Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as Celtic booked their place in the Scottish Cup final with a 6-2 extra-time win over St Mirren.
The Nigerian forward came off the bench to deliver a decisive contribution, helping Celtic reach the final for the fourth consecutive season.
Iheanacho turns tie in extra time
Celtic appeared in control early on, with Daizen Maeda scoring within seconds before Anthony Ralston doubled the lead before halftime.
However, St Mirren responded after the break through Mikaël Mandron, who scored twice to force extra time.
Introduced in the 83rd minute, Iheanacho immediately changed the game. He restored Celtic’s lead in the 96th minute before adding a second five minutes later, effectively ending the contest.
Celtic capitalised on that, scoring additional goals in quick succession to secure a comprehensive victory.
Focus shifts to final showdown
The result keeps Celtic on course for another domestic trophy as they prepare to face Dunfermline Athletic in the final.
