Celtic reach Scottish Cup final

Celtic reach Scottish Cup final

The semi-final at Hampden Park was an eventful affair, with Celtic eventually overwhelming their opponents in a clinical extra-time blitz.

A horror mistake by St Mirren's stand-in goalkeeper Ryan Mullen opened the floodgates for the Hoops, who scored four goals in the additional period.

Martin O'Neill, serving as interim manager, has revitalized the squad and is now on the verge of a historic achievement.

The final will see O'Neill face off against his former captain Neil Lennon, who manages Dunfermline, adding a layer of personal intrigue to the upcoming clash.
