    There was a Scottish Cup shock today at the Tulloch Stadium as Celtic defeated Inverness Caledonian Thistle to reach the semi-finals.

    The shock came in injury time when Celtic striker Kenny Miller scored what is generally known as a 'goal' to complete a famous comeback for the bhoys.

    Miller pounced at the death after Celtic had equalised through Steven Pressley with just 3 minutes remaining.

    Graham Bayne had given Inverness the lead despite Celtic making a bright start to the game and dominating possession without creating much in the final third. Miller wasting the only real chance of the 1st half in the 2nd minute after Jarosik played him in but the keeper made a good block.

    Celtic had Vennegoor of Hesselink and Beattie missing thanks to their glass hamstrings, which meant a start for Miller as a lone striker with Jarosik playing just off the front.

    Inverness played their usual game, kicking everything in sight, and Ian Black in particular was lucky to stay on the field after stamping on Naylor and generally kicking Celtic players more than the ball.

    Celtic dominated the game without creating many chances, although Nakamura saw a great shot rattle the crossbar.

    It looked like it was going to be another highland nightmare before Pressley looked to have earned a replay, but in true Celtic style there was a sting in the tail for Charlie Christie's team.

    Inverness CT: Fraser, Tokely, Dods, Munro, Hastings, Wilson (McAllister 86), Black (McSwegan 77), Duncan, Rankin, McBain (Hart 45), Bayne.
    Subs Not Used: Ridgers, McCaffrey.


    Booked: Wilson, Bayne, Black.
    Goals: Bayne 18.


    Celtic: Boruc, Wilson (Sheridan 73), Pressley, McManus, Naylor, Hartley, Lennon, Sno (Gravesen 78), Nakamura, Jarosik (McGeady 65), Miller.
    Subs Not Used: McGovern, Telfer.


    Booked: Miller.
    Goals: Pressley 89, Miller 90.

      Eh Murph, you seem to have misunderstood the context of the headline.

      The 'shock' was Miller scoring, not the result.

      It dozen't matter if we score the winner in the first minute or the 94 minute...they all count..:34:

      Mind you...I thought the Caley goalie was at fault for letting in
      Miller's daisycutter..:87:

      It's a good job we have Mark Brown their best goalie
      Smart piece of business that by WGS....Hamstring the Enemy..:50:

      Write him off all you want bhoys , he pulls on the hoops and with more things coming his way would have scored more .

      Simple as That

      The problem is not Miller

      The problem is the midfield is too lightweight and static,... and they have become detached from the strikers..

      No service to the strikers.....no goals.....simple as that..

      WGS will need to sort it out for the Ranger's game and the San Siro..:drag:
