We're at stoppage time, equaliser.

But Celtic have just put their foot on the gas and taken it away from the League Cup winners.

Kalecia Henacho off the bench to score twice.

Luke McCowan also off the bench to get one in between that.

Then Benjamin Negrin's 20th goal of the season for the Herbs.

four goals squeezed into an incredible six minute spell in the middle of this first half of extra time Scott Allen in your long career have you ever seen 15 minutes like that?

You see the involvement of Iheanacho with those two goals, Luke McCown's got one, James Forrest has sparkled since he came off the bench.

Are these guys that Martin O'Neill might need to turn to now in the run-in towards this Premiership title, Scott?

It is Celtic 6-2, Andrew Celtic as you see back here at Hampden for the Scottish Cup final on May the 23rd.

Martin O'Neill versus Neil Lennonston-Firmland, the saucer of O'Neill.

Three Scottish Cup wins with Celtic versus the apprentice Lennon.

Eight Scottish Cup wins as player and boss at the hoop.

O'Neill's side made heavy weather of this semi-final for long spells but four goals in an incredible six minute period in the first half of extra time won it for the hoop.

So a goal at either end of the first half

by Dyson Maida and Anthony Ralston at Celtic Cruising Saints lost goalkeeper Ryan Mullin between those goals to 17-year-old Grant Tamasovicius on for his debut but incredibly St Mirren rallied in the second half Michael Mangron hauled them back into the game when he planted a header back across Fuljami Sinisalo and then Mangron lashed an equaliser past Sinisalo as the game lapsed into stoppage time

That sent us to extra time but Celtic simply moved through the gears, Kelechi Iheanacho and Luke McCown both off the bench to net in quick succession to finally shake off the stubborn Saints.

Iheanacho then fired another high pass to teenage keeper Tamir Senezius before Benjamin Nigren hit his 20th goal of the season.

It all started in chaotic fashion, 58 seconds in, St Mirren keeper Ryan Mullan took a pass back from Miguel Freckled and a clumsy touch closed down by Maida, the clearance hit the Celtic centre forward and spun into the net and the angles then struck the post in 8 minutes and that...

just before Mullen went down injured he had to come off with Thomas Avesias on for his first team debut the team keeper made fine saves to deny Nigren and Maeda there was then a corner at the other end of Ojamie Sinisalo had to excel with a great save from a header from Liam Donnelly Yang Hyun Joon then headed against the bar after 37 minutes but Celtic went two up

3 minutes into stopping time at the end of the first half, Yang the creator teeing up Anthony Nelson for a fierce right foot finish on the angle off the underside of the bar Celtic looked to be cruising at that stage but they collapsed in the second half 53 minutes it was 2-1 a deep cross on the left by Declan John, the header at the back post by Mandron Sinisalo made a double save at 87 to keep out Mandron
