Things were starting to get a bit nervy for Neil Lennon’s men in Perth as St Johnstone held firm and even started to threaten themselves.
One thing that this Celtic team have been very good at is finding a way to win when they don’t play well, and it looks like they’ve managed to pull this one out of the bag yet again.
There seems to be some confusion over who the goal should be awarded to, but it looks like Ryan Christie is the one to take the credit here:

There might still be a nervy ending here, but it looks like this goal will be enough to take Celtic into the Semi Finals.
With Hearts winning yesterday, you have to think there will only be one winner of the Cup again this season.
