00:00to reach their 62nd scottish cup final as they bid to play in both domestic cup finals for
00:12the 22nd time in their history
00:20it's a long way back after that anthony ralston goal made it 2-0 right on the stroke of half
00:29-time
00:29his first of the season
00:39sinesalo who i think will be under instructions from
00:42mark the kneel to get rid of that ball quickly what makes you think that rory
00:50but it would certainly be a very different dressing room to had it just been one mil
00:55that selting had gone in yeah the two goals a great question now for them and to know that you
01:01know
01:02they go 3-0 the game's over so for samarin the next 10 15 minutes are vital after half time
01:07can they get a full hole in the game and get one back and then psychology of the game will
01:12change again
01:16tamas avicius unable to get the clearance he was looking for and selting come back with
01:24sebastian tenechti
01:26mcgregor tierney
01:35tenechti
01:37tenechti
01:38engels held onto by campbell play on says the referee
01:55tenechti
01:56it's trusting out for arthur
01:59ralston the scorer of celtic second after dies made up
02:04but the opener after 56 seconds ralston what a ball that is out to tenechti
02:12what a ball that's a shame yeah it is i mean it's magnificent for tony ralston
02:17compton's high after the goal what a switch of play
02:21deserve better
02:31hung his head knowing the opportunity was there it was a pass that deserved to open something up for
02:38salting
02:41it's well closed down by phillips
02:45his pass too he had to play earlier i think there was an opportunity phillips just got his head up
02:51a
02:51little bit earlier it was a great run
02:55it's important to all you know he's gonna make it he's gonna make the pass you know he's done well
03:00to win it off mcgregor and that's exactly the scenario that craig would have wanted the second half he's
03:05got to execute it better
03:08i'm going to chase that one out wide and austin trusty has gone down
03:15and that doesn't look good for selting at all remember liam scales
03:19is suspended from this game
03:23looks in a lot of distress
03:25oh it's just down the back of the achilles oh that's a horrible one
03:30i mean a young guy it doesn't mean to but it would definitely be a sore one
03:42oh it certainly looks a painful one for the american international he will
03:47hobble on dain murray is the other center back on the bench for celtic
03:54it's one of them where if you you may be able to run it off or if you run it
03:58it may get even worse
03:59you know with the swelling and the inflammation it really is a sore one you could sweep down the back
04:05well samirin have a corner here but it's heavily contested by sebastian tenechti
04:14right this is important for samirin they're a real threat at the first one
04:18kind of get the delivery right to get one back it's game on
04:23in these situations are absolutely key for them
04:28it's an interesting setup three on the edge of the box
04:33technical john moves it out to o'hara divani
04:39oh again the curling delivery will come all the way over for mandron
04:46slid across it's trusty they knocks it out they'll have another opportunity from the corner of the
04:51near side as trusty concedes the corner trusty does well because that could have went anywhere
04:56he's in the right position he puts out for a corner but it's better move the ball well
05:04he's at that near post where he has to be make sure nothing gets by him
05:09same set up again the three on the corner of the box here
05:21he'll send this one straight in though it's on top of sinisalo who gets the full punch to it
05:28campbell the last man back delivers it back in
05:37samirin just couldn't get the break of the ball
05:39i think you see there you play the ball into the box because a little bit of chaos
05:44something might fall in your favor
05:47that's well worked there in the left
05:50john's delivery is straightforward for sinisalo
05:54yeah but it's better
05:55i know a little bit of work down the left hand side i think
05:59ralston gets something on the cross just to deflect it towards the goalkeeper
06:02i'll have to say sinisalo did great on the previous corner with the punch as well
06:36oh god the sun in his eye line
06:36ralston and then from mandron another potential attack for samirin breaks down
06:44that's some samirin up at the minute you know that's two opportunities that one with phillips
06:48and then that one with i think it was mandrin it's too loose it was a big opportunity because
06:52as well as the slack with his pass and it's an opportunity to counter attack and they're just
06:57the it's poor poor execution again
07:06giving away once again iungas touched though allowed arthur to step in divani for campbell
