Celtic reach Scottish Cup final

Celtic reach Scottish Cup final

After a scrappy 90 minutes that ended in a stalemate, Celtic unleashed a six-goal blitz in extra time to overwhelm the Buddies.

A significant error by St Mirren's stand-in goalkeeper opened the floodgates, allowing Daizen Maeda and others to capitalize.

The victory keeps Celtic's hopes of a domestic double alive and provides a triumphant moment for interim manager Martin O'Neill.

St Mirren, despite a brave showing for much of the match, collapsed under the pressure of Celtic's relentless attacking force in the final stages.
