:03:00. > :03:03.stretched for Rangers with Harry Forrester injured. Martyn Waghorn
:03:04. > :03:08.not ready to return. Billy King and Michael O'Halloran both cup tied.

:04:02. > :04:09.to be at his best to deny Kenny Miller yet another Old Firm goal. On
:04:10. > :04:14.his 100th appearance for Celtic. What an important stop that was from
:04:15. > :04:31.Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon. Room here for Stefan Johansen,
:04:32. > :04:37.finding a pocket in space. Fended away, only as far as Scott Brown,
:04:38. > :04:41.who misses a massive chance to fire Celtic in front. That's the best
:04:42. > :04:46.chance of the game. Rangers do not get it clear. The touch is good,
:04:47. > :04:51.goes across the goalkeeper, misses by half a yard. Everything looked
:04:52. > :05:03.right. Goes across the goalkeeper. Just wide.
:05:04. > :05:09.Boyata almost caught in possession by Kenny Miller, and the free kick
:05:10. > :05:14.goes Rangers way. For a moment Celtic thought it was there. No idea
:05:15. > :05:23.what he was thinking in a game of this importance. Last man, you don't
:05:24. > :05:36.try and take Kenny Miller on. Roberts teasing, tormenting, and
:05:37. > :05:43.finding roofers. From the angle. Leigh Griffiths has one thought in
:05:44. > :05:44.mind. Just drags it wide. First touch is good, the angle against
:05:45. > :06:04.him. Good movement. Free kick given
:06:05. > :06:09.against Boyata. Rangers ten to take short free kicks because they don't
:06:10. > :06:12.have a lot of height. Mark Warburton will have been working on these,
:06:13. > :06:20.let's see whether Rangers have something from the training ground.
:06:21. > :06:25.Scored against Hibs in a big game at Ibrox earlier this season,
:06:26. > :06:36.absolutely fizzed across goal. In from Tavernier. Rangers could still
:06:37. > :06:41.do some damage. Ball in from Halladay, deflected off Brown, and
:06:42. > :06:52.Kenny Miller scores! Rangers are ahead against Celtic! After 15
:06:53. > :06:53.minutes at Hampden, just like old times for the former Scotland
:06:54. > :06:58.striker. He's made such a sharp times for the former Scotland
:06:59. > :07:02.start. Celtic don't really complete the clearance. Rangers keep pressure
:07:03. > :07:07.on and eventually get the reward. It is actually a poor ball in. It's
:07:08. > :07:13.also Kenny Miller and that is a great finish. Nothing great about
:07:14. > :07:17.the ball in, but that first touch to react, knocks it into the bottom
:07:18. > :07:23.corner. Kenny Miller started sharp, now he's got his goal. Denied by
:07:24. > :07:28.Craig Gordon earlier, he wasn't going to say no to another goal to
:07:29. > :07:39.add to his tally. Kenny Miller's 19th of the season. Bodies flung in
:07:40. > :07:49.front of it. The follow-up lasted just wide. Its breathless stuff.
:07:50. > :08:07.Keirin Tierney, it was miles wide, but he certainly struck it. Ball did
:08:08. > :08:08.well. Halliday. Lovely 1-2. Jason Holt cuts inside and fails to find
:08:09. > :08:13.the target. But very impressive Holt cuts inside and fails to find
:08:14. > :08:20.build-up against up yellow absolutely wonderful. Gets onto
:08:21. > :08:27.Gets onto his right foot. Just can't get around it. Stunned silence at
:08:28. > :08:35.times from the Celtic fans that the way this match has played out so
:08:36. > :08:40.far. Mckay switching to the right side, having done damage down the
:08:41. > :08:49.left. Looping around, Tavernier, great ball in, skimming off the head
:08:50. > :09:00.of Brown. Now Mackay-Steven makes a move. He takes a touch. Griffiths,
:09:01. > :09:08.on his left foot, it's off the post, but surely! Oh, surely! Or surely
:09:09. > :09:15.not. Patrick Roberts has missed an absolute sitter. I can't believe it,
:09:16. > :09:19.Leigh Griffiths is a market comes back of the post. He has gone left
:09:20. > :09:28.footed and somehow he has managed to knock it wide. Chances don't come
:09:29. > :09:32.better. That was an absolute sitter. What will encourage Celtic is the
:09:33. > :09:38.way they created that chance. They will look to do so, create another
:09:39. > :09:45.opportunity, and take it, this time. That is a big chance spurned by
:09:46. > :09:52.them. The youngster will look to atone for his error. Roles at
:09:53. > :09:57.inside. And Johansson. Good save, Wesley Foderingham had to adjust
:09:58. > :10:04.with the ball in flight. He does well, the Rangers goalkeeper. If he
:10:05. > :10:08.hits the target, slight deflection, Leigh Griffiths was right on him
