Celtic won the match 1–0, with a goal by Pierre van Hooijdonk who headed in after a cross from the left by Tosh McKinlay.[1] This would prove to be the last occasion that the original Airdrieonians reached the final, with the club folding in 2002. Celtic's victory secured the club's first major trophy in six years - the last honour having been won in the 1989 Scottish Cup Final against Rangers - and ended one of the most unsuccessful periods in their history.
