BBC man explains what fans did as ‘Celtic march’ to the Scottish Cup final
Celtic supporters packed almost all of Hampden after St Johnstone took a paltry crowd to their biggest game of the season.
And when Jota scored Celtic’s fifth, it wasn’t what the young fan who ran onto the Hampden did, it was what the thousands in the stands did that left Dowden in awe.
Dowden said on the BBC, “This stadium is actually bouncing as Celtic march towards another final.
“You have to feel for the St Johnstone fans, particularly those still here.
“This was meant to be a distraction from their relegation fight. It’s become a horror show. Painful for them.”
