Celtic’s win against Rangers in the Scottish Cup grabbed headlines for the wrong reasons but there were some moments that went unnoticed.
Fans invaded the pitch at full-time after Tomas Cvancara scored the winning spot-kick in front of the Copeland Stand. Celtic didn’t register a shot on target over 120 minutes of action but were still able to get the win.
It was a nervy occasion for everyone involved, and 67 Hail Hail has picked out three moments from the Hoops’ unique angle video.
Reo Hatate’s penalty shootout nerves
Penalties are nerve-wracking for fans, but also the players.
Reo Hatate stepped up in Callum McGregor’s absence and worked tirelessly in a more defensive role than usual.
He was one of those who took a penalty but before he stepped up, he could barely watch James Tavernier take his. While his teammates looked on, he looked down before the Rangers captain hit the crossbar.
Viljami Sinisalo winds up Rangers fans
Viljami Sinisalo was voted as the man of the match by 67 Hail Hail fans on TalkingPoints and those thoughts were justified.
Sinisalo didn’t save the two missed shots from Rangers players but didn’t hesitate in goading the Rangers fans and players when they did miss.
The Finland international appeared to mutter something in the direction of Tavernier before turning to stare down the Rangers fans.
Julian Araujo and Martin O’Neill’s warm embrace
When Julian Araujo isn’t trolling Rangers fans, the Mexican is warming the hearts of Hoops supporters with his passion and love for Celtic.
Supporters want Araujo to stay permanently and that feeling would have only grown after they saw the defender go and hug Martin O’Neill at the full-time whistle.
When Alistair Johnston returns to fitness, would you pick him over Julian Araujo?
O’Neill and Araujo have developed a strong bond and seeing the two of them together warms the heart.
