SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP Semi Final

Venue:  MURRAYFIELD STADIUM (4)

CELTIC  3  HEARTS  0

Scorers: Sinclair, Forrest, Christie

A Great Day in Scotland's National Rugby Ground

Celtic travelled through to Edinburgh for the League Cup semi final not in the best of form and the size of the Hearts support in the huge crowd of 61,161 shows how much they were looking forward to taking on Celtic especially as the semi final is in Edinburgh for a change.

Their optimism proves to be misguided as the game is best remembered for the transformation of Ryan Christie Celtic career, from bit part player to one that delivers on the big occasion.  

A penalty won by Christie and scored by Sinclair, a second from Forrest after a goalkeeping error and a spectacular third by Man of the Match Christie, all in the second half, send Celtic through to their 5th final in a row.
