CELTIC face a delay to learn their Scottish Cup semi-final opponents – if, of course, they triumph at Ibrox tomorrow afternoon.
Martin O’Neill’s men kick off in Govan at 1pm and, hopefully, they will be in the draw alongside Falkirk, who beat Dundee United 2-1 last night, and either Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline or holders Aberdeen who meet at East End Park this evening with a 7.30pm start.
All eyes will be on Paisley tomorrow night when St Mirren face Mark Wilson’s Partick Thistle in the final encounter of the last eight with a 7.30pm commencement.
The ballot will be made after that encounter where, of course, extra-time and penalties will be utilised if required to separate the teams.
LAST-GASP LEVELLER…Junior Adamu flicks in Celtic’s equaliser three seconds from the end of regulation time of their Scottish Cup-tie against Dundee at Parkhead last month. Sebastian Tounekti scored the extra-time winner.
