00:00Dundee denied at the death. Celtic going to the very, very last seconds.
00:11What a way to announce himself for Junior Adamu with that dramatic equalizer that sets up extra time at Celtic Park.
00:22A lot of tired bodies out there for Dundee in particular, and I think you heard Charlie just talking about holiday there.
00:34He defended the whole game brilliantly, but the last moment he just doesn't get tight enough to direct it.
00:41And that little bit of extra space was all he was needing to get in behind and deliver the vital ball.
00:47Good finish from Adamu, you've got to say, very, very cute.
00:53I think this is being held up because Dundee are going to make a couple of changes.
01:02Ethan Ingram, or Amari Samuels actually, is being readied along with Charlie Riley to come on.
01:17I wonder if those supporters that left at 80 minutes are trying to make their way back into Celtic Park,
01:25because they've lost out on A, a spectacular 90-minute equalizer, and now an extra half hour.
01:35So it was Trey Wright that was yellow-carded just at the end of the 90 minutes there.
01:57How are you joining Jan Dander and Tom Congreve in the boot?
02:06William Aroco for Celtic.
02:09This is Tenecti who made that goal.
02:19Aroco.
02:20And Forrest.
02:21Sirachi.
02:22And McCowan back to the Uruguayan.
02:23Tunecti.
02:24Gets the return.
02:25That's brilliant.
02:26Sebastian Tunecti has made all the difference in this tie.
02:28Made one.
02:29Scored one.
02:30And all of a sudden Celtic have turned this all around.
02:35When it looked like they were heading out to the Scottish Cup.
02:40Never count them out.
02:41Sebastian Tenekty has made all the difference in this tie, made one, scored one, and all of a sudden, Celtic have turned this all around, when it looked like they were heading out to the Scottish Cup, never count them out.
03:03Oh it's a moment of real quality from Sebastian Tenekty, pass, move, pace and finish, he whips it into that near post and McCracken can't react quick enough, you see him there just closing his foot off, looks like he's going to go into the far corner, the goalkeeper's anticipating it, and he whips it into the near, Dundee,
03:33a quick one-two, and they're stunned, wondering what on earth's happened to them.
03:41You can see when you're driving in on the edge of the box there, like that, I've said it before, they need somebody just in that corner of the box, looking for a quick one-two, that gives them the penetration.
03:52Tenekty driving in and showing some real quality to finish it off.
03:55A minute and twelve seconds into extra time, Celtic go in front after
04:05only levelling it in the final seconds, but there could be an opportunity
04:11that's teed up for right, just takes the extra touch, but Callum Jones...
04:17I thought he should have had it himself, I thought he should have had it himself, he was in there,
04:24have the strike, the goalkeeper's backing off, it didn't look as if Cinesello was set, have a quick strike.
04:32Charlie Riley and Imari Samuels are on for Cam Congrave, and Dre Wright for Dundee,
04:39they must have been flattened by that equaliser, and then to have that compounded by that strike
04:46from Sebastian Tenekty, so early on in extra time.
04:52They tough to pick themselves off the floor from here.
05:01Tenekty again.
05:02And it's those sort of moments that the Celtic fans have been crying out for on a more regular basis
05:10from the Tunisian, now here's Negrin.
05:15Halliday with the challenge, Sirachi drives it over the top, it did take a touch on its way through,
05:23and the goalkeeper knocking it over.
05:26Well they're now forcing the issue big time, McCracken having to get called into action.
05:30They've gone quickly here as well, Tenekty, tees it up, and McCown has his shot repelled.
05:38Just look at the difference and the intensity and the tempo.
05:49I mean you've got to say though, I mean, as much as there was lacking in the final third from Celtic,
05:56the character they've shown to come back, it wouldn't have happened.
06:00It would not have happened a few months ago.
06:04And that's the big difference with Martin O'Neill.
06:06Yes, the performance was still lacking, but you know under Martin O'Neill,
06:11he is going to drive the team forward, he's going to put demands on them.
06:15Well, you can see in that huddle just before extra time, the leadership taking over with McGregor, O'Neill and Maloney,
06:27the centre of the focus.
06:30Perhaps Brian Wilson's meeting will go a little bit better now.
06:50Or maybe not.
06:51He's the one that's done all the damage.
07:01Not on that occasion, though.
07:11Surrachi's effort, he's touched over by McCracken.
07:16It's over the top of right.
07:18Dundee need to find a foothold in this game again.
