Celtic vs Dunfermline Athletic – Match preview and team news Celtic is set to face Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish FA Cup final on Saturday at Hampden Park.

Celtic vs Dunfermline Athletic – Match preview and team news Date: Saturday, 23rd May.
Kick-off: 3pm BST. Venue: Hampden Park. Celtic team news The most significant squad news involves Czech striker Tomas Cvancara, whose loan spell at Parkhead has come to an abrupt end following a severe groin injury.
In other news, after delivering a stellar performance off the bench in the recent 3-1 title-clinching victory over Hearts, Kelechi Iheanacho is heavily tipped to earn a spot in the starting XI. He will likely replace Sebastian Tounekti on the flank, joining Hyun Jun Yang and Daizen Maeda in a potent attacking trident. With captain Callum McGregor anchoring the midfield alongside Arne Engels, Celtic boasts a settled, high-energy core.
The squad remains highly motivated and fully focused on securing a domestic double at Hampden Park, although Celtic are still without Colby Donovan, Julian Araujo, Kasper Schmeichel, Adam Montgomery, Cameron Carter-Vickers, and Jota due to injury. Dunfermline Athletic team news Dunfermline Athletic manager Neil Lennon faces a mix of relief and disappointment regarding his matchday selection. In goal, the Pars received a major boost as Motherwell loanee Aston Oxborough returned to the club and is fully eligible to start, despite a brief emergency recall by his parent club last week.
