    The treble is the best thing you can do over a season in club football.

    I know first hand how hard it is to complete that feat. A lot of people thought it would be more comfortable against Inverness but they got the job done.

    A now it's Celtic's turn to get their hands on the cup.

    Callum McGregor has had plenty of practice over the years and he executes the lift perfectly. Textbook clean and jerk movement.

    Hampden goes bananas.

    Would say the majority of the Celtic support are applauding Inverness Caley Thistle as they go to collect their runners-up medals.

    Same can't be said for the match officials...

    Inverness Caley Thistle put up a decent enough fight but Celtic always had that change of gear. They're so dangerous going forward, absolutely relentless. They run out comfortable winners in the end.

    A treble is incredible for Ange Postecoglou, it finishes off a wonderful season for Celtic. It's job done.

    If this is farewell for Ange Postecoglou, what a way to go out.

    Five domestic trophies out of six. Some return for the Australian.

    The Celtic boss is embracing every single member of staff. He's on his 40th hug.

    FT: Celtic 3-1 Inverness CT

    Five trebles in the past seven seasons for Celtic.

    It's their eighth domestic clean sweep since the League Cup began in 1946-47 - and that puts them one ahead of Old Firm rivals Rangers now.

    Celtic have won the lot - again.

    The Scottish Cup joins the Premiership trophy and League Cup in the Celtic Park cabinet.

    They were a bit slow out of the blocks, but Kyogo Furuhashi made the breakthrough before half-time, with Liel Abada and Jota adding goals either side of a consolation header from Daniel MacKay.

    Inverness get one back, and that gives them hope. Then there's six minutes added on and they get even more hope.

    I think Billy Dodds will be a wee bit disappointed that Wallace Duffy didn't have a better idea of what was going on.

    And just like that, the wind is sucked right out Caley Thistle.

    There's at least three or four men in blue devastated on the turf. Meanwhile, Jota comes off to a deafening ovation.

    The treble is on the way.

    That is an outstanding cross from Liel Abada. Usually you'd see that flashed across but he stand it up to the back post, inch perfect.

    It's all about the run and cross. It's magnificent, and it's definitely game over now.

    Jota is still celebrating on his way off the pitch as Celtic stalwart James Forrest gets on for the remaining five minutes of stoppage time.

    That'll be that.

    Liel Abada sprints to the byline to stand up a teasing cross to the back post and Jota is totally unhurried as he takes the ball down on his chest and thumps a shot between two defenders.

    It's a brilliant goal. What a cross from Wallace Duffy.

    Daniel MacKay comes ghosting in with the header to put it past Joe Hart. It's all about the cross, though.

    I think Caley Thistle deserve the goal.
