Good evening from a sun-kissed Hampden Park in the wake of a tremendous Scottish Cup semi-final
00:08
between Aberdeen and Celtic. I'd say one of the classic last four ties of this esteemed
00:14
competition which Celtic prevailed in on a penalty shootout 6-5 following a three-all draw.
00:21
The holders didn't ride their luck necessarily but it was made extremely difficult for them by
00:27
a dogged, determined and spirited Aberdeen team who never gave up, equalising twice,
00:33
once on 90 minutes and the other on 119 minutes against a Celtic team that many thought would
00:40
sweep the Dons aside with relative ease. It wasn't the case. Aberdeen took the lead early
00:44
through Bojan Majovski, his third goal against Celtic this season. And looked quite comfortable
00:50
up until defender Angus McDonald, who was standing captain, making a mistake and then
00:54
allowed Celtic to equalise through Nicola Kuhn. In the second half Celtic probably had their best
00:59
period of the match and James Forrest got the goal on 63 minutes, just two minutes after he'd
01:04
come on as a sub. He played a pivotal part in this match but it was the other end that Aberdeen got
01:10
their reward. Celtic just couldn't see the game out. Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers far
01:15
from impressive and in the end Aberdeen got their leveller right on the full, well not the full
01:20
time, which went right at the end of regulation time. That came through Esther Sockler, a nice
01:26
header from a junior, Hoylet Cross. Extra time was just as entertaining to be honest. Matt O'Reilly
01:32
scored a good goal to put Celtic 3-2 ahead but Aberdeen were never defeated and they got their
01:38
goal at the end. McDonald, who atoned for his mistake earlier in the game, rising high to head
01:44
home a cross from Hoylet who was impressive. In fact both substitute wingers for each team were
01:49
impressive. Hoylet and then Forrest who reminded us just what an important player he can still be
01:54
for Celtic. The penalty shootout was pretty dramatic too. Joe Hart was the player on everyone's lips
02:01
afterwards. He took the fifth penalty for Celtic. Had he scored it he would have won the match for
02:07
Celtic there and then but he hit the post and went on to save Killian Phillips' penalty in
02:12
sudden death and he was the hero. His last game of professional football will be back here in the
02:18
final on May 25th. Who will they play? Well we'll find out tomorrow. It's Rages Against Hearts.
02:23
That match will do well to hold a candle to what we were served up here. Celtic are in the
02:28
Scottish Cup final after winning 600 penalties following a 3-0 draw.