:10:09. > :10:17.like a flash. This must be all of 35 yards. It's Griffiths! It was
:10:18. > :10:25.shifting. All Wes Foderingham could do was beat this away. The
:10:26. > :10:27.goalkeeper takes no chances. The outswinger from Roberts, flicked on
:10:28. > :10:32.goalkeeper takes no chances. The by mould grew. Robert Kearnan Myall
:10:33. > :10:43.'s macro clearance. Really important to challenge by
:10:44. > :10:47.Halliday. It had to be perfectly timed. You go to ground, you are
:10:48. > :10:50.going to get solid contact on the ball. His knee gets the final touch,
:10:51. > :11:07.but he gets the job done. Roberts plays it in. Flicked on by
:11:08. > :11:13.Mikael Lustig. Wilson's header. It was Sviatchenko who sees his effort
:11:14. > :11:17.blocked. Not allowing Rangers to clear their lines, keeping the
:11:18. > :11:26.pressure on. Celtic chasing an equaliser. Roberts floats this one
:11:27. > :11:32.in. There is the equaliser! And it's Sviatchenko, the Danish defender,
:11:33. > :11:38.who levels things up in this Scottish semi cup final. It's his
:11:39. > :11:42.first goal for Celtic. What a time to score your first goal and what a
:11:43. > :11:48.goal it is. The ball comes into the box. It is who can jump highest. The
:11:49. > :11:52.answer is Sviatchenko. Then, can you hit the target? It is a bullet
:11:53. > :11:59.header. Absolutely magnificent header from the centre-back. A lot
:12:00. > :12:02.of work to be done. Cracking goal. Just what Celtic wanted, within five
:12:03. > :12:10.minutes of the restart. They've levelled things up. I think he's a
:12:11. > :12:15.bit pleased. And a bit relieved. Patrick Roberts has to be the most
:12:16. > :12:22.relieved player on the pitch at that Sviatchenko equaliser. It was his
:12:23. > :12:24.corner headed in. Here he comes with another delivery, another
:12:25. > :12:30.Sviatchenko header and it's very much on target. Players in green and
:12:31. > :12:32.white are winning everything. Sviatchenko again hits the target.
:12:33. > :12:47.But an easy save that time. Celtic switching off as Rangers took
:12:48. > :12:53.the short corner. Jason Holt, wriggling his way through. Celtic
:12:54. > :13:03.now counterattacking with Roberts and Griffiths. Lee Griffiths with
:13:04. > :13:14.the cutback. Callum McGregor is denied. That is such an important
:13:15. > :13:18.challenge by Dominic Ball. Almost picked out Callum McGregor with the
:13:19. > :13:28.cutback. You cannot deny it is a nail-biting stuff. Extra time is
:13:29. > :13:39.looming. And who knows, penalties as well. Free kick. Foul on Roberts.
:13:40. > :13:46.Persistent fouling. It is a certain free kick. Another ball about to fly
:13:47. > :13:53.into the Rangers' box. Roberts floats it in. Britain's Heather is
:13:54. > :14:15.agonisingly close. The Celtic players need to get their
:14:16. > :14:20.heads on these set pieces. Nicky Law, with fresh legs getting him to
:14:21. > :14:33.the byline. That is 90 minutes played. Kenny Miller's goal
:14:34. > :14:39.cancelled out by Sviatchenko's equaliser for Celtic. An extra half
:14:40. > :14:53.an hour coming up, to try to settle this. A gripping 90 minutes,
:14:54. > :15:00.followed by an extra 30. Who will get the big win? Big question is
:15:01. > :15:14.still hanging over it. Almost a deadly delayed by Wes Foderingham.
:15:15. > :15:36.Halliday. Charlie Mulgrew was in the way. Interception by Tavernier.
:15:37. > :15:43.Britain should be aware of any shows of dissent or petulant because he
:15:44. > :15:56.has had a yellow already. The linesman said Celtic, the referee
:15:57. > :15:58.said Rangers. Barrie McKay! Scores I wonder goal for Rangers in extra
:15:59. > :16:09.time. They are ahead again. It is wonder goal for Rangers in extra
:16:10. > :16:16.2-1. Looking for something special to turn this time around and here it
:16:17. > :16:21.is from Barrie McKay. He will never have a better shot in his life.
:16:22. > :16:25.Moves onto his right, beat the goalkeeper but, right into the top
:16:26. > :16:32.corner. Absolutely top drawer. You will never see a better one than
:16:33. > :16:40.that. Craig Gordon was never getting near to this. Celtic will be livid
:16:41. > :16:46.at the award of the throw in. Our Celtic finished, can they come back
:16:47. > :16:52.again? Roberts, delivers the corner kick. It was Batman Sviatchenko
:16:53. > :17:01.again on the end of it. Celtic's best method of getting into this
:17:02. > :17:06.type, set piece into the box. Few would have seen this coming. There
:17:07. > :17:18.is still time for Celtic to turn things around.
