Filip Twardzik was the last gasp hero as Celtc’s u-19 side came from 4-1 down to beat Dundee United 5-4 in the quarter-final of the SFA Youth Cup.
Celtic had taken the lead through Geg Spence in the 21st minute but found themselves 4-1 down early in the
second half before the comeback of the season.
Substitute Sean Fitzharris pulled a goal back in the 54th minute with James Forrest netting ten minutes later.
Forrest equalised in the 86th minute but before extra-time could be contemplated Twardzik, who had played the second-half at left-back scored to put Celtic into the semi finals.

Joe, thanks for a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dark and cloudy day……
between the week-end's results and today's financial news……
it's hard being a Tim at the moment…..
but we shall return.( Now who said that first ?)
It really seemed deja-vous yesterday when United scored 3 within 10 minutes of Celtic opening the scoring, 4-1 looked disastrous but the fightback was great as the players recaptured their early season form