07:20this is freckleton and phillips john two in the middle to eight four will come all the way over to
07:27the back post and the header finds the back of the net and samirin have got the vital goal that
07:35gets them right back in this contest
07:40brilliant brilliant brilliantly works down this left side again is declan john and we've talked about
07:46putting balls in the box the the two of them have been a threat they haven't been great with the
07:49ball at
07:50their feet but yeah they get a bit of brick uh but the space down the left hand side settling
07:54a little
07:55bit stretch great ball to the far post super header alan absolutely super i mean simplify your game that's
08:01what we're talking about can you make an opportunity down this left hand side it's a lovely ball in from
08:06declan john and you just see mandron there up highest wants to win it tierney can't get can't match them
08:16for the power it's a great header back across good finish it's a magnificent header actually
08:21and michael mandron who was the double goal scoring hero in the semi-final of the premier sports cup
08:29against motherwell he's doing it again in another semi-final and it just makes it that little bit
08:35more interesting absolutely it's exactly what samirin needed and it's the game's on now
08:42now we have to expect a response from something to see what they have got because it's going to get
08:46tested
08:46now they do have a corner so they look for an immediate response
09:06angles to take for celtic curling that one in on top of tamas avicius but they got an important touch
09:14going through the bodies
09:19he actually does really well because he's under a lot of pressure angles whips it in with pace
09:24putting him under pressure stands up to
09:39there's another one that will come in from angles again though
09:50and now they'll go straight back to engels the out swinger
10:07well attacked by the defense
10:15angles though oh what a ball that is out to the belgian and angles trying to slip it across
10:20yang with power
10:21samirin get enough bodies between yang and the goal and knock it out for another corner
10:27not a superb ball from ralston in right the back of the outcoming defense great touch from angles
10:32just to get enough purchase on the uh on the cross well defended from the yak shot there by someone
10:39good response from selden
10:51third corner in quick succession for angles to take and again
10:56up goes mandron to flick it away but it's coming back in from tenekty
11:02divani this time oh it's a loose one from him yang seizes upon it
11:08oh there looks to get turned so to negrin and tamas avicius has the ball in his hands and samirin
11:14survived divani not there when you have to clear your lines you're under pressure don't take risks
11:21that you don't need to just play down the line regroup
11:29well john's done well there but
11:31there will be ralston the wind side ahead of campbell and alan campbell's going to go into the boot
11:45a bit of a lunge it's definitely late just wonder how high it is i bet i'll tell you what
11:56that's the side of the foot it's not too bad actually it's a great decision yeah it's late it's a
12:02yellow card
12:06well campbell who played in the 2018 scottish cup final against celtic
12:12brendan rogers side went on to win
12:16i just think they're i mean that is a risky pass to the edge of your own box when you're
12:22under pressure
12:26you know just when samirin they've given themselves a lifeline in this game
12:31whatever happened to clear in the board exactly
12:34i bet that's too old school now
12:42maeda he's gonna pick that off from gong itch and now feed negrin who looks to send it back to
12:49maeda it's over the top of everyone and now the flag does go on
12:54my head is so sharp he sees look great today honestly i mean see he's a defender
13:00you have to have your head on a swivel
13:06but you're right lane it had been a good reaction from them since the goal
13:15you know when you get a 2-0 and then a 2-1 now and the team that gets the
13:18one goal normally gets
13:20the momentum then selling is taking the momentum away at the minute from samirin and has handled it
13:24this period quite well but samirin with the one goal deficit will always believe they're in this
13:30now Martin O'Neill was just having a word with james forest on the touchline it looks like the winger
13:36will be
13:36coming on shortly celtic have it back with
13:39negrin and chenecte out to the left hand side negrin making up the ground in the middle
13:43yang at the back post it's with negrin maeda now joining in in the middle
13:54negrin across comes freckleton there's a dangerous ball put in there
14:01negrin lucks his head maeda makes the run no fear because he was diving at the feet trying to get
