Neil Lennon, Dunfermline Athletic, Celtic
21 May 2026
Neil Lennon warned Celtic not to treat Dunfermline Athletic as a soft opponent before the Scottish Cup final. He said talk around Martin O’Neill lifting another trophy had been disrespectful and gave his side extra motivation.
Dunfermline reached Hampden after beating Hibernian, Aberdeen and Falkirk, creating belief inside Lennon’s squad. Zak Rudden is expected to return from injury, while Aston Oxborough is also available after being recalled from Motherwell.
