6 big takeaways from famous win

THE shameful scenes after the game have hogged the headlines and the fallout will rumble on for weeks.

But there was also plenty to chew on from the 120 plus minutes at Ibrox as Celtic scraped into the Scottish Cup semifinals.

It almost sounds ridiculous after a campaign full of chaos, with managers coming and going, fan protests and boycotts, sizzling statements and terrible transfer windows but the Hoops could still finish this season with a DOUBLE.

Record Sport looks at the big takeaways from a frantic February, mad March and the dramatic derby...

ANEW SAFE PAIR OF HANDS

Kasper Schmeichel's illness following his nightmare against Stuttgart in the Europa League playoff first leg might just have made it easier for Martin O'Neill.

The manager, below, had a huge decision over the keeper position but Viljami Sinisalo had to come in and the big Finn has delivered.

His performance in Germany in the return was solid, as was his display in tough conditions in the narrow win at Pittodrie.

There was a superb save in the 2-2 league draw at Ibrox but Sunday's display has shown he has the chops to be Celtic No.1.

It wasn't because there were breathtaking saves or last-gasp blocks, it was all the other stuff that he handled so well and took so much of the drama out of the Hoops box.