14:09his head on it
14:16donnelly is penalized
14:35negrin angles
14:39negrin angles
14:40yang to clip it back in but into too much space
14:51approaching the error mark
14:57stickler john who goes long
14:58martha and this will be chased down by man drawn out comes sinisalo
15:16it's freckleton the auction out to the left for john
15:21iunger comes short
15:24almost not turned negrin wins it from divani
15:27i mean that's the thing it's nice play good build up play through the lines
15:31something always has to come at the end of it i just feel instead of just playing
15:35too intricate into the lines of young can you just play down the sides and allow runners to run on
15:40here
15:40that's where they got joy from the goals
15:44so sebastian tenecte is the man to make way for james forest
15:47forrest
15:48seven times scottish cup winner forrest
15:52scored in the semi-finals in 2019 and 2024 against aberdeen
16:05and he will play on the right hand side with yang going over to the left
16:09not about something we're bringing on
16:12i'm a big fan of james hubbin for a long time and he can be a difference maker in these
16:16seven type of games there has been so many times in the past over 550 appearances for the club
16:26looking to add a 27th and maybe a 28th major honor as well that's incredible when you talk about those
16:35numbers
16:45yeah back for tierney
16:49and one had gone out to play
17:13with Freckleton, Ralston steadied himself, Campbell helped it back for his first touch,
17:25Declan John, Phillips just took his eye off it, McGregor pounces, Negrin looks to use
17:35the pace of Dyson Maeda, Gogic doing everything he can to get back, Gogic done really well
17:47to slow Maeda down there, Negrin, Yang, a third goal for Celtic, Mike
18:05just kill off the fight in Sumerran, Tierney sends it in, Declan John away, then Devaney finds
18:15Mandron, a few cries of handball, that'll be Ralston's to pick out Forrest but the ball's spinning away from him.
18:48Mahera this time closed down and feeling that desire from Maeda to win the ball to
18:56back in any area of the pitch
19:00Devaney goes down a slight brush from McGregor enough to bring up the whistle
19:05he gets the foul but I just feel Sibi had his head up there he was instantly
19:09looking to go backwards when he receives the ball Sibi just plays it down the
19:13line down the left-hand side are you guys making that channel run he needs to
19:17play up just been a little bit tentative today Devaney in this play you know I've seen a
19:22player before and I've seen it being a lot more you know purposeful he's just a
19:26little bit tentative on his play today
19:30up goes Iunga with Arthur
19:35Celtic free kick Phillips doesn't like it that's the thing if I'm the likes of Iunga
19:40mandron I'm saying to them play the ball down the line let me open my legs let me
19:44run on to something
20:06Iunga to run into space in the middle of Hampden Park
20:13Ralston, Forrest
20:23trustee to step forward
20:28Gogets got there in front of Maeda
20:32mandron can't find a teammate
20:36yang didn't get a chance to isolate Zohara but didn't he do well
20:44now Sinasalo first time clear taking no chances is that what I take no chances when the ball comes back
20:51to you
21:04big touch from trustee on the pass to pick out Tierney now space for Negrin
21:10right ahead of him Negrin looks to lay that off to Engels
21:16you know that's three times in the last sort of five ten minutes Negrin's trying to
21:20ball in really good positions and then hasn't treated anything I just wonder if
21:24Martin would be thinking maybe a Vatatti to come on because the game is opening up a
21:28little bit now well Tierney's gone down on the far side so Meryn continue here with Phillips and Devaney
21:36hit McGregor it's still alive though John to clip on end was brilliantly defended what a header that was from
21:45Kieran Tierney now the free kick is awarded well that would have been controversial if that would have ended up
21:51in the net
21:51be interesting to see that Rory continued on remarkably well and then he's just lambasted the linesman so something's happened
21:58off the ball
21:59we could see him land prostrate earlier on now he's gone down again we'll get a view of it here
22:04Rory
22:15just great strike on the ball and you just see McGregor blocking it
22:24it's a brilliant bit of defending from Tierney because he's under huge amount of pressure and he's done brilliantly to
22:29stay strong and get something on the clearance
22:32yeah because he's switched on because he gets knocked down he gets back up he understands he smells the danger
22:36gets back on to the
22:37towards the line and makes a great block
