And there you have it, Celtic are the 2023 Women's Scottish Cup winners.

It means that each of the big three end the season with a trophy apiece, with Glasgow City champions once again, while Rangers lifted the League Cup.

In a season where the trio have battled with such ferocity, forcing each other into becoming the very best versions of themselves, all of them having something to celebrate seems fitting.

What an incredible, engrossing and historic season for women's football in Scotland. New records broken, new ground covered, news fans reached. Here's hoping the rise doesn't stop any time soon.

Cheers for your company, and enjoy what's left of your sunny Sunday.

A word for Malky Thomson.

He may not have got the dream farewell he was hoping as he leaves Rangers Women to return to his academy role.

A first-ever SWPL title and a League Cup in the trophy room, as well as a foray into Europe. His replacement has their work cut out!

And here's some poignant words from the woman who lifted the trophy.

Celtic Captain Kelly Clark tells BBC Scotland: It's a dream come true. I've watched Celtic Men do that so many times in my 10 years at Celtic. To do it, and be down in history with such a special group of players, it just feels amazing.

It's amazing that it includes a crowd with lots and lots of little girls, who can see what they can do in Scotland. This year, for women's football has been unbelievable and I hope it just keeps going and going.

This is genuinely what dreams are made of. To be honest, as a kid, I probably didn't dream this because it was just so far from reality. But now that it is reality, I'm just delighted.

If you missed it, here's then moment Celtic lifted the Scottish Cup for the second year in a row.

Marks out of 10?

Those Celtic fans have partied down that end of Hampden before.

They're celebrating in signature style, but this time, it's all about the girls in green.

Evidently, a special bond between support and players has been crafted in recent years, shown with record attendances in recent weeks.

Celtic manager Fran Alonso tells BBC Scotland: "I'm absolutely delighted. What we've done this year with women's football in Scotland is incredible. Three years ago, I couldn't believe this.

"Obviously I'm biased, but it would have been unfair of those girls didn't have silverware. I couldn't be any more proud. They get the silverware that they deserved. I can't wait to celebrate with our fans, our family.

"You can't imagine how hurt we were [missing out on title last weekend]. We were two minutes away from achieving our dream. Wednesday wasn't the best training session. You could see heads dropped. From Thursday, it was in the past.

"Now we have back-to-back Scottish Cups. It's incredible."

I'm sure the girls would like to have given Malky Thomson a trophy on his way out.

Nobody likes to be on the losing team, but Rangers can hold their head high.

Natasha Flint and Hampden goals, quite the pair.

Two in two for the Celtic striker. Here's the moment she sent Celtic on their way to Scottish Cup glory.

An emotional, passionate and jubilant trophy lift from those Celtic players.

The Scottish Cup once again wears green.

First goalscorer Natasha Flint tells BBC Scotland: "It's always good to get on the scoresheet, but it's such a big game today. I've got all my family in the crowd, around 20 of them. All the girls deserve it. We deserve this win.

"He [Alonso] was positive. He's always positive. He did say at half-time we had more gears in us, and that's what we did second half.

"I don't know what words to say about the fans. They're unbelievable. Before coming here, I didn't know there was a team like it. The fans are ridiculous week in, week out for us. We couldn't do it without them."

And here's her goal that sealed the cup for Celtic.

Cracking header from the defender.

Player of the Match Claire O'Riordan tells BBC Scotland: "I'm just proud. Proud of the team and of the coaching staff. We worked really hard for it and I'm very humbled.

"It's a special occasion playing in the national stadium here in Scotland. The fans, they love it. We love it!

"Especially in the last couple of weeks, we've seen the crowd behind us massively. It's about them. Really what we've done today is reward them with another trophy for the club.

Celtic win the Scottish Cup for the second year in a row!

In a game of little quality, Celtic's set piece prowess was the difference as Natasha Flint knocked in the opener before Claire O'Riordan looped in a second.

Rangers thought they had a lifeline when Laura Berry found the back of the net, but VAR ruled off her goal in an incredible tight offside decision.

Big goal aside, it's been a commanding defensive display from Claire O'Riordan.

She's Leanne Crichton's player of the match!

Triple change for Celtic as goalscorer Natasha Flint bows out alongside Jacynta and Shen Menglu.

On come Claire Goldie, Tegan Bowie and Liv Fergusson.

Earlier, Megan Bell replaced Kirsty Howat for Rangers.

What a tough one to take for the 15-year-old.

'I scored at Hampden yesterday' would be the ultimate brag on the walk to school the morn.

No, she's not. That's so, so tight.

VAR rules Laura Berry to be marginally offside and her goal is chopped off.

Celtic still have their two goal lead.