:17:19. > :17:27.It is Tom Rogic and it is 40 seconds into the second period of extra
:17:28. > :17:33.time. Perfect reply from Celtic. It looked so simple. All into the wide
:17:34. > :17:49.area, the cup back and Rogic does the rest. He fired it into the
:17:50. > :17:55.bottom corner. Tierney has had a quiet afternoon, but has made his
:17:56. > :18:03.presence felt now. Ronnie can breathe again.
:18:04. > :18:17.Celtic lifted by the goal. Rogic again. Deflected in. Roberts!
:18:18. > :18:24.Another chance that the teenager. Should he have snapped it up first
:18:25. > :18:30.time? He tried to turn back inside and the sting was taken out of his
:18:31. > :18:35.effort. It was a big chance for Celtic to turn this much completely
:18:36. > :18:47.on it had. Now play is down towards the other end with Barry Mackay.
:18:48. > :18:52.Cleared by Sviatchenko. Wilson's had their clear. Only as far as Rogic.
:18:53. > :19:02.The Celtic fans were screaming for him to shoot. Now, Griffiths.
:19:03. > :19:10.McGregor. Rogic is in again... It brushes aside net. Deflected wide of
:19:11. > :19:19.the target. Almost a quickfire 44 Rogic. Halfway through this second
:19:20. > :19:38.period of extra time. McGregor! Great effort. Great save
:19:39. > :19:45.by Wes Foderingham. Griffiths fires it back in. I am amazed the game is
:19:46. > :19:53.going at this place. Flowing from end to end.
:19:54. > :20:06.Patrick Roberts. Finds its way to Rogic, who was held back by
:20:07. > :20:13.Halliday. It is bucking the Rangers midfielder. He will consider it was
:20:14. > :20:16.worth it. Tom Rogic was slipping into a very dangerous position and
:20:17. > :20:23.he has shown what he can do in front of the goal already. Challenge had
:20:24. > :20:33.to be made by Andy Halliday. He was willing to take the booking. It is
:20:34. > :20:41.that distance where it is awkward to score from here. The penultimate
:20:42. > :20:46.minute of extra time. Is this the moment Lee Griffiths. It is off the
:20:47. > :20:54.underside of crossbar. It came crashing back from Wes Foderingham.
:20:55. > :20:58.Did the goalkeeper get a touch? Lee Griffiths thought it was going off
:20:59. > :21:04.the goalkeeper and into the back of the net, but it has gone wide for
:21:05. > :21:09.the corner. How many volunteers for the penalties, many of the players
:21:10. > :21:15.can hardly walk, let alone take a penalty. The place in the final of
:21:16. > :21:23.the Scottish Cup final will be settled by penalties. First up the
:21:24. > :21:34.Rangers, it is Andy Halliday. Scores. Brilliantly into the top
:21:35. > :21:40.corner. Absolutely perfect, goalkeeper has no chance, goes the
:21:41. > :21:45.wrong way. It is a terrific strike from Andy Halliday. Looking to get
:21:46. > :21:51.Celtic after the ideal start is Charlie Mulgrew. His sends Wes
:21:52. > :21:58.Foderingham the wrong way. 1-1 on penalties. Equally good from Charlie
:21:59. > :22:05.Mulgrew. Goalkeeper goes one way, he slips it into the corner. James
:22:06. > :22:11.Tavernier has scored 14 times for Rangers this season. Can he find the
:22:12. > :22:23.target one more time in the shoot out? There is your answer! Over the
:22:24. > :22:28.top. Ad vantage, Celtic. He sauntered up to it. Looked really
:22:29. > :22:34.confident. At the last minute, gets his foot under the ball and it is
:22:35. > :22:44.over the bar. Looking for some divine assistance. Has Callum
:22:45. > :22:52.McGregor got what it takes? It stays at 1-1 on penalties. McGregor's miss
:22:53. > :23:02.rattling back off the crossbar. Gone further power, straight down the
:23:03. > :23:13.middle. Next up, Barrie McKay, who scored the screamer in extra time.
:23:14. > :23:19.Can he find the net again? He does, but only just and that is so painful
:23:20. > :23:23.for Craig Gordon, who got his left hand to it, but couldn't keep it
:23:24. > :23:33.out. He guessed right, got their book couldn't get a solid hand
:23:34. > :23:36.behind it. Bittton appeared to be struggling with bad hamstring
:23:37. > :23:48.problem. Look like he wanted to come off at one stage. But he steps up to
:23:49. > :23:53.take Celtic's third penalty. 2-1 Rangers at the moment on penalties.
:23:54. > :24:00.That makes it 2-2. Super-confident from a player who looked like he was
:24:01. > :24:02.struggling during the game. The classic go down the middle, you know
:24:03. > :24:10.the goalkeeper is going to die. classic go down the middle, you know
:24:11. > :24:17.after extra time, 2-2 on penalties. Nicky Clark. Craig Gordon makes the
:24:18. > :24:20.save. A century of Celtic appearances and is that a turning
:24:21. > :24:29.point in the shoot out? Great reflexes. His dad in the crowd.