22:39well both the off the ball incident and the potential handball checked and cleared by the VAR officials Kevin Clancy
22:48and Chris Graham
22:52that all came from Celtic Crick where Negrin's breaking and he's got a man to his left and he misses
22:56the pass
22:57then the game is getting opened up a bit now I'm just wondering if Martin may check as more creative
23:02players
23:03just to see the game out you know the criticisms come from for Benjamin Negrin you know midfielder who scored
23:0919 goals this season
23:10you would have thought would have been taken to the fans hearts but they're not quite convinced by the all
23:16-round game of the Swede
23:20here's Mandron, brings it off well for John, Freckleton, Devaney, Freckleton again
23:35Donnelly there's too much on that back to John unfortunately for Samirin
23:39there's a decent move there for Samirin to move the ball quickly
23:43trying to get Declan John on the ball out wide he sees delivery for the goal
23:47it's just a little bit too much on it from Donnelly there unfortunately
24:03McGregor
24:04McGregor
24:05Ralston coming forward
24:07Forrest outside him
24:18Forrest
24:18needs some more help from Ralston now slipped into angles
24:21he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got
24:30it, he's got it
24:39Negrin, Forrest again, James Forrest
24:44Samirin and another crucial block
25:10John for Freckleton to look up the line for Mandron but Ralston is there, Devaney
25:17now John, Iunga wanted it over the top
25:22he did, he just took a touch too many there, Devaney John but he's been a good out
25:26like that one
25:26down the side, second half
25:28yeah he has been, he's always wanting the ball, he's always want to drive forward
25:33get balls into the box, ask questions
25:35I think that's what you need, especially when it's at 2-1 at this moment
25:40yes, Celtic have got lots of possession and looked dangerous going forward but
25:45still only 2-1
25:48Freakit goes against Donnelly for climbing above
25:52Ingles
25:59I wonder if Craig's think, oh, I was just about to say, I wonder if he's thinking of
26:0270 minutes to have him in Minnesota but looks like he's going to make two now
26:08I think it's the right time to do it, the game is opening up a bit and
26:11some of the Samirin players just looking a little bit leggy
26:14bit of fresh, it's just a thing that Samirin need here
26:21Freckleton gets rid of it just in the nick of time
26:27now looks to deliver that long
26:31trusty
26:33from the first header
26:34I don't think it's a bad idea, you see the long ball going up
26:38can you go and win the second ball, can you go and get on to things
26:42create opportunities out there
26:49well they've now gone forward at the back, they've pushed Donnelly in the midfield
26:51so maybe they are going to go a little bit more direct now
26:54try and get the ball forward, it just means he may be a little bit exposed
26:58he's got a gamble though
26:59nicely done from Forrester Negrin who was trying to release Maeda
27:10Celtic will make the change first with Luke McCown and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain preparing to come on
27:30come on
27:32so Arne Engels the first to make way
27:36and the other one will be Callum McGregor
27:39and the other one will be Callum McGregor
27:43becomes a bit of a surprise
27:46and Tierney takes over the armbands
27:50I just wonder if Callum's carrying something, maybe husband for a few weeks
27:54because he would be the last one wanting to take off unless it's a necessity
27:58yeah you would have thought so
28:00I mean, the amount of games that he plays year on year
28:04you think they'd maybe just have to manage his minutes
28:08I remember he missed the quarter-final at Ibrox
28:12Samirin also making their double change
28:14Kylian Phillips coming off
28:16and
28:17Roland O'Dowoo
28:18has all come on
28:20Joe Niunga
28:21the hero from December
28:23also heads off
28:25and Jake Young
28:25signed from Stevenage
28:28is
28:33to replace him
28:35and also
28:36Jayden Richardson
28:37is on for Alan Campbell
28:39I mean, I think it shows you what Kate McLeish is thinking
28:42the likes of Richardson
28:43he's got that little bit of pace
28:44to go down that right side
28:45you've got Declan John
28:46out here
28:46Adolu can make something happen
28:49Yeah, I think it's a good call
28:51because the game is getting a little bit stretched
28:52so the pace
28:53the extra pace and energy
28:55hopefully will benefit somewhere
28:56and that's what he's hoping for anyway
29:09Negrin O'Hara
29:09won that and it was a high boot from Benjamin Negrin
29:13I think as well it allows O'Hara to go back into that middle
29:18spot
29:18he'll be the one that was playing that Kylian Phillips role
29:21he'll try and get forward
29:31No! No! No! No!
