National team striker Yang Hyun-jun (24) reached the summit of the Scottish Cup, achieving the feat of a 'domestic double' (winning two major domestic titles) this season.

Celtic FC defeated Dunfermline Athletic 3-1 in the 2025-2026 Scottish Cup final held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland, on the 23rd (local time).

Celtic FC, reclaiming the tournament title for the first time in two years, lifted their 43rd trophy overall, continuing the record for the most in history. Having already secured the Scottish Premiership (regular league) title, Celtic FC added this cup trophy to conclude the 2025-2026 season with a flourish.

Starting in the lineup, Yang Hyun-jun played on the field for about 76 minutes until he was substituted. Although he did not record an attacking point, he contributed to the team's victory with active movement.

Celtic FC took control early with a first goal by Maeda Daizen in the 18th minute of the first half. Then, an additional goal by Arne Engels in the 35th minute of the first half extended the lead to 2-0.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Kelechi Iheanacho scored a decisive goal, effectively sealing the match. Dunfermline managed to pull one back in the 34th minute of the second half through Josh Cooper.

Yang Hyun-jun's performance this season was outstanding. He made 47 appearances in official matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 3 assists, establishing himself as a key attacking player for the team. Since joining Celtic FC in July 2023, Yang Hyun-jun has already lifted his fifth trophy.

Having successfully concluded the season, Yang Hyun-jun now turns his focus to preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. He is scheduled to join the South Korean national football team, which is currently conducting a pre-camp in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