07:23He could not have come any closer to a place in the quarter-finals and it's been snatched away from them.
07:33Dundee need to find a foothold in the quarter-finals.
07:47Forrest.
07:48In Dundee.
07:56Down goes Graham.
07:58Dunder.
07:59Not sure that back out was meant, but it was impressive nonetheless.
08:06Do Dundee have it in them to lift themselves again?
08:12Samuels, just ahead of Jones, Sinasalo calmly out to Trusty.
08:28Scales, the run from Sirachi, Halliday can only present it to Tenecti, the danger man,
08:46straight to Astley, now right, pulled down by Scales, obviously.
08:58There's something that just used to be very much a defender getting pushed into a difficult position,
09:10falling on the ball.
09:12And straight to McCowan, now teed up for Negrin, a third would finish it surely, McCracken keeps Dundee in it.
09:24I don't know if it's the other way around and he's going on his left, but Negrin is putting that past the keeper.
09:28McCracken would have had no chance, he just never looked fully comfortable on his right trying to pick his spot.
09:36and see McCracken checking his angles, checking his shoulders, but they're just too straight from Negrin.
09:48McCracken, McCracken, McCracken with the block, Halliday calmly back to his goalkeeper and then the challenge comes in from McCracken.
10:00Good composure, you've got to say, when he goes up in the air here you can see the two Celtic players just predicting where it was going, trying to anticipate.
10:22McCracken has brought in energy as well, he's feeling the effects of that contact with the goalkeeper right now, a little bit winded the Celtic midfielder.
10:52Trusty, Callum McGregor is actually making the run, but that also frees up the space for Tenecte.
11:14Scales, trusting out to Forrest.
11:22Clipped in by Forrest, onto the edge of the box, Charlie Riley spins away and could be on for a counter here for Dundee with Robertson.
11:37Samuels, Charlie Riley stayed down in the middle of the park.
11:43It's Hamilton, Samuels.
11:55Samuels does well, now Astley.
11:59Halliday has continued, has run well here, here's Brad Halliday, two, three in the middle, blocked off and Dundee have the corner, and yellow card coming for Liam Scales.
12:15I see that challenge when he blocked off Charlie Riley.
12:31Riley trying to force the corner, he can't do it though, Siracchi staying calm.
12:49Riley trying to force the corner.
12:51Riley trying to force the corner, he can't do it though, Siracchi staying calm.
12:55Riley trying to force the corner, he can't do it though, Siracchi staying calm.
12:59Riley trying to force the corner.
13:00He's going to force the corner.
13:01Riley trying to force the corner to the corner, he can't do it though...
13:02Riley trying to ease it, he can't do it though, he keeps the corner down and down.
13:05Riley trying to pandae, who'shall cl셨 позволsomething.
13:06she's very flesbian proade,elovent in the middle, he knows spurs the corner outside...
13:08.
13:18A line for Forrest, I don't know if you're having to react to that as Scott Wright comes in.
13:48Samuels just drifted out of play, perhaps not.
14:00Riley, right, asks Riley to chase that, he's well ahead.
14:18Negrin well tracked by Hamilton, Robertson, Callum Jones, Danda, to Halliday, Ashley, Danda again, now Graham.
14:46Samuels.
14:58Ashley, right, forces it through to Jones and then Riley took it away, it was opening up on the right-hand side for Dundee there.
15:09Halliday with the foul.
15:12Exactly that, Riley.
15:14Riley just taking it off of Jones' boot as he was about to spin it out to Halliday.
15:19And Halliday's out of position.
15:21Tunechti looking to profit from here.
15:24Up against Danda, Tunechti cuts back.
15:27And the deflection on the shot, it can then back off the Celtic winger, so a goal kick.
15:33It will be one additional minute after the final to play here.
15:45It's Ethan Hamilton.
15:49Graham, Samuels.
16:01Interesting.
16:04They play it back to Sinisalo.
16:07Sirachi.
16:08Now Forrest's confirmation of the extra minute gone as the panic in the earth goes.
16:25Celtic's play and it was needs must at the end of the 90 minutes.
16:41Playing in.
16:43Added time and added time.
16:48To get a 96-minute equaliser.
16:53Damu is pushed by Graham.
16:58And Graham.
17:19Trusty.
17:21Forrest's final seconds of this first period of extra time.
17:24And that has now brought to a close.
17:29So Junior Adamu's goal got us to this stage.