:24:30. > :24:37.Horrible for his son. When for the power but it was a great save by
:24:38. > :24:43.Craig Gordon. It is the captain. Scott Brown! Saved by Wes
:24:44. > :24:53.Foderingham. It was up for penalty. It is another mess. It was an easy
:24:54. > :25:02.save. Nowhere near the corner and a good height for the goalkeeper. They
:25:03. > :25:06.have scored two and missed two each. It is Lee Wallace. It is perfect.
:25:07. > :25:13.Celtic have two score the next one to stay alive. That is the way to do
:25:14. > :25:19.it from the Rangers' skipper. Right in the corner, perfect. Who would
:25:20. > :25:31.you want in a crisis? Surely, Lee Griffiths. It is 3-3 on penalties.
:25:32. > :25:34.Now it becomes sudden death. Lee Griffiths has missed a couple but
:25:35. > :25:41.steps up and does a great job. What a moment for 19-year-old Gedion
:25:42. > :25:50.Zelalem. Can the youngster saddle his nerves? Sensational. It sends
:25:51. > :25:56.Craig Gordon the wrong way. Some people might be panicking, not him.
:25:57. > :26:07.Young nerves, supercool. Always look like he was going to find the back
:26:08. > :26:15.of the net. The experience of the Swedish international has two score.
:26:16. > :26:22.He bills. Another beautifully taken penalty from Mikael Lustig. Top
:26:23. > :26:27.quality. The goalkeeper guesses right. Almost get there but there is
:26:28. > :26:38.enough power in the effort. Hope you are keeping count. Nicky Law! Very
:26:39. > :26:44.good indeed. Craig Gordon went to his right, the ball went to his
:26:45. > :26:47.left. Opened up the ankle, goes into the bottom corner and keeps the
:26:48. > :26:52.left. Opened up the ankle, goes into pressure on. As Rangers keep putting
:26:53. > :26:59.these away, the tension just ratchets up from the Celtic players
:27:00. > :27:03.who have to follow up and keep themselves alive. And Tom Rogic
:27:04. > :27:12.makes a real mess of that penalty. Rangers have pulled off this
:27:13. > :27:17.seemingly unthinkable. So many people had Celtic winning this
:27:18. > :27:24.semifinal on cruise control and what does this all mean for the Celtic
:27:25. > :27:30.manager, Ronnie Deila? It is a smile as wide as the Clyde on the face of
:27:31. > :27:38.Mark Warburton. The underdogs have done the business. What sort of
:27:39. > :27:45.signals does this send out for next season in the Premiership?
:27:46. > :27:52.A great game, huge drama and an absorbing afternoon of football.
:27:53. > :27:58.Finally, victory for Rangers. A deserved victory, said the Rangers
:27:59. > :28:05.manager, Mark Warburton afterwards. Pat, would you agree? It was
:28:06. > :28:08.definitely Rangers' day. In the first half I thought they played
:28:09. > :28:15.well. They were composed, passed the ball. But the battle was in the wide
:28:16. > :28:19.areas and Celtic came out on top. We talked about it before the game, how
:28:20. > :28:25.would they cope with Roberts on one side. Gary Mackay-Steven didn't
:28:26. > :28:33.perform. Roberts did OK for a period of the game.
:28:34. > :28:41.They had magnificent chances. They had a lot of chances to win, even in
:28:42. > :28:47.the penalty shoot out, they had a chance to go into the lead and
:28:48. > :28:50.didn't take it. Celtic had the chances, Mark Warburton says it was
:28:51. > :28:56.a deserved win for Rangers, what's your view? I would agree. It was a
:28:57. > :29:01.great game and a great advert for Scottish football. The atmosphere.
:29:02. > :29:05.The pitch was good. From the start Rangers looked confident, sealed and
:29:06. > :29:10.well prepared. They dominated possession. Celtic did create one or
:29:11. > :29:15.two good openings. But they were laboured in the opening half and did
:29:16. > :29:19.not lay a glove on Rangers. Second-half Celtic came out very
:29:20. > :29:23.strongly. Little period just after half-time when they forced four
:29:24. > :29:29.Corners, got their goal to get back into it. At that point you expected
:29:30. > :29:33.Celtic to kick on. I was thinking Rangers would be under the cosh
:29:34. > :29:36.because Celtic were in the ascendancy. For me they seemed to
:29:37. > :29:41.drop deep and allow Rangers to keep the ball against point you are an
:29:42. > :29:48.expert when it comes to veteran strikers, Kenny Miller... He's not a
:29:49. > :29:53.veteran, he's only 36! Plenty of life left in those legs? Absolutely,
:29:54. > :29:57.and this kind of run is how he made his career, off the shoulder of the
:29:58. > :30:01.defender. That is very clever movement. And this is a very
:30:02. > :30:07.opportunistic goal. He points to where he wants the ball. Boyata is
:30:08. > :30:13.sleeping a bit. Look who reacts first, Kenny Miller. He's trying to
:30:14. > :30:19.do the right thing, but the reaction in the box is the key to this goal.
