Celtic survived a major scare against Dundee in the Scottish Cup fourth round, eventually securing a 2-1 victory after extra time at Celtic Park on Saturday. The match was a dramatic affair, with Dundee threatening to cause a significant upset.

The home side dominated possession with 51% of the ball, but Dundee proved resilient and created several opportunities. Celtic registered 23 shots, with 8 on target, while Dundee managed 9 shots, 2 of which tested the goalkeeper.

Dundee took the lead in the 31st minute through Tony Yogane, stunning the Celtic fans. The visitors defended resolutely, frustrating Celtic's attacking efforts for much of the match. As the game wore on, it looked increasingly likely that Dundee would secure a famous victory. However, deep into stoppage time, Celtic's January signing, Junior Adamu, making his debut, popped up to score a dramatic equalizer, salvaging a 1-1 draw and forcing the game into extra time.

The goal injected new life into Celtic, and they pushed hard for a winner in extra time. Their pressure eventually paid off when Sebastian Tounekti found the net, giving Celtic a 2-1 lead. Dundee, to their credit, refused to give up and pushed for another equalizer. Ethan Hamilton had a shot that went high, and Ryan Astley missed a header.

Celtic managed to hold on, securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup. The win came as a huge relief for interim boss Martin O'Neill and his players, who were moments away from a humiliating exit. O'Neill made several changes to his lineup, with Viljami Sinisalo starting in goal and new signing J. Mvuka making his debut.

The match featured a number of substitutions and yellow cards. Celtic's James Forrest and Colby Donovan were booked, while Celtic made a concussion substitution, replacing Kieran Tierney with Marcelo Saracchi.

Ultimately, Celtic's quality and persistence saw them through, but Dundee can be proud of their performance, pushing the favorites to the very limit. The victory keeps Celtic's hopes of silverware alive, while Dundee return home with disappointment but also with their heads held high.
