Celtic edged past St Johnstone with a 1-0 win to book their place in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup.

It took until the 80th minute to break the deadlock with mystery surrounding who put the ball in the net.

The Celtic website awarded the goal to Chris Jullien but although he played a significant role it was Ryan Christie that applied the vital touch.

Jamie McCart was booked for a brutal foul on James Forrest wide on the right with the winger, Callum McGregor and Kris Ajer all getting treatment before the free kick was taken.

Christie whipped the ball goalwards, Jullien ran across the eyeline of Zander Clark and the ball flashed into the net.

Jullien ran away with his arms raised but as he reached towards the free-kick taker he pointed at Christie indicating that he hadn’t got a touch on the free kick.