17:34Sebastian Tunechti made the equaliser and then scored in the opening minutes of extra time.
17:42The Celtic have turned this one around at half-time.
17:47In extra time, it is Celtic two, Dundee one.
17:51Thank you, Rory.
17:52Yes, what a turnaround in fortunes for Celtic.
17:55In a matter of minutes.
17:57Adamu getting that goal just three seconds before the added injury time was up.
18:03And then Tunechti with his goal.
18:06One minute and 12 seconds into the start.
18:09I mean, it really is a turnaround.
18:11And you have to give credit, Charlie.
18:13You have to give Celtic credit, don't you?
18:15Yeah, I think the credit deserves it.
18:16Martin O'Neill deserves it.
18:17Martin O'Neill deserves it.
18:18A big part of that credit with the subs they made.
18:20I mean, the half-time team talk, the full-time team talk before this just totally changed everything.
18:27Tunechti, come on obviously as I saw Martin O'Neill, the way he spoke to the players,
18:31intensity just lifted it.
18:32I would love to know what he said in there because he was speaking with sheer passion
18:36and you could see the players totally clear as day.
18:39A difference in intensity going into that extra time.
18:42And from Dundee's perspective, I mean, it is so deflating, isn't it?
18:45When you're so close and then to get yourself back up to those levels of concentration for extra time.
18:50I think you said to me, you know, it was three seconds away from the final whistle.
18:54Obviously, it was the final attack.
18:55And Charlie pointed out a technical point there that maybe the centre-half should have been in an area,
19:00stopped the cross, coming across in that front area.
19:03But yeah, it's absolutely deflating to go into any extra time when you think you're through the tie
19:08and then obviously within a minute, two minutes, Celtic take the lead.
19:11So yeah, big job.
19:12But listen, they're still in the game.
19:14There's still 15 minutes to go that they can do something about that.
19:17But yeah, it's absolutely deflating to get into that game like that.
19:20Yeah, it certainly is.
19:21You can see Martin O'Neill there still passionately talking to his players
19:26and it looks there like Colby Donovan's about to come on for Celtic in this one
19:30as they look to hang on to that lead that they fought so hard to get back.
19:35And at the end of the day, in a cup game, Charlie, it's just about being in that draw, isn't it?
19:39It is, and I think tonight we've saw what the strength of a squad can bring.
19:43Tonight he's come on understanding there's competition for places
19:46and that's got the best from him.
19:48I think all the Celtic substitutes have contributed.
19:50I thought McEwen had done really well when he came on.
19:52Left-back Skratch done really well when he's come on as well.
19:55And ultimately that's what's got them back in the game.
19:57But, you know, the game's not over for me.
19:59You know, there's 15 minutes to play here.
20:01That'll be the team talk from the D as well.
20:02They're still in this cup time.
20:04They certainly are.
20:05Well, and it's Celtic who are leading by two goals to one.
20:08Let's rejoin our commentary team for the second half of this extra time.
20:12It's Michael and Rory.
20:14Thank you very much, Emma.
20:16And a couple of changes to start things off in this second period of extra time.
20:21Colby Donovan on for Celtic as Julian Araujo makes way.
20:27And Yandanda also heading off.
20:30Joe Bevan will come on.
20:33Striker, signed from Burnley.
20:37Albion Rovers and Camden Juniors.
20:58Here's Liam Scales.
21:00Samuels with the header.
21:03Down to Jones.
21:05Wild one for him, though.
21:08It was interesting hearing Tony Dockett there talking about
21:17as a very valid point.
21:19There is only one goal in this.
21:21For Dundee, there is still a great opportunity here.
21:25The difficulty is that psychologically, the blow that they've suffered,
21:30you can see it's taken an edge off of them.
21:33Are they going to have the ability to be able to lift the energy levels,
21:38drive themselves up the park and potentially get something else out of the game?
21:43Graham wants the header.
21:46Now come to Astley and Hamilton.
21:49He can get them going.
21:52It's more outstanding play from the Dundee captain.
21:55It really is.
21:56It's the likes of him that, as tired as he is, they need a little bit more from him.
22:01To be able to drive the team forward.
22:06Astley, it's well read by Sirachi, and now McCown, Adamu.
22:16In full flow but well covered by Graham.
22:18It's given away though by Halliday.
22:22Tinecti, what to do for the winger.
22:27He's only able to fashion anything.
22:32Negren.
22:46Now Trosty.
22:50Now trusty, McCown, and Forrest.
