Celts win Shootout at Ibrox to Progress to Semi + After Match Scenes Reaction

In this episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast, the lads break down a dramatic afternoon at Ibrox as Celtic knock Rangers out of the Scottish Cup after a tense 120-minute battle that ended in a 4–2 penalty shootout win for the Hoops.

We relive a chaotic and exhausting derby that had just about everything — big chances, huge saves, tired legs and nerves of steel from the spot. The discussion focuses on the key performers who dragged Celtic through the tie, including a heroic display from Sinisalo between the sticks, a commanding showing from Trusty at the back, the composure and maturity of young Murray, and Hatate’s quality in the middle when it mattered most.

The lads also talk about the “Martin O’Neill factor” and how his presence around the club during a brutal run of four games in ten days seems to have helped steady the ship and refocus the squad at a crucial point in the season.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a derby without controversy. The team give their thoughts on the ugly scenes after the final whistle as supporters from both sides flooded onto the pitch at Ibrox and had to be separated by police. What sparked it? How serious could the repercussions be? And what does it say about the state of the rivalry right now?

Finally, attention turns back to league business as Celtic prepare for a tricky test at Celtic Park this Saturday. High-flying Motherwell arrive in Glasgow hoping to derail the Hoops’ title charge once again — and the lads preview what Martin O'Neills side will need to do to keep their momentum going.

All that and plenty more on this week’s episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast.
