The Miracle of Hampen - Celtic 0 Ross County 2

Ross County are in the final of the Active Nation Scottish Cup for the first time in their 81-year history after a shock win over Celtic at Hampden.

In one of the most astonishing afternoons the national stadium has witnessed, Steven Craig, son of former Parkhead striker Joe Craig, put the Irn-Bru First Division side ahead in the 54th minute with a wonderful solo goal, bursting through the centre of the Celtic defence before driving past Lukasz Zaluska.

For the first time in seven years Celtic will finish the season without a trophy and County’s win must have surely ended the chances of Hoops’ interim boss Neil Lennon getting the post on a permanent basis.

Celtic fought back but with only two minutes remaining self-confessed Hoops’ fan Martin Scott grabbed a dramatic second to set up a final meeting against either Dundee United or Raith Rovers.
