One thing that was clear from the shootout was that Celtic’s players can certainly take penalties, with Hart being the only Celtic player to miss a penalty.
The Hoops will face either Hearts or Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, which takes place on May 26th with the second semi-final tomorrow afternoon at 3pm.
