Final proves one mountain too many for Lennon's Dunfermline
"Bedraggled" is how former player Ian McCall described Dunfermline Athletic in the first half of this Scottish Cup final. The Championship side were "pulled all over the shop" by a hungry Celtic in the opening 45 minutes and went into the interval two goals down and with their Hampden hopes already all but gone. There was a genuine fear things could get ugly for Neil Lennon and his side but a half-time cajoling - rather than a scolding - and a bold triple substitution paved the route for an unforeseen response and respectable showing.
