Oliver Burke a doubt for Scottish Cup final
On-loan Celtic forward Oliver Burke is a doubt for the Hoops’ final game of the season against Hearts this weekend, according to senior reporter Alison Conroy, cited by 67 Hail Hail.
The Hoops came out on top against Craig Levein’s side 2-1 on Sunday in a dress rehearsal of the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.
Burke started the game for Celtic in a lone striker role, however, the Scottish international struggled and was substituted at half-time for 16-year-old Karamoko Dembele.
Demebele impressed on his Hoops debut, with Mikey Johnston netting twice for Neil Lennon’s side in their final league game of the campaign.
However, according to Conroy, Lennon admitted after the game and title-winning trophy celebrations that Burke is a doubt for Saturday with a knee problem.

Will Celtic complete the 'treble treble'?
Yes
No
The 22-year-old has struggled during his loan spell from West Brom, scoring just four times in his 19 appearances.
A win for Celtic on Saturday would complete a historic domestic ‘treble treble’.