:30:20. > :30:23.Huge moment, Pat. Another huge moment was the miss from Patrick
:30:24. > :30:31.Roberts. Comparisons with Lionel Messi, but today they were more
:30:32. > :30:35.comparisons to a bad miss for Rangers. He is a young man and he
:30:36. > :30:38.has produced some great games but this will live with him for a long
:30:39. > :30:43.has produced some great games but time. Will that scar him? I hope
:30:44. > :30:48.not. He's only a young player, but what an opportunity, just hit the
:30:49. > :30:52.target. When it comes off the post you are already saying, equaliser.
:30:53. > :30:59.I'm sitting in the lounge with my mouth wide open. One of those horror
:31:00. > :31:01.moments and I feel for him. Having missed opportunities myself as a
:31:02. > :31:07.strike in the past in big matches, it plays on your mind, all night,
:31:08. > :31:12.all week, it runs on loop in your head but you've got to get over it.
:31:13. > :31:16.But a horrible moment for him. It will take some time. Lacklustre
:31:17. > :31:20.performance around the pitch in many ways from Celtic at times but a
:31:21. > :31:27.shining light once again, keirin Tierney. Listen, we talked about him
:31:28. > :31:31.all season. He's been absolutely fantastic. At times it was almost
:31:32. > :31:37.two against one, three against one, and he got across. Getting himself
:31:38. > :31:42.back into good positions, awareness, his body into defendant. Nobody
:31:43. > :31:48.better in this league in this moment in time that can defend in the way
:31:49. > :31:53.he does. He does it so, so well. He gets his tackles in. He's a bit like
:31:54. > :32:00.Danny McGrady, when you got hit, you knew you were hit. He's got that.
:32:01. > :32:08.This was excellent. Really good run in, shows real awareness to pick out
:32:09. > :32:12.Rogic for the goal. Rogic had an interesting time when he came on the
:32:13. > :32:17.pitch. Obviously he got the goal, massive moment in the penalty shoot
:32:18. > :32:24.out, freakish moment as well. I feel like the defence counsel here. The
:32:25. > :32:29.pitch rose, didn't it? Watches standing foot before he kicks the
:32:30. > :32:34.ball. Our whole piece of turf moves and lifts the ball and inch off the
:32:35. > :32:38.ground. I think the penalty kick he was hitting was going high anyway,
:32:39. > :32:43.possibly into the top corner. The ball sat up an extra inch. Why did
:32:44. > :32:49.it have to happen to a Celtic player? It sat up and inch, almost
:32:50. > :32:53.like a golf ball on a tee. You had to feel sorry for him. He came on
:32:54. > :33:00.and he made an impact. to feel sorry for him. He came on
:33:01. > :33:03.Due to an ongoing situation between BBC Scotland and Rangers, no
:33:04. > :33:08.interviews with the Rangers manager or the players, but we did hear from
:33:09. > :33:16.the Celtic can. Craig Gordon coming up, but first Ronny Deila. Very
:33:17. > :33:17.disappointed, of course. Tough game. Overall I am disappointed in the
:33:18. > :33:20.performance, we should have been Overall I am disappointed in the
:33:21. > :33:23.better than what we were. Did not think we were pressing good enough
:33:24. > :33:28.in the first half and we did not keep it well either. In the first
:33:29. > :33:32.half Rangers was the best thing. In the second half we went harder on
:33:33. > :33:35.them. And we get our goal. That was positive. After that I think also we
:33:36. > :33:40.them. And we get our goal. That was should be better on the ball and
:33:41. > :33:45.create more. At the same time they did not create a lot. We should have
:33:46. > :33:48.been better. We should have performed first. If we had done that
:33:49. > :33:52.we probably would have went on to win the game. Some fans have taken
:33:53. > :33:57.to social media to suggest your time as Celtic manager may be up, is it?
:33:58. > :34:03.In football you never know with these kind of questions. It is
:34:04. > :34:07.always hard pressure here. What I'm thinking now is to go out to win the
:34:08. > :34:12.league. That's the most important thing now, and then we'll see after
:34:13. > :34:15.the season what we will do. Are you categorically convinced you will be
:34:16. > :34:20.Celtic manager next year? You never know in football. But this is a
:34:21. > :34:26.fantastic job and something I want to carry on with. Do you want to
:34:27. > :34:31.carry on? Of course I want to. Lets cut to the chase. Does Ronny Deila
:34:32. > :34:39.face the sack? He's really disappointed. After getting this
:34:40. > :34:44.defeat. I've said it all season, the league is a taking. Still they had
:34:45. > :34:49.to do the business and that but I think it is a taking. Back-up you
:34:50. > :34:58.have to win this season, they haven't won either. Big decisions to
:34:59. > :35:03.be made now by the board. I think he should be given the chance to win
:35:04. > :35:08.his league, no question of that. But will they take a chance for him? I'm
:35:09. > :35:14.not too sure. It's going to be very difficult. You don't think he will
:35:15. > :35:18.be there next season. I would agree. He has been up against it since his
:35:19. > :35:23.disastrous European campaign, I don't think he has recovered. League
:35:24. > :35:27.form has been indifferent. Out of both cups, not acceptable. Dwindling
:35:28. > :35:33.crowds. Not sure about the squad size. You have to say as well that
:35:34. > :35:37.his players have underperformed. A large number of his players have
:35:38. > :35:41.underperformed massively. To give him credit today, at half-time he
:35:42. > :35:45.obviously did something because they came out at half-time and he got
:35:46. > :35:51.them going. At half-time in extra time he got them going, got a goal
:35:52. > :35:56.back. Is that enough? The Champions League is a big thing this year.