23:04McCown has been determined not to be on the end of a defeat against his old club.
23:10He's come on and added a real energy to Celtic.
23:14Surrachi.
23:22Forrest.
23:26Donovan.
23:30Forrest into Negrin.
23:36Surrachi, frustration for Dundee right now, they can't get a kick.
23:44Forrest.
23:48Driving into the space, Negrin back to James Forrest.
23:52Adamu gets turned.
23:54There was never enough space to get the shot away.
23:58And another Dundee change.
24:02Ethan Ingram will replace Luke Graham.
24:08Just wouldn't open up for Forrest and then Adamu.
24:14So Ingram into that back four, he'll play in the right side centre-back.
24:18And that's in the back four, he'll play in the right side centre-back.
24:34into that back four, he'll play on the right-side centre-back.
25:04There's trusty Negrun for MacGregor, Hamilton sensed the opportunity to intercept, Forrest, lovely pass on to MacGregor.
25:21These two mid-week games as well, Celtic against Livingston, Dundee against Falkirk.
25:34Weekend games for Celtic at Kilmarnock, Dundee against Livingston before Celtic face up against Stuttgart in the Europa League,
25:44there's Sirachi and Ingram able to block off his intended cross.
25:52He's had a really tough time with injuries this season, Ethan Ingram, although that's given away by Scales,
25:57straight to right, Bevan alongside him and he just took too long, allowed MacGregor to get back in.
26:04That's a player that's played, what do you say, six minutes, you can tell.
26:09Tired, physically, mentally, just lacking a bit of clarity in terms of what he was looking to do.
26:16Sinasala was a fair distance off his line as well.
26:20Inside the final ten minutes.
26:25Scales.
26:26McGregor to the Irishman.
26:29McGregor again.
26:32McGregor again.
26:46Negrin.
26:49Forrest forces the corner.
26:54Forrest forces the corner.
27:14No, he's on the sidelines.
27:15He's on the sidelines.
27:17He's on the sidelines!
27:18It's the sidelines!
27:19Get the sidelines!
27:20I can't believe him!
27:21Luke McCarren.
27:25Swing this one in, up goes Scales, got the touch.
27:27The glancing touch from Liam Scales, it just needed another.
27:30the touch, the glancing touch from Liam Scales it just needed another, trusty was close, so too Adamu.
27:42Negrin, bit of space for McCown and the reflection comes off Astley, another Celtic corner, it's all their pressure now.
28:00Tenecti out to Sirachi, Celtic go quickly, trying to catch Dundee unawares.
28:11Forrest shifting it onto the right foot, challenge comes in from McCown on Riley, Dundee can't get out right now.
28:30Austin trusty, centre back, taking it for a wonder.
28:52Ingram, for Halliday, Robertson.
29:00Dundee desperate for one moment in front of goal.
29:14Ingram, for Halliday.
29:21Now with Astley.
29:30He's got nothing up front to hit there, either spinning behind or to try and hit someone's feet.
29:46There's a time working against Dundee now.
29:55Sirachi's heading into Tenecti, Bevan has it though, Robertson and Wright, Hamilton.
30:06Adamu just did enough to put him off.
30:07Throw in from John McCracken, and a foul throw.
30:20That will be much to the delight of the home crowd.
30:24Spotted by Douglas Ross.
30:32You don't often see him giving, but it's poor from McCracken.
30:37Cinesalo, the offer comes from McCown.
30:38.
31:03Sinisalo, the offer comes from McCown, he gets a bit of pressure from Robertson,
31:07he gets it back, Scales steps in, Bevan scales with another touch,
31:12he's a bit desperate from Celtic there, Sirachi did he manage to save the corner,
31:16no he didn't, Dundee with a chance to send some of the big boys forward.
31:23Well it's an opportunity just to compose themself, McCracken asking the question,
31:30he's up near the half wheel and he wants to get up there in the box.
31:34See there's over four minutes left, will this be their final opportunity to send one in?
31:47Finn Robertson with the responsibility of the delivery goes front post, he gets a flick on,
31:56and that will be a goal kick, as Junior Adame went down.
32:07McCown, Sirachi back to McCown, bursting into the space, Negrin, Adamu, Junior Adamu!
32:20Well he unleashed it with power, the tie is still alive.
32:37Well it's a free flow and attack, loads of pace from Celtic, lovely little pass from Negrin into Adamu,
32:44nice run there, good first touch but just not able to hit the target.