29:40Declan John who provided the cross for Mandron's goal
29:45he got Samaran back in this semi-final
29:54the ball
29:54the rangers man out
29:55takes this
29:57and so Hanna's header is over the top
30:00should have done better
30:01he should have done better
30:02he should have done better
30:02because he's got the
30:03not even the jump
30:04he's doing it from a standing position
30:06so he should get better control
30:11across the goal Alan
30:12yeah that's what I was thinking
30:13I mean it's very difficult
30:15the ball's quite high
30:16yeah it is
30:17there's not much piece on it's dying on him
30:18but just help it on
30:19or get it back across the goal
30:21but I think he should do more with it
30:23it's a bit of a waster
30:29John able to see that one out
30:38of course the Premiership has got to its split stage and we'll start off our coverage in the bottom six
30:44with a Dundee derby from Tanadice next Sunday from 2 o'clock and then the retention will turn to bottom
30:51of the table Livingston who hosts Aberdeen on the 1st of May from 7.45 that's a Friday night game
30:57and then Sunday the 17th of May from 2 o'clock Livingston against Kilmarnock
31:01all those games on Premier Sports 1 and you can also tune in to all the coverage of the review
31:08of the weekend and all the talking points of Scottish football
31:12and all the talking points of Scottish football
31:13Scottish football social club hosted by Daryl Curry every Monday on X and YouTube
31:25This is O'Mara
31:27which is O'Mara
31:28and the Frickelton
31:29and John
31:33helps it up to Young
31:35and one back by Devaney and O'Hara
31:40the Dawu with Richardson outside
31:43Samiran flooding players forward here
31:45and Dawu
31:46On the overlap and the low ball in, it's cut out by Trusty
31:50And the flag will go up here, it's a wasted opportunity for Samaritan
31:56Yes, the wrong ball, he's got to get into the box, the other thing is, is that like going to
32:00sleep here a wee bit
32:01And all of a sudden Samaritan have a bit more possession, a bit more territory
32:04And you can see what they're trying to do as well, Richardson's out wide and high
32:10Declan John's out here and the left wide and high
32:12So they're trying to get in behind them, they're trying to make something happen
32:15Adobo just coming off the play, spinning on the ball, trying to feed it out wide
32:20Probably feel that if they can get it out wide and get balls into the box, then they can cause
32:24problems
32:25It's just been a bit of a lull in Celtics' play, yeah
32:40It's now with Tierney McCowan
32:47Richardson long, that's a great touch for a man drawn
32:53Looks like Chamberlain was covering the run of Adobo, and now he could be in trouble
33:01Celtic managed to play their way out, but not that way
33:06O'Hara, Freckleton will find John in acres of space here, Samaritan have 4-5 in the box for Declan
33:14John if he can get a cross out, Ralston has done really well, he's won the free kick as well
33:19He's great defending from Ralston, because he's not sure if he's going to go down the line or cut inside,
33:25he knows how dangerous he can be, uses his body, uses his strength
33:30Doesn't allow him to get the cross in, I mean as a pullback, that's your first and foremost job, don't
33:35allow crosses, that's really well
33:37Yeah, but again it comes from a really slack pass from Yang, through the middle of the park
33:42And then Samaritan able to break, probably Declan made the wrong decision there, maybe just think about getting it out
33:48of his feet and crossing it
33:50But excellent defender from Tony Ralston there, he's had a fine second half
33:56Martin O'Neill did say in the lead up to this game that the Celtic side are not good enough
