Celtic progressed to the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Dundee at Celtic Park.

The Hoops were just seconds from elimination when Junior Adamu popped up with an equaliser on his debut with almost the last touch of the 90 minutes.

And then Sebastian Tounekti provided the all-important winner for Martin O’Neill’s side early in the first-half of extra-time.

Celtic started on the front foot in the match, taking the game to their opponents, and Reo Hatate had an effort in the eighth minute from outside the area that went wide of the target.

And four minutes later, Dundee goalkeeper, Jon McCracken did well to save another Hatate effort which was on target.

Dundee were trying to cause problems on the break and Simon Murray had a header from inside the area which went wide.

Kieran Tierney was next to try his luck with a shot from inside the area, but McCracken dealt with it well, while at the other end Viljami Sinisalo had to be alert to save a Luke Graham header.

Tomas Cvancara got on the end of a couple of Tierney crosses into the box, but wasn’t able to test the keeper, and it was goal-less at the break.

The second half saw Benjamin Nygren and James Forrest replace Paolo Bernardo and Joel Mvuka, but it was the visitors who grabbed the first goal of the game.

Ethan Hamilton latched on to the ball 25 yards from goal and strode inside before smashing an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the Celtic net.

Celtic pushed forward in search of an equaliser and Yang came close with a shot, but Dundee were defending resolutely while continuing to look dangerous on the break.

Kieran Tierney had an effort saved just after the hour mark, while both Callum McGregor and Tomas Cvancara had shots blocked by the Dundee defence.

Celtic continued to push forward but just when it looked as though Dundee would deliver a Scottish Cup upset, Martin O’Neill’s side grabbed an equaliser.

Sebastian Tounekti drove a low ball into a packed penalty area and Junior Adamu, on as a substitute, flicked the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-1 with what was almost the last kick of the 90 minutes

And Tounekti, having provided an assist, then put Celtic ahead in the second minute of extra-time, cutting in from the left and driving a low shot beyond McCracken and into the Dundee net.

Having got the lead, the Hoops pushed forward in search of another goal, and top goalscorer Benjamin Nygren came close after being set up by Luke McCowan, but his effort was saved by the foot of McCracken.

It was a more nervy second period of extra-time, although Celtic still looked the more likely to score again, but there was to be no further scoring and the Hoops progressed to the last eight of the competition.
