"Celtic left it late to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, as they defeated Dundee 2-1 after extra-time. Having lost December's League Cup final to St. Mirren during Wilfried Nancy's ill-fated time at the helm, the Hoops looked to be on their way out of the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park, as they trailed 1-0 heading into second-half stoppage time."
"However, with the final kick in the 97th minute, Junior Adamu converted Sebastian Tounekti's cutback past Jon McCracken from close range to take the tie to extra-time, and Martin O'Neill's side struck quickly after the restart. Tounekti played a give-and-go with Luke McCowan in the box before firing home at the near post, and though Benjamin Nygren missed a great opportunity to make it 3-1, Celtic held on for the win."
Celtic progressed to the Scottish Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Dundee after trailing 1-0 late in normal time. Ethan Hamilton opened the scoring for Dundee with a spectacular strike into the top-left corner. Junior Adamu equalised in the 97th minute by converting Sebastian Tounekti's cutback to force extra-time. Tounekti then scored early in extra-time after a give-and-go with Luke McCowan, and Celtic held on despite Benjamin Nygren missing a clear chance. The win extended Martin O'Neill's unbeaten run since his January return as interim manager.