34:00to think about winning the Scottish Cup just yet
34:04They've got to make sure they get through this tie
34:11Mandron
34:14Oh he's done well
34:15All of a sudden, Samaritan flows from the game here
34:19This is Young
34:21It will come to O'Hara
34:26There's been a real shift in the momentum in this game
34:28You know what I think it has helped as well, Mandron, the ball's gone up, it's sticking
34:32You see the one off his chest, he lays off, there again, he's using his strength
34:37He's holding it up, allowing his teammates to get forward
34:40And create opportunities
34:44He's with Adowu
34:47John with space to cross and target that back post again
34:53Mandron just couldn't control it, they'll have to settle for the throw
35:09Ten minutes to play
35:11Ten minutes to play
35:26I think Alan's made a good point about the substitutions as well
35:30There's a right time to do it for Craig
35:32And they've really given the impetus here to Samaritan, it's a really good spell for them here
35:41That's the Samaritan
35:42That's the Samaritan fans that respond
35:44Trying to merge their team on to an equaliser
35:49John takes it left-footed
35:51It's an excellent punch from Sinisalo
35:54The ball into a really dangerous area
35:57And then an awful pass out from Adowu
36:00It's a great punch under pressure, he's done that a couple of times
36:14The ball, basically, is exclusively in the Celtic half
36:18In the last sort of five or ten minutes
36:19Someone from the Celtics midfield needs to get a foothold on the ball
36:23And start stringing some passes together and getting them further up the field
36:26They're losing the second balls and they're losing the physical battle at the minute
36:31Well, both benches are about to make a change
36:40Conor McMenamin will come on to replace Liam Donnelly
36:47And Kelechi Iannaccio and Marcelo Siracchi are also coming on for Celtic
37:09Martin O'Neill did this at Dundee a couple of weeks ago with Iannaccio and Siracchi
37:12And had a real good positive impact on the result and the win for Celtic
37:17So I think he's looking for more of the same because just their energy levels have dropped here
37:35So on comes the Uruguayan International joining the Nigerian International
37:41Siracchi and Iannaccio on for the rest of this one
37:53The second game behind him
37:54John, Mandron, the decision goes against Ralston
37:57Gordon!
38:19Seven minutes left to play.
38:30Hoping for a special finish.
38:34Out comes Sinis Salo, it's not what was required from Declan John.
38:40No, it has to be better.
38:41I mean, from there you look to go towards the back.
38:44Stack and maybe head it back across.
38:46It's wasteful at this time of the game.
38:54Boggich wins it, Negrin to pick up,
38:57but at least some minutes ball, McMenamin.
39:01Can't keep the ball still to get them in it, just keep giving it away.
39:04Keep invading, you know, the pressure to come back at them.
39:08Good spell for St Mirren, gotta believe they can get something out of this now.
39:11Need a bit of quality.
39:14Malston won it, but Mandron keeps it alive.
39:17John!
39:19Deflection on the cross from Oxlade-Chamberlain.
39:30Lara gets it back in quickly for Freckleton.
39:43Finds the safe pass in Devane.
39:46There's not many options for Samirin.
39:51Goggich decides to send the raking ball out to the right-hand sides.
39:56Down he goes, and it is a goal kick.
40:08Richardson takes a good touch here.
40:10Effectly, he just leans on him.
40:12I mean, there's nothing in that for me.
40:16They have looked, and they're happy.
40:19There's nothing more.
40:23Weird ball from Goggich.
40:24It's a play.
40:25I just thought the touch made it a bit heavier.
