Roberts, who is in his second season on loan at Celtic Park, played the first 65 minutes as Celtic ran out 3-0 winners over Aberdeen to lift the trophy at a capacity Hampden Park.
The England youth international started on the right wing for Brendan Rodgers’ side and proved a thorn in Aberdeen’s side as they struggled to contain the Bhoys.
Elsewhere, it was something of a breakthrough weekend for Oleksandr Zinchenko at PSV Eindhoven as he played the full 90 minutes and starred as the Dutch champions beat ADO Den Haag 3-1.
Playing in a creative midfield role, the Ukraine international even assisted the third goal with an excellently weighted pass for striker Luuk De Jong.
The FC Twente trio of Enes Unal, Bersant Celina and Yaw Yeboah fell to a 3-2 defeat at NEC Nijmegen though Unal scored for the Enschede side.
The Turkish striker reacted quickest after the ball rebounded in the box but it wasn’t enough to inspire his side to victory.
