Craig Gordon

A quite superb save denied Graeme Shinnie a goal, diving full stretch to keep the score at 1-1, which was his big say in the cup final win.

His kicking game went from great to ‘what are you doing’ but he kept play going and was comfortable under the high ball and then, right at the death, made no mistake with Aberdeen's last chance. 7

Mikael Lustig

Could not get forward because he couldn’t take his eye of Niall McGinn but then really came into the game when the Aberdeen winger was taken off. Almost scored and spent the last 20 minutes attacking to great effect. 7

Dedryck Boyata

Was more than a bit ruffled under the high ball and at set-pieces in the first-half but settled down a bit. Was still not at his best but got the job done. Should have scored with a diving header on 70 minutes. 7

Jozo Simunovic

Great coming out of defence and was the pick of Celtic's defenders when Aberdeen got forward. The big guy can pick a pass as well and got better and more influential as the game went on. 7

Kieran Tierney

What a sad way for him to end a wonderful season. The teenager had been comfortable on the ball and his passing was causing some problems until Jayden Stockley’s stray elbow finished him on 25 minutes. 5

Scott Brown

Lost his cool for a bit when Tierney went off and didn't have it all his own way against Kenny McLean for spells; however, once the captain found his rhythm he started to boss things. He did commit many, many fouls. 8

Stuart Armstrong

What a strike a minute or so after Aberdeen’s goal, with his left foot straight into bottom corner. He ridiculed Shane Logan in a move which almost brought him a second and was as strong at the end as he was at the start. What a season he had. 8

Patrick Roberts

Endured a frustrating first-half in which even he couldn’t find space on that huge pitch. Got a lot more into after the break, a nice turn and shot was close and then hit the post after a wonderful solo effort. Then was unplayable. 7.5

Callum McGregor

His run and pass led to Armstrong’s goal and he was doing really well in the No10 position until Tierney’s injury meant he had to go to left-back. A mistake almost cost a goal but acquitted himself really well. 6

Scott Sinclair

It actually wasn't particularly the player of the year's day. He missed three good chances but what has to be said for the Englishman is he always looked for the ball and was constantly involved. A brilliant pass almost got Griffiths a goal.7

Leigh Griffiths

Lost Hayes for the first goal but went on too have a game in which he really deserved a goal. Joe Lewis was his nemesis more than once but his all-round play was superb. He put in some shift. 7

Substitutes

Tom Rogic

What can you say? He had good and bad moments until he scored one of the the great Scottish Cup Final goals. He will go down in Celtic history. 8
