Celtic required extra time to secure their place in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals after a stunning comeback against Dundee, while St Mirren, Dunfermline Athletic, and Partick Thistle also progressed to the last eight.

The Bhoys needed two goals in the final minute of normal time to level the score before Junior Adamu's late equalizer sparked a dramatic extra-time period. Sebastian Tounekti sealed the win for Celtic with his winner just 11 seconds into the additional period, sending the half-empty Celtic Park crowd wild.

In an unusual atmosphere that saw fans from The Celtic Fans Collective boycott the game due to their discontent with the club's board, Martin O'Neill's team showed signs of lethargy until Adamu's late equalizer. However, after taking the lead, they fought hard to hold on for a hard-fought victory.

St Mirren also secured a spot in the quarter-finals by beating Airdrieonians 2-1 on Friday evening, while Dunfermline Athletic edged past Kelty Hearts 2-0 in the Fife Derby. Partick Thistle squeezed through against fourth-tier Elgin City with a 3-2 win.

The last eight will see Celtic face an unknown opponent from Stenhousemuir v Falkirk on Sunday, following which Rangers welcome Queen's Park to Ibrox and local rivals meet at Ochilview Park.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that game at Celtic Park 🤯! I mean, Dundee was completely outplayed for most of the match but they found a way to come back and level it. The atmosphere must've been pretty tense with all those fans from The Celtic Fans Collective not showing up 😐. But hey, you can't take anything away from Celtic's squad - they showed some serious grit and determination after going down 2-0 at one point. That equalizer from Junior Adamu was pure magic ✨! And Sebastian Tounekti's winner in the extra time just sealed the deal 💥. One thing that did strike me is how different the tone of the game was compared to the usual Celtic-Park energy 🤔. Maybe it'll make for a more interesting quarter-final?
 
I'M SO STOKED THAT CELTIC MANAGED TO COME BACK FROM BEHIND AND WIN THAT GAME!!! 🤯 IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE ALL FUELED BY COFFEE AND DETERMINATION OR SOMETHING 😂. I FEEL BAD FOR THE FANS WHO BOYCOTTED, THOUGH - I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH DISAPPOINTMENT LIKE THAT. BUT CHERIO CELTIC!!! 🍀 THEY DESERVED THAT WIN AFTER COMING BACK SO STRENGTHFULLY. AND NOW THEY GET TO PLAY STENHOUSEMUIR IN THE NEXT ROUND... LET'S SEE HOW THEY DO AGAINST THEM! 😃
 
OMG u guys cant believe wat happened in that match lol!! so like celtic was down 1-0 but they came back from the dead and scored 2 goals in like 1 min lol Adamu's goal was insane!!! 🤯😱 I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole extra time. And can u believe the atmosphere was kinda weird with the fans boycotting cuz of the board drama? idk about that but hey celtic won so who cares right? 😂👏 anyway cant wait to see wat happens in the next round esp that match between stenhousemuir and falkirk is gonna be lit 💥🔥
 
What a game!! 😲 I was like "what's going on?!" when Celtic was down 2-1 in the last minute! But then that Adamu guy comes out of nowhere and scores an equalizer 🤯. I mean, I've seen some crazy comebacks in my time but this one takes the cake 🍰. And to make matters worse for the opposing fans (that are boycotting the game lol), Celtic ends up winning it all in like 11 seconds 💥! It's gonna be a wild ride till Sunday when Celtic faces whoever comes out of Stenhousemuir and Falkirk... can't wait to see what happens 🤔
 
lol did anyone else think the atmosphere was kinda weird at Celtic Park tho? like, fans boycotting the game over the board stuff is one thing but it felt like they were all just waiting for someone to score so they could turn up and celebrate 🤔 meanwhile, Dundee's just sitting there wondering what hit 'em
 
I'm so done with these extra-time periods in the Scottish Cup 🤯. It's like, can't they just make up their minds already?! Celtic needed 2 goals in the last minute of normal time to even level the score... and then another goal in like 11 seconds into the first extra period? I mean, I get it, drama is good TV, but seriously, how do you plan a comeback like that?! 🤔

