  1. Celtic make history - and manager offerpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    FT: Heart of Midlothian 1-2 Celtic

    So Celtic's history boys add to their already long list of honours.

    That's nine domestic trophies in a row, an unprecedented treble treble, and a 39th Scottish Cup triumph.

    Not only that, but it has resulted in Neil Lennon being offered the manager's job on a permanent basis - and his words suggest he will accept the role.

    Happy days for Celtic but a tale of what might have been for Hearts.

    Craig Levein's side put poor recent form behind them to give the cup holders a tough afternoon, taking the lead through Ryan Edwards before two Odsonne Edouard goals turned the game round for the Glasgow side.

    "The works already begun really. There will be changes obviously, but I don't want to change too much because it's been a really good transition between myself and Brendan."

    Hearts manager Craig Levein: "It was competitive. I thought we tried as hard as we could to win the match. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to do that either for ourselves or the supporters."

    Levein was pleased with his tactics, telling BBC Scotland: "It did work. We frustrated Celtic for long periods and we broke quickly when we regained possession.

    "We're playing against a good side and we did lose moments of concentration and in the match I think I could count them on one hand. We lost a couple of goals and that's ultimately what's cost us."

    FT: Heart of Midlothian 1-2 Celtic

    Hearts left-back Aaron Hickey is a perhaps surprise winner of your man of the match vote.

    The 16-year-old, now the youngest player ever to play in a Scottish Cup final, had a superb game, marking Scotland winger James Forrest out of the game.

    But Odsonne Edouard might feel aggrieved considering the Celtic striker's match-winning, treble-treble clinching double.

    FT: Heart of Midlothian 1-2 Celtic

    Scott Sinclair says he is more than happy to be staying with Celtic next year:

    “I’ve got another year left, I’m happy here, I love being here, living in Scotland and playing in front of these fans is unbelievable," the English winger, who came on as a substitute at Hampden, tells BBC Scotland.

    “We’ve had so much pressure going into this game to get the job done and words can’t describe how this feels, to get a treble treble.

    “Neil Lennon is Celtic through and through, you see his passion on the sideline, he’s taken over, done a great job - it’s out of every player’s hands now and we’ve done what we had to do: the treble treble.”
