Kelechi Iheanacho is targeting a Scottish Cup winners' medal to add to his Scottish Premiership title as Celtic prepare to face Dunfermline Athletic in Saturday's final at Hampden Park.

Celtic secured the Premiership crown last week with a 3-1 victory over Hearts at Paradise, and Iheanacho will hope to double his silverware haul before the season is out.

Iheanacho's role in the cup run

The Nigeria international has been integral to Celtic's Scottish Cup campaign, coming off the bench to net twice in a 6-2 semi-final demolition of St. Mirren. Those contributions have earned him genuine consideration for a starting place against Dunfermline Athletic on Saturday.

Despite a season interrupted by recurring hamstring problems, Iheanacho has delivered 8 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions — a return that has proven remarkably impactful. His match-winning performances against Kilmarnock on debut, Dundee, Hibernian, and Motherwell have directly earned Celtic 8 points in the Premiership.

The 29-year-old has also carved out a place in the club's history books, becoming the highest-scoring Nigerian player in Celtic's history. That achievement has only deepened the connection he has built with the supporters since arriving at the club.

Iheanacho joined Celtic on a free transfer last summer, signing a one-year contract with the option of an additional year. The former Manchester City and Leicester City forward has wasted no time in making his mark.

Celtic heavy favourites, but Dunfermline not without belief

Celtic head into the final in commanding form, having won their last 8 matches, and are overwhelming favourites to lift the trophy. Dunfermline Athletic, who compete in the lower divisions, saw their form dip towards the end of the season — winning only one of their last five games, including a 2-1 defeat to Partick Thistle in the second leg of their play-off semi-final.

However, Dunfermline Athletic will draw confidence from a cup run that has seen them eliminate Queen of the South, Hibernian, Kelty Hearts, Aberdeen, and Falkirk. That sequence of results demonstrates the Pars are capable of causing problems for higher-ranked opposition.

Celtic, for their part, know what it takes to win this competition under pressure — last season they beat Aberdeen 4-3 on penalties in the final to claim the trophy.
