Giakoumakis fluffs his lines and it deflects of his arm and into the path of Maeda who brilliantly slides the ball home from a tight angle. But referee Beaton blows the whistle and it's a near miss for the visitors who are excelling at Tannadice. Great play from the skipper and he opens up his body to curl a left-footed effort from 20 yards out and it lands just wide of the post. But he battles on as Celtic find a foothold in the second half. It was on the edge of the box but other players were nearby. A sore one for the Celtic star, there's a worry it might be his hamstring as he holds the top of his left leg. It was bold and brave from the hosts but Celtic have beendangerous every time they attack. Pinball stuff in the City of Discovery but United are right in this. More good play from Forrest and Rogic down the right and the ball makes its way to Taylor who fires a low, hard effort but it lands straight into the gloves of Siegrist. The 19-year-old whips in a good corner and is demanding the ball - Celtic fans would love to see this guy make it. It was dominant stuff from the visitors and they are ready to see who lies in wait. Dembele slaloms towards the United box after Rogic was wiped out and his deflected effort passes Giajoumakis who gets a toe on it to knock it past Siegrist.

OโRiley had taken a short corner to James Forrest, who then teed up the Hoops captain. Thatโs the reward.โ That was the prize on offer here, a semi-final at Hampden, irrespective of who you play against, itโs going to be a massive game.
