🏆 Celtic reach Scottish Cup final after shootout win over Aberdeen | OneFootball

Celtic booked their place in the Scottish Cup final after a memorable showdown with Aberdeen which was settled on penalties.

Scorers: Miovski 2′, Sokler 90′, MacDonald 117′; Kühn 21′, Forrest 63′, O’Riley 105+1′

Bojan Miovski opened the scoring inside just two minutes by latching onto a through ball from Leighton Clarkson before firing past Joe Hart.

Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn pulled the Scottish champions level with a clinical strike after Kyogo Furuhashi seized on a mistake by Angus MacDonald.

Brendan Rodgers’ side took the lead shortly after the hour mark through substitute James Forrest squeezing a shot home from the edge of the penalty area.

The Dons snatched a late equaliser through Ester Solker meeting Junior Hoilett’s floated cross to the far post with a well-taken header.

On the stroke of the extra-time interval, Matt O’Riley fired the Bhoys ahead with a shot into the roof of the net from Alistair Johnston’s cutback.

There was one final twist in the tale as MacDonald pulled his side level for a second time with an identical far-post effort to Solker’s in normal time.

In the shootout, Ryan Duncan and Joe Hart both crashed efforts against the post before Killian Phillips’ miss settled matters at sudden death.

Celtic will return to Hampden Park on 26 May to take on the winner of Sunday’s other semi-final between Rangers and Hearts,
