With one team chasing a domestic treble and the other aiming for an almighty shock, Saturday's Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle has several angles of intrigue.
And one fascinating element is whether the Hampden showpiece will bring an end to Ange Postecoglou's Celtic tenure, with the Australian being heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
Postecoglou has done his best not to be drawn on the issue but, one way or another, Saturday's game will make headlines.
Celtic have the League Cup and Premiership trophies already in the cabinet and victory on Saturday could bring the club their fifth treble in seven years and eighth overall.
But Inverness have ambitions too, with Billy Dodds' side trying to secure their second Scottish Cup in eight years and repeat previous cup feats against the Glasgow giants.

Postecoglou targets the one that got away
Celtic and Postecoglou were bidding for a domestic clean sweep last season until Rangers triumphed in extra time of the Old Firm semi-final. But defeating Rangers in the last four has given Celtic the chance to go one better this season.
The League Cup was retained in February, with the Premiership title secured three months later.
As things stand, Celtic and Rangers have each won the treble seven times. Celtic can nudge themselves in front with victory on Saturday and further increase their national record of 40 Scottish Cups.
It would also be Celtic's 115th major domestic honour.