:35:57. > :35:59.They will get into it, whether they will qualify, that is a must for
:36:00. > :36:03.Celtic Football Club. They haven't shown in Europe and we were critical
:36:04. > :36:07.of them at the start of the year. Knocked out by Rangers, still a
:36:08. > :36:12.championship team. He will get to the end of the season and that's it?
:36:13. > :36:16.He showed. He definitely deserves to win the league Trophy at I can't see
:36:17. > :36:21.a way back for him after that. Rangers into the Scottish Cup final.
:36:22. > :36:24.Great day for the Rangers fans at Hampden Park. Fantastic, absolutely
:36:25. > :36:30.fantastic, boys. I'm so proud of Hampden Park. Fantastic, absolutely
:36:31. > :36:35.boys. The bar has been raised and we are back. We will win the league
:36:36. > :36:43.next year. We can beat anybody. They played well. They did us proud. I
:36:44. > :36:47.was glad we got there in the end. First half of it slow, second-half
:36:48. > :36:54.always on top. It's an exciting time to be a Rangers fan. The Rangers
:36:55. > :36:58.fans went home happy. The manager very happy with how his players
:36:59. > :37:02.executed the game plan. Rangers have played a possession based game all
:37:03. > :37:04.season. The big question was whether they could execute it against the
:37:05. > :37:09.best team in the country and the answer was yes. The display in the
:37:10. > :37:13.first half in terms of possession was phenomenal. I could have picked
:37:14. > :37:17.20 clips of them keeping the ball. They went all the way across the
:37:18. > :37:25.pitch, the passing today was crisp. Started in such a relaxed manner.
:37:26. > :37:28.Confident. You liked this one. You can see from Celtic, Mikael Lustig
:37:29. > :37:35.had pulled out of position, probably too easily, he could have passed
:37:36. > :37:39.into midfield. Robert is a problem, he has to defend this big space in
:37:40. > :37:44.behind. That was an issue throughout the game for them. It was but it is
:37:45. > :37:49.a feature of Rangers play, they have been doing it all season. They get
:37:50. > :37:51.an early shot off, and looked particularly impressive. Mark
:37:52. > :37:56.Warburton has instilled it that they have to keep the ball, take it under
:37:57. > :38:02.any circumstances. The composure the defenders had in abundance. They get
:38:03. > :38:06.pressed here. Decides to go along but again finds his man with the
:38:07. > :38:11.past. Good support play from Barrie McKay as well. Young Tierney as
:38:12. > :38:16.well. He shows really good defending. I was impressed with
:38:17. > :38:19.Rangers way they played little triangles. In this situation, there
:38:20. > :38:23.are three Rangers players, we will triangles. In this situation, there
:38:24. > :38:27.highlight them just now. The ball moves but the players also moved to
:38:28. > :38:31.get options on the ball, and they exploit the space. You will see the
:38:32. > :38:36.end of it here, exploiting space and almost getting a chance. Barrie
:38:37. > :38:42.McKay makes this movement all day long. Unlucky not to get in again,
:38:43. > :38:49.but they were lucky in possession. Speaking of Barrie McKay staving,
:38:50. > :38:52.stunning strike from him. -- Gary Mackay-Steven. The Celtic fans and
:38:53. > :38:57.staff will be talking about this probably tomorrow. Maybe the referee
:38:58. > :39:02.was unsighted that it was definitely a Celtic throw in. The assistant on
:39:03. > :39:09.this site did give it to Celtic and the referee overruled him. At that
:39:10. > :39:13.point there is still a long way to go to the Celtic game. Look at the
:39:14. > :39:18.Rangers players here picking up the ball in acres of space. We
:39:19. > :39:23.highlighted the run out to in, watching take up this space as the
:39:24. > :39:27.ball comes along. Cheap from Celtic, not doing their jobs defensively
:39:28. > :39:33.properly from a throw in. I'll pause it, look at the amount of space he
:39:34. > :39:39.is in, here, phenomenal amount of space, he gets the ball, turns,
:39:40. > :39:44.there is still an awful lot to do. And what a strike. It was a great
:39:45. > :39:48.goal. Still had a little bit to do, back to goal, he turned Scott Brown.
