Scottish Cup semi-finals await Celtic after heated Rangers triumph

Celtic qualified for the Scottish Cup semi-finals after defeating Rangers in the quarter-finals, and in the penalty shootout, they secured the victory.

In a match that would end 0-0, Celtic left a very competitive match playing it as visitors, and even with great controversies once the victory was given at the final whistle, the pitch invasion would arrive.

Controversy after the end of the match between Celtic and Rangers for the Hoops qualification

Tomáš Čvančara sealed Celtic’s qualification for the semi-finals by taking the last penalty, securing their place in the semi-finals of the championship, which they aspire to at the moment, since they see the Scottish Premiership very far away.

The pitch invasion by Celtic fans ended in a brawl with various aggressions against Rangers fans who also entered the field of play.

Celtic already knows their next rival for this semi-final: St Mirren, pending the schedule being defined. It is already known that both will compete to reach the final and lift a title highly coveted by all Scottish teams.

It is expected that Celtic can carry this match positively, but the consequences of the invasion on the field make it clear that there will be sanctions for the upcoming matches for Martin O’Neill’s team.
