Derek McInnes' side wouldn't be denied and enter the hat for the last eight after another
Rousing Kilmarnock delivered again to sink Treble winners Celtic 1-0 thanks to Marley Watkins' sliding strike to leave the Treble winners suffering Viaplay Cup woe.
Corrie Ndaba was left cursing his luck as his looping header hit the roof of the net. The holders, a title they are accustomed to, stepped it up with Kyogo and in-form Matt O’Riley passing up openings. Debutant Gustav Lagerbielke didn’t have long to wait for a flashpoint as Watkins claimed for a penalty. But the Swede was animated as he told the Killie man to get up and that was a view shared by referee Alan Muir plus his VAR officials.
A brighter start to the second half was almost undone by a shocker of a pass from Hart which almost sparked disaster in the Parkhead backline. But the veteran keeper reminded everyone of his undoubted ability to turn Kyle Magennis' howitzer past his near post. Celtic appeared to be rocking and then were dropped just before the hour mark as the hosts grabbed the lead their endeavour deserved.
