Celtic eventually prevailed on penalties after a six-goal Hampden classic as the holders progressed to their 60th Scottish Cup final and left Aberdeen heartbroken.
Angus MacDonald's 119th-minute header appeared to have completed a remarkable redemption arc after the stand-in captain's howler gifted Celtic's equaliser to Nicolas Kuhn in the first half. Leighton Clarkson, deployed slightly higher in the Aberdeen attack, wiped the sleeping Celtic defence out in one delicious attack, and Miovski curled the ball around Hart to shock the green and white hordes in the Hampden sun.Much was made of captain Graeme Shinnie's absence, with Angus MacDonald donning the armband in his place. There was no calmness on show when the ball got stuck beneath his feet and Kyogo robbed it.
There was a feeling Celtic would not be so far off it after the break, and indeed, they looked much more menacing.
