With a 3-1 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park, Celtic completed the domestic treble.
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of the Hoops, was the subject of growing rumors that Tottenham was interested in hiring him. Kyogo Furuhashi once more played a key role in this.
In the 38th minute of an unremarkable first half, the Japan striker scored for the 34th time this year, undoing Billy Dodds' rank outsiders' early progress.
The Championship team, which hadn't participated in a match for a month, increased their deficit when Liel Abada, a halftime substitute for Hoops, sneaked in a second goal in the 65th minute.
With five minutes left, Caley's substitute Dan MacKay scored a goal, but as the game entered extra time, Portuguese winger Jota restored Celtic's two-goal lead.
Celtic has now won the League, League Cup, and Scottish Cup eight times in a row, a global record. Now that Postecoglou has become the sixth Parkhead manager to capture the treble, attention is turning to what the future holds for him.
In spite of ongoing rumors over Ange Postecoglou's future as Celtic manager, Carl Starfelt feels that he has made "very big steps" under his guidance.
The connection between the former Australia manager and Tottenham served as the backdrop to the Hoops' 3-1 Scottish Cup final victory over Championship side Inverness at Hampden Park on Saturday.
Dan MacKay's header was only a consolation as the Parkhead club achieved their eighth domestic triple, a world record, thanks to goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Liel Abada, and Jota.
fan favorite Starfelt, who stated that he had no idea what his manager meant to do, has enjoyed his growth as a player in that time since Postecoglou's arrival at Parkhead in June 2021, when he brought the Sweden center-back from Rubin Kazan.
Naturally, he brought me here, he said. He trusted me greatly because I was one of his first signings.