40:27Coming for shoulder a little bit.
40:28He takes it on his chest.
40:30It may have been able to cushion it, but I'm going to cross him.
40:33I think it's definitely out-balls.
40:35Fawcett Mirren when you look at Richardson on one side.
40:38And John on the other.
40:40Trying to get in behind this Celtic defence.
40:44Feeling with Celtic at the moment.
40:46They're just trying to get themselves over the line here.
40:49Just trying to see it out.
40:51You know, still.
40:52At least maybe made ten minutes to go with extra time.
40:59Goggich, Sirachi.
41:00Wins it.
41:01Now McCowan.
41:03Sirachi.
41:04Block comes in from Richardson.
41:07Celtic show their attacking teeth.
41:26He'll talk about the possibility of winning this in the springboard that it could give for their title push in
41:34the league as well.
41:34Five games remaining there.
41:40It's a huge three and a half minutes for Celtic here.
41:47Space down the right-hand side for Samirin to attack once more.
41:53Sirachi struggling.
41:54Samirin with the chance.
41:57And it's Sinisalo who comes on not once but twice.
42:01Mandron who was with a second effort.
42:04That was absolutely brilliant player from Samirin.
42:06Outstanding work down the right-hand side.
42:09Squares off Sirachi.
42:10Beat him.
42:11Great comeback.
42:12I don't think that Mandron could have given enough purchase on the shot.
42:15Brilliant player.
42:16Celtic look leggy.
42:18They do it, don't they?
42:19Yeah, Samirin looked the stronger team in terms of legs.
42:23I just think the substitutes as well has really added something.
42:27John.
42:29That's a bold header.
42:33It's another strike that comes in.
42:35They will go out in another corner.
42:37This time conceded by Arthur.
42:39Just ramping up the pressure now.
42:41The final few minutes.
42:43This is exactly what Craig McLeish would be wanting to see from his team.
42:49The suggestion right now is that there will be four additional minutes at the end of the 90.
42:56Just over two remaining before that board goes up.
43:00Again, it's on top of Sinisalo.
43:02And with Gogic.
43:05Mandron and O'Hara will recover it.
43:10Devani.
43:11Devani.
43:12Pete Cianaccio.
43:13Negrin gets a touch.
43:14On from Gogic.
43:18And that will be a Celtic free kick.
43:22It's a silly foul to give away.
43:24Takes momentum away from Sinisalo.
43:26Gives Celtic a breather.
43:52It's a nervey Celtic end.
43:54There's no doubt about that.
43:55There's no doubt about that.
43:56It's a nervey Celtic end.
43:58Hoping for that final whistle.
44:14Gogic.
44:15With the header.
44:17Indoro will pick up.
44:18Young on the chase here.
44:20Arthur.
44:21Looks excellent defending from him because he looked in a bit of bother for a moment.
44:28Freckleton.
44:31John.
44:33This time it's Mandron with the run.
44:35Oh no, Arthur's in trouble now.
44:36It's Mandron.
44:38Can he pick out a teammate?
44:39Only trusty in the middle.
44:42It's a great touch from Young but the cross doesn't match it.
44:45It just gets it all wrong.
44:47There's so much pressure building there.
44:51You see Arthur coming out.
44:54He tries.
44:55He tries to clear the ball but just doesn't get anything on it.
44:58It's all about can you pick the right pass?
45:02Trusty does well to block it.
45:04They have defended big moments well, Sel.
45:06Like the two, you know, well Trusty and the goalkeeper.
45:09Particularly on the set players.
45:11But they look, they look rocky.
45:14Yeah.
45:15They look, you know, a little bit, like I said, they look leggy.
45:18Second best at the minute.
45:19And hanging on.
45:21Madron in behind here.
45:22Madron!
45:262-2.
45:28And it's stoppage time.
45:31Mikel Mandron's double will surely force extra time.
45:38Sumerran.
45:40They looked out of it at half time but what a second half performance.
