Celtic secured a stunning fifth consecutive Scottish Premiership title last weekend, having come from behind to beat Hearts 3-1 on the final day and pip it to the trophy.

The Hoops now hold a record 56 league titles, having moved above Rangers in the rankings with their latest triumph.

However, their attention turns to winning a record-extending 43rd Scottish Cup this weekend.

Celtic has needed extra-time, and even penalties, in the past two rounds of the competition. It beat Rangers in a quarter-final shootout, before scoring four goals in six minutes in the first half of extra-time to beat St Mirren 6-2 in the final four.

O'Neill is confident his players can put the euphoria of last week's victory behind them as they aim to get their hands on another piece of silverware.

"It would be fantastic if we could do it," O'Neill said ahead of the final.

"It'll be a big challenge indeed. Dunfermline have already knocked out three Premiership teams along the way, so they deserve to be here.

"We've got to be right for the game, we've had a great couple of days, and it's been fantastic since Saturday evening. It's been really fantastic, but now it's total concentration on the game, which I believe the players, having come this far, will want to finish it.

"The players are really up for the game. There's a strong mood in the camp wanting to do it and not let people down, having come this far.

"The euphoria of last Saturday has definitely hung around for a few days, which you would expect."

Neil Lennon's Dunfermline fell at the play-off hurdle in its bid to be promoted from the Scottish Championship.

But it has beaten Hibernian, Aberdeen and Falkirk – on penalties in the semi-final – in order to reach the showpiece, where it is chasing its first title since 1967-1968, and third overall.

O'Neill could be taking charge of his last game at Celtic, having overseen two interim spells this season, and this could be a fitting end against a counterpart in Lennon, whom he knows well.

Although the 74-year-old O'Neill is not yet sure of his future, he is proud of what he has achieved with Celtic this term.

"The pleasing thing for me, if I truly reflect on it, is there is still a place in this game for older gentlemen," O'Neill said.

"Despite the tactics that are involved now in the game, I do believe someone with some sort of experience can still play a part in proceedings.

"When I first stepped in way back in October, that was my main concern. Not having managed for some time, there are different ways of playing the game.

"That was my concern, not about destroying anything I might have done 20-odd years ago, but being too old to be in this game. That is certainly a great sense of pride for me now."
