Celtic left it late but somehow pipped Hearts to win the SPL title at Celtic Park last weekend. Daizen Maeda and then Callum Osmand made sure of the win with two late goals, leaving Derek McInnes's side heartbroken.
They now have a Scottish Cup final to look forward to, as Dunfermline stand in their way at Hampden Park. The Pars finished fourth in the Scottish Championship this season and are priced at 12/1 to beat Martin O'Neill's side.

Celtic vs Dunfermline: Scottish Cup Final preview
You'd be forgiven for thinking Celtic were going to roll over and let Hearts tickle their belly last weekend, so to speak.
O'Neill's side left it late, with Hearts only needing a draw to win their first SPL crown since 1960.
They looked on course when Lawrence Shankland opened the scoring just before the interval, but the Bhoys hit back by scoring three times to claim a fifth successive title.
All focus now turns to the Scottish Cup Final this weekend, as Celtic take on Championship side Dunfermline as the heavy favourites.
So far, they have beaten Auchinleck Talbot, Dundee, Rangers and St Mirren, with only the Pars now standing in their way.

What a story it has been for second-tier Dunfermline, who come into this cup final as the heavy underdogs.
Queen of the South, Hibernian, Kelty Hearts, Aberdeen and Falkirk have all fallen to Neil Lennon's side so far.
Lennon is looking to get one over his former employers, with whom he won four Scottish Cup crowns during his successful tenure as boss.
Dunfermline last won the Scottish Cup back in 1968, as they beat Hearts 3-1 at Hampden Park.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Celtic 4-0 Dunfermline
FourFourTwo can see nothing but a Celtic whitewash as they ease to victory to claim a domestic double.
