  3. Sore one to take for Aberdeen - McInnespublished at 18:01 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes talking to BBC Scotland:

    "It was a huge effort from everyone, a real confident display from us for large parts of the game.

    "But we came here to win so obviously there is real disappointment.

    "Any injury-time goal going against you is a sore one to take and when it's a cup final it compounds it even more.

    "Little moments can be the difference and it maybe came down to that today.

    "We just ran out of legs, It was our 351st day since we reported back to pre-season training. The players have knocked their pan in.

    "There's no shame in finishing second to this Celtic team. My weekly budget for the whole squad will equate to one of their player's salaries

    "We rinse everything out of these boys. Their effort and application is second to none."

    And what about Aberdeen? There will be a few players from today's starting XI moving on, including Ryan Jack, Niall McGinn and maybe Ash Taylor.

    The most important thing for the Dons will be holding on to manager Derek McInnes.

  8. What next for Celtic?published at 17:35 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    FT: Celtic 2-1 Aberdeen

    We can safely assume that the one target missed by Brendan Rodgers was progress in the Champions League.

    That is going to be top of the manager's to-do list over the summer, which will mean a marquee signing or two.

    Bad news for the rest of Scottish football or is there any chance they will they take their eye off the ball domestically.

    An unbeaten treble is certainly a hard act to follow.

  9. 'A great day for the club' - Rodgerspublished at 17:30 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    Speaking to BBC Scotland, a delighted Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says: “I thought we deserved it. It was a very tough game. We just needed to stay calm and eventually the space will open up. That’s what happened and the only disappointment is we didn’t score more goals. It’s a great day for the club.

    “We ticked off six of our seven targets this season. It’s been a dream.

    “I was born into Celtic. It’s a huge privilege to manage Celtic. It was the right time for myself, the club and we’ve created an identity that we can hopefully build on.

    “I need a rest. Myself, the staff and the players, it’s been so intense. We need to get away and have a breather."

  10. Aberdeen run out of puffpublished at 17:26 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    FT: Celtic 2-1 Aberdeen

    As the Celtic celebrations continue at Hampden, spare a thought for Aberdeen. Runners-up in the league and both cup finals this season.

    The Dons gave Celtic a fright in the first half but just ran out steam and could not keep up their earlier levels of intensity and aggression. Poor Andrew Considine, a great servant to the club, could barely move as Tom Rogic raced past him to fire in the winning goal.