32:49Donovan turn, that's back with purpose to Sinisalo.
32:56Adamu looking to pin Ingram who's mistimed that, but Halliday, he's tracking in behind him.
33:06McCracken, that'll be, Liam scales his ball, Sirachi went in to make sure he won it ahead of Halliday,
33:23but Robertson now for Dundee, Callum McGregor, that was important for Celtic,
33:29once again the skipper steps up.
33:41Negrin.
33:45Donovan.
33:48Donovan loses it to Hamilton and now Robertson,
33:51bit of space out wide here for right, not much in the middle, needs to buy some time.
33:56And he's failed to do so, McCowan, Forrest now, Adamu in the middle, James Forrest,
34:05might look to do it all himself, James Forrest, and back goes Ryan Astley with 90 seconds remaining.
34:12That all comes from brilliant play from Luke McCowan,
34:16looked as if Scott Wright was going to be able to dive inside,
34:20driving to the box, but Luke McCowan,
34:23invaluable defending there to steal the ball and then unleash James Forrest to break forward there.
34:38Approaching the final minute of extra time, we understand there will be one additional minute
34:43to be tacked on after that.
34:55Now it's Celtic's turn to take their time.
34:57Donovan loses it.
35:09And gives away the free kick.
35:13Halliday just took his eye off it, showed too much to Tenecte.
35:31Celtic have just over a minute to see out now.
35:34As Sirachi will Dundee get another look at it.
35:43Tenecte.
35:46We're now into the one additional minute.
35:53It's given away by McGregor.
35:54Long it goes, the run from Riley.
36:00Riley has Bevan alongside him.
36:03Brought down by Donovan, who's going to go into the boot for that.
36:07And Dundee have a free kick, what?
36:1022 yards out.
36:1220 yards.
36:14Well, it's a lovely pass.
36:16Outside of the boot.
36:18Celtic centre-half's just not covering themselves in glory.
36:21Tired bodies there.
36:22And he does really well just to cut across in front.
36:26Of Colby Donovan there.
36:28And when he's side, a free kick.
36:31And the dying embers of the game here.
36:35I think John McCracken's asking the question, can he take it?
36:38He's dancing around inside Celtic's half.
36:43Well, the 90 minutes were finished with the final kick of the ball.
36:52Will the same happen at the end of 120?
36:56All eyes on Scott Wright.
36:59On Scott Wright.
37:00On his debut, can he do what Junior Adamu did?
37:10Celtic Park holds its breath.
37:15It's Scott Wright.
37:16It's straight into the wall.
37:17It's hammered away by Liam Scales.
37:18A huge roar goes up at Celtic Park.
37:19But they're not done yet.
37:20That's a foul from James Forrest.
37:21Who will also be yellow carded.
37:22Deep into added time and added time again.
37:23We've been here before.
37:24Well, I thought that was going to be it when it went up the park.
37:25But James Forrest fouled.
37:26I mean, you'd think they've got one more chance to thump this into the box.
37:27Well, Riley has just been told.
37:28Well, Riley has just been told by VAR that he's well over the additional time.
37:32McCracken to send this towards the box.
37:36The head of the box.
37:37Okay, and he's up the bag.
37:38That's a foul.
37:39So, James Forrest.
37:40Who will also be yellow carded.
37:41Deep into added time and added time again.
37:42We've been here before.
37:44I thought that was going to be it when it went up the park.
37:47But James Forrest fouled.
37:48I mean, you'd think they've got one more chance to thump this into the box.
37:52Well, Riley has just been told by VAR that he's well over the additional time.
37:57McCracken to send this towards the box.
38:01the box the header goes across Halliday comes in scales away Hamilton over the top
38:09dramatic at the end once again but this time no celebrations Dundee pass up their big chance
38:20and Celtic can breathe an almighty sigh of relief
38:31there's a Celtic park roar the end of an incredible scottish cup tie
38:54Martin O'Neill's side go right to the death and Junior Adamu will not forget his debut
39:06well Halliday does brilliantly keep it in and it drops back for
39:10Ethan Hamilton on his left boot the one that he scored a wonder goal with and he just could not
39:17could not get it on the target so Ethan Hamilton thought he had Dundee into the next round but
39:24deep deep deep into stoppage time at the end of the 90 Junior Adamu came off the bench
39:31to knock in the equalizer set up by Sebastian Cinecti who then in the opening couple of minutes of extra
