The Celtic captain has led his team to victory in every cup final and semi-final he has comPeted in at Hampden, further cementing his legacy as a crucial player for the club.

In the latest triumph, Celtic secured the Scottish Cup in a dramatic Glasgow Derby final against Rangers, with Adam Idah playing the role of the hero.

The on-loan Norwich striker, introduced as a substitute, seized a critical opportunity in the 90th minute, exploiting a mistake by Rangers’ goalkeeper Jack Butland.

Butland’s failure to securely handle Paulo Bernardo’s shot allowed Idah to score from the rebound, sparking jubilation among the Celtic supporters.

Abdallah Sima thought he had broken the deadlock for Rangers. His celebration was cut short as VAR intervened, disallowing the goal due to a foul on Celtic’s goalkeeper Joe Hart. This decision kept the match level and ultimately set the stage for Idah’s late-Game heroics.

Celtic’s victory underlines their dominance in Scottish Football this season, achieving a league and cup double. The triumph at Hampden Park was a fitting conclusion to a campaign marked by resilience, with McGregor at the helm providing leadership and stability. As Celtic celebrate their continued success, Rangers are left to reflect on what might have been, setting the stage for another fierce rivalry next season.
