, Google News UK.
After a fright near the end of the first half when Andrius Skerla headed in a lovely ball to the back of the net, and a strange decision to disallow a Celtic goal earlier in the half, Henrik Larsson stuck two away in the second half in his last competitive game for Celtic. Stelian Petrov scored a cracking goal just before 85 minutes to secure the Cup for the Celts. I thought Dunfermline played really well, they just got tired against the tremendously fit Celts — you could see it in Stevie Crawford’s face and body when he made an attempt at a goal near the end of the game — and Jimmy Calderwood should be proud of his team.

Martin O’Neill and the rest of us just need to figure out what it will be like next year onwards without Henke!
There was no way I was going to get tickets for Henke’s testimonial match against Seville on Tuesday night, so I’m going to settle for the PPV screening on Setanta, which a few of us are chipping in for (although it’s only £7.99, which ain’t that bad).