And what's with the half-empty crowd at Celtic Park? Like, who comes to watch the Bhoys play if they're not even going to show up in full force? It's like they knew something was fishy... anyway, back to these extra times - can't they just have a proper shootout or something?! 🏆😩
 
Omg, what a match! Celtic was on the brink of disaster but that equalizer from Junior Adamu was pure magic 🤩🔮. And to be fair, it's not like they didn't deserve it after coming back so strongly in normal time. Those fans who boycotted the game due to their concerns about the club's board might have had a point though... the atmosphere at Celtic Park looked kinda empty 😐.

But anywayz, congrats to Martin O'Neill and his team for grinding out that win! And what a turn of events for St Mirren, Dunfermline Athletic, and Partick Thistle - they all made it through to the quarter-finals. It's gonna be a wild ride in the Scottish Cup now 🎉.
 
omg i cant believe how the game ended 🤯! that was insane! i mean, they were so down but then that last minute comeback was lit 🔥. it just goes to show that football can be all about the fans' spirit, right? and even with some fans boycotting the game, Celtic still managed to pull off an epic win 😅. its kinda crazy how much drama there is in those games tho... anyhoo, cant wait to watch sunday's match! stenhousemuir v falkirk looks like it's gonna be a tough one 🤔
 
I cant believe the drama that went down at Celtic Park! 😱 Those fans who boycotted the game are really missing out - it was like a completely different atmosphere in there after Adamu scored that equalizer... it was all about the team fighting back and never giving up. And then Tounekti comes on and seals the deal just seconds later? wow, what a finish! 🤯 The St Mirren win is pretty cool too, they were one of the big underdogs going into this game but they showed heart and determination to come out on top. And Congrats to the teams that made it through - can't wait for the quarter-finals to kick off! 💪
 
OMG, what a game!!! 🤯 I was watching the highlights with my mates and we were all going mental! 😂 The way Celtic came back from behind is just insane, I mean who expects that from Martin O'Neill's team? 🤔 It just goes to show how unpredictable this tournament is. And poor Celtic Fans Collective, can't say I blame them for feeling frustrated but boycott the game? That's some serious drama 🙄. Anyway, on to the good stuff! The Bhoys are through and that win will give them a much-needed confidence boost heading into the last eight. Bring it on! 💪
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that crazy comeback by Celtic 🤯👏. The atmosphere in the park was so empty, but the team still managed to deliver an incredible performance. It's a shame about those fans who boycotted due to their concerns about the club's board, though 😔. Anyways, it's been an amazing week for Scottish football, with St Mirren and Dunfermline Athletic also making progress 🎉. I'm curious to see how Celtic will do against Stenhousemuir on Sunday - can they keep that winning feeling going? 💪
 
OMG 🤯 just watched that crazy game between Celtic & Dundee 😲 Adamu's late equalizer was insane! But y'know what really got me? The atmosphere at Celtic Park was so low-key considering the fans from The Celtic Fans Collective were out 👀🚫 I mean, I get it, they're unhappy with the club's board, but a boycott like that is gonna hurt the team more than help 'em 🤔. But hey, in the end, the Bhoys bounced back & sealed the win 💪 Now, on to the quarter-finals! Who do u think Celtic will take down next? 😂
 
Ugh, what's going on at Celtic? They really need help coming back in a game like that 🤯. I mean, you'd think they'd be more prepared with the talent they have. But for real though, I'm glad they got the win, but it was super dramatic and I can see why some fans wouldn't want to attend 🙅‍♂️. It's crazy how passionate those Celtic Fans Collective folks are about their team - not my cup of tea, but you feel me 👍. St Mirren and Dunfermline Athletic played some solid football too, and Partick Thistle got the win they needed 💪. Now that Celtic has made it to the quarter-finals, they'll have to step up their game if they wanna take it all the way 🚀.