:39:49. > :39:52.Craig Gordon had no chance with that. None whatsoever and it was a
:39:53. > :39:57.very impressive performance from Rangers. Great goal from Barrie
:39:58. > :40:04.McKay. Rangers are in the final of the Scottish Cup, congratulations to
:40:05. > :40:04.them. The first semifinal was played yesterday, Hibs against Dundee
:40:05. > :40:34.United. COMMENTATOR: The 200th meeting of
:40:35. > :40:38.Hebburn Ian and Dundee United sees two clubs who is respectively
:40:39. > :40:44.campaigns are in serious danger of imploding -- Hibernian. Hibs in
:40:45. > :40:49.their fourth Scottish Cup semifinal in the last five years, only winning
:40:50. > :40:52.one of their last seven championship matches, having been a serious
:40:53. > :40:57.threat to Rangers at the top for two thirds of the campaign. The road to
:40:58. > :41:02.promotion looks like it could be a long one. United haven't got going
:41:03. > :41:04.as they prop up the Premiership, eight points from salvation, with
:41:05. > :41:11.only five games left to political off. Hibs without the suspended Mark
:41:12. > :41:17.Oxley after contact lens gate in the last round in Inverness. Debut for
:41:18. > :41:26.the 29-year-old Irishman Conrad Logan in goal. James Keatings is
:41:27. > :41:33.also banned. Hibs haven't won this for a while but Anthony Stokes has,
:41:34. > :41:38.twice. He, McGregor and grey are walking a suspension tightrope. Make
:41:39. > :41:42.soup at a line and has been putting Gavin Gunning related
:41:43. > :41:45.His mysterious departure came at a time when nothing could be doing
:41:46. > :41:50.without any extra hassles. Blair Spittal starts for the first
:41:51. > :42:09.time in a month. This is Lewis Stevenson, first
:42:10. > :42:15.chance for him, perhaps. Going for the spectacular. 23 times this
:42:16. > :42:18.season he has scored. He's certainly capable. The ball comes in, he sees
:42:19. > :42:30.it barely. Just can't get over it. it barely. Just can't get over it.
:42:31. > :42:33.-- he sees it barely. A chance! And the Hibs debutant comes up with an
:42:34. > :42:54.answer. Morris showed way too much of it.
:42:55. > :42:59.He's given a penalty for handball! I think Donaldson gets the head down
:43:00. > :43:01.and the arm up here. Unusual position. Awkward one. Very
:43:02. > :43:19.difficult to tell. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What was
:43:20. > :43:23.that? At this stage of the competition, you don't need that.
:43:24. > :43:28.You need the ball in the back of the net.
:43:29. > :43:40.Fancies it! You don't want to give him room. From 30 yards income he
:43:41. > :43:44.just takes a step and he heads an absolute beauty. Rising all the
:43:45. > :43:54.time, but just too high. But what a hit.
:43:55. > :43:59.Billy Mackay, was in again. He was denied by Conrad Logan. The
:44:00. > :44:03.goalkeeper has been worth his denied by Conrad Logan. The
:44:04. > :44:34.in gold. Great ball and a great take. Close,
:44:35. > :44:44.but not close enough. Paul Payton. Erskine was onside. Still alive. Of
:44:45. > :44:54.the line by Hanlon. Little flick, just onside. United should have made
:44:55. > :45:02.Hibs pay. Paul Donaldson is down again. Had to be treated earlier. A
:45:03. > :45:10.tweak in your hamstring sometime becomes worse. You should say to the
:45:11. > :45:17.manager, I am going to become a liability, you need to make a
:45:18. > :45:33.change. United haven't even got a substitute ready. John Beaton, into
:45:34. > :45:35.extra time. John McGinlay hasn't been the influence in the game we
:45:36. > :45:46.know he can be. The keeper had to make the save.
:45:47. > :45:56.John Rankin, thought he was scoring. Another wonderful save. That was
:45:57. > :46:02.going in the bottom corner. Another good save! Still alive will stop
:46:03. > :46:07.Conrad Logan has just received a standing ovation from the Hibs
:46:08. > :46:23.supporters. He has been an absolute star.
:46:24. > :46:34.The goalkeeper decided to just punch that. It looked unorthodox from the
:46:35. > :46:44.Japanese. He has blown the whistle and the first Scottish Cup semifinal
:46:45. > :46:48.is going to a penalty shoot out. Blair Spittal is up first. Wouldn't
:46:49. > :46:54.is going to a penalty shoot out. you know it! The man of the moment
:46:55. > :46:59.does it again! John McGinn, to put them in front. And he does. As
:47:00. > :47:07.does it again! John McGinn, to put decisive as you get. Billy McKay I
:47:08. > :47:17.missed a couple of good chances. And another save from Logan.
:47:18. > :47:30.Paul Hanlon, who scored the late equaliser against Hearts, makes it
:47:31. > :47:44.two. Paul Dixon has two score for Dundee United. He does. They are
:47:45. > :47:50.still breathing. Martin Boyle has the chance to move Hibs closer to
:47:51. > :48:05.the final. Another wonderful penalty.
:48:06. > :48:14.Guide them out. The weight of world was on his shoulders. Jason
:48:15. > :48:31.Cummings has the chance to put Hibs into the final. In he goes... It is
:48:32. > :48:36.Glory, Glory. Jason Cummings can raise all memories of the penalty
:48:37. > :48:41.miss in the first half. He has taken Hibs through to the final, with more
:48:42. > :48:47.than a helping hand from Conrad Logan. It finished goalless after
:48:48. > :48:53.extra time. Jason Cummings with the winning penalty.
:48:54. > :49:03.A dull first half we were good and Dundee United were the better team.
:49:04. > :49:09.They got to a point for both teams didn't want to lose the game.
:49:10. > :49:12.Obviously when called upon and you can produce things, I am delighted.
:49:13. > :49:15.Obviously when called upon and you Created loads of clear-cut chances
:49:16. > :49:20.and they haven't taken them. In the end they have cost us. We simply
:49:21. > :49:26.needed to put those chances away. What an afternoon of the big man
:49:27. > :49:32.between the sticks for Hibs. Conrad Logan already a hero with the Easter
:49:33. > :49:37.Road faithful. His last match, December 2014 before that. He is a
:49:38. > :49:44.player you know well? I knew him from Donegal, knew his dad who
:49:45. > :49:48.played as well. They played against Aberdeen in the European
:49:49. > :49:51.competition. He was a Young man, trying to find his way. He moved
:49:52. > :50:00.over to Leicester and I didn't see much of him after that. What a game
:50:01. > :50:05.he had. He is of course, not match fit, but he was technically very
:50:06. > :50:08.good, made decisions. Spreading himself, coming up quickly and
:50:09. > :50:14.killing the space. Had a fantastic game. This was the first penalty
:50:15. > :50:20.save. I've thought he was going to save all of them. The second penalty
:50:21. > :50:26.was a really good save. Low down to his right hand side. Fantastic
:50:27. > :50:32.penalty, you couldn't write it any better. He is deserving of his hero
:50:33. > :50:39.status. He enjoyed that, he really did. He has got a couple of months
:50:40. > :50:46.now. He has a chance of getting a contract and coming up here. He was
:50:47. > :50:49.out of a job. It was a day for big personalities and you have two said
:50:50. > :50:54.Jason Cummings is a play with personality? He is, without doubt.
:50:55. > :50:59.If you're going to do this, you have to make sure you score. If I was one
:51:00. > :51:12.of his team-mates... Absolutely crazy. What is riding on the game.
:51:13. > :51:16.It shows a bit of bottle to go up and hit the next one, which wasn't a
:51:17. > :51:24.great penalty. He is a lucky Young man. If you are the manager, what
:51:25. > :51:27.would you say to him? I with taking him aside and saying, never, ever
:51:28. > :51:34.try that again. Imagine if they went out of the cup after doing that.
:51:35. > :51:42.There would have been a line of players in my day, waiting for him.
:51:43. > :51:47.There is a fine line between confidence, you go into an ego
:51:48. > :51:50.thing. There will be managers watching him. I know a couple of
:51:51. > :51:54.managers who have in watching him who would have been interested in
:51:55. > :52:04.taking him. They might not be interesting now. What was this
:52:05. > :52:16.between Carl Donaldson and the manager. He was injured, but he was
:52:17. > :52:20.wanted to get off the pitch. But I think the officials were trying to
:52:21. > :52:26.get him off the pitch. The manager had time to get a substitute ready
:52:27. > :52:30.because he had been carrying the injury for some time. I remember
:52:31. > :52:35.watching Dundee United in the European, watching with Tommy Burns
:52:36. > :52:39.at that level, now to get relegated this year with a huge. Players would
:52:40. > :52:45.have to go, but the wages. Do all the things clubs don't want to do
:52:46. > :52:48.and it will affect the club. We'll be bounced back, that is the
:52:49. > :52:53.question? They had chances to win the game, but that has been the
:52:54. > :53:02.problem for them all season. We know who will be in the Scottish Cup
:53:03. > :53:08.problem for them all season. We know final, Hibs against Rangers. Who
:53:09. > :53:14.will win it? It'll be interesting. Hibs, two cup finals. Suddenly it
:53:15. > :53:20.could be a disaster. I would like to go for Hibs. Going to be a busy
:53:21. > :53:24.schedule because Rangers have a lay-off before the match? Rangers
:53:25. > :53:28.have a couple of weeks off, which will benefit them after a long
:53:29. > :53:31.season. Hibs are already looking tired, so they could do with arrest.
:53:32. > :53:41.For the first time ever the Scottish Cup final will be contested by two
:53:42. > :53:52.sides out of the top flight. From all others here, good night.