45:46Mikel Mandron comes up clutch in stoppage time.
45:54It's another semi-final double for Mandron.
45:59Well, I hear the certology is all but it was coming.
46:02It's a great hook on, I think, by Young.
46:04What a finish.
46:05And Arthur's, you know, really slow on the turn.
46:08Mandron gets between the two centre halves.
46:10It's a magnificent finish on his right foot.
46:13But it's McClellan, Allen.
46:14It comes from a Celtic throw in.
46:16I mean, that's the worry.
46:17It goes back to Freckledon.
46:19He plays the ball on.
46:21But, I mean, the finish.
46:24Arthur's slowly reacting.
46:25The finish is absolutely sublime, to be fair.
46:28I don't know where the Celtic team have gone the last 20 minutes.
46:31You know, they've been one-paced.
46:33They've been second-pest.
46:35Sumerran, they prefer, have tried to force the game.
46:37The subs have been giving them energy and impetus.
46:40But Celtic have let control, you know, completely different from the first half.
46:44And they've let this game get away from him.
46:53Well, what a finish to the 19th.
46:55Alex Gongis was booked in the celebrations.
46:59Mikkel Mandron this time.
47:02Sumerran's hero.
47:06And you have to now wonder about what sort of a response Celtic can muster,
47:12because as the game was closing out there,
47:16they looked like they were stumbling to the line,
47:18just hoping for that full-time whistle.
47:20They couldn't see it out.
47:22All the momentum was with Sumerran,
47:24and they'll look to continue that from here.
47:35Negrin and O'Hara go for it.
47:38It's Freckledon that sends it long.
47:40Out comes Sinisala, who'll get there first, crucially,
47:44and find James Forrest.
47:46That's the difference from a Sumerran point of view,
47:48they're aggressive, they're on the front foot.
47:50They're getting tight to Celtic, they're not giving them a moment.
47:55I think Sumerran have done really well in this second half.
47:57They have, because to me, when you think in Celtic get the two-go lead at half-time,
48:01you think they're on easy street, but it's been a great response from Sumerran in the second half,
48:05but it does raise concerns about Celtic.
48:09You know, their mentality and their physicality throughout the second half,
48:12and their lack of leadership out there as well.
48:15The door has done really well, good feet for Mandron,
48:19could Sumerran win it?
48:20Well Sinisalo claims it uncleanly.
48:25Here's Sirachi, Maeda ahead of him.
48:30Sirachi's making some run, trying to keep up with Maeda,
48:33now he passes him, Sirachi has it.
48:37Oh, it's Strickleton's intervention, Celtic have a corner,
48:40and all of a sudden it's Celtic who fancied that they could get a winner before extra time.
48:46He dropped from here, it was just going to drop Dihanaccio.
48:49It's that great defence of Haeda.
48:56Well, it's become some semi-final, this one.
48:59Sumerran from two down.
49:01They look dead and buried.
49:10Negrin to take this.
49:12Front post, can't get past the first man.
49:16McCowan is over the top.
49:19He wasn't far away, he met it well.
49:25Good touch out of his feet, great strike.
49:28He's just rising.
49:32Well, I think we've got to also pay testament to Samir.
49:39The Celtic really have not tested the 17-year-old debutant.
49:44That's a great point.
49:45He's had a very comfortable second half.
49:51Right off it as well.
49:53You know, the McGregor's gone off the field and all of a sudden,
49:56the midfield looks, you know, bereft of any sort of control.
50:01Well, you wouldn't have thought that would be possible at half-time.
50:05Celtic were two up.
50:06But Mikel Mandron had other ideas.
50:10He got the first one early on in the second half, then the second in stoppage time.
50:15Samirran forcing extra time here at Barclays Hamden.
50:21Another 30 minutes of this Scottish Cup semi-final to come.
50:26As Celtic and Samirran go to battle once again at the National Stadium.
50:32At the end of the 90 minutes, it's Celtic 2, Samirran 2, an extra time is to come.
