Legendary Celtic boss joins BBC Scottish Cup Final punditry team for quadruple Treble decider against Hearts

Former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill will be on punditry duties for the BBC on Sunday as he covers Celtic vs Hearts in the Scottish Cup Final.

He will be joined at Hampden by Scotland women's team manager Shelly Kerr as they give their expert insight into events on the pitch.

The Irishman won seven trophies, including three Scottish Cups during his five year spell in Glasgow.

O'Neill is a popular and experienced TV operator who famously destroyed Fabio Cannavaro and Patrick Vieira during live coverage of the 2014 World Cup in a moment that has become a viral hit.

O’Neill said: “Funnily enough Fabio wasn’t terribly sure that I did play the game, I had to remind him of that.

“Despite the fact that there are two World Cup winners here, actually when it comes to the Champions League, which used to be the European Cup, I’ve won two of them.

"I’d just like to know, how many have you two have won?”

The silence was deafening as neither star had won famous trophy despite stellar careers.

Coverage will kick off on BBC One Scotland at 13:15 with Liam McLeod commentating alongside former Aberdeen, Rangers and Dundee United striker Billy Dodds.

Richard Gordon will host the Beeb's radio coverage with Pat Bonner and Neil McCann on hand for their analysis of the action.
