Lynch, Dalgish and Bone with a penalty got the goals).

- Johnstone fielded at inside right (number 8).
- Jimmy Quinn wears the number 7 although he plays left back with Jim Brogan playing in midfield.
- Deans comes on and scores dramatic late equaliser to take the game to extra time and Brogan is the unusual hero with the winner.
Review
In the last minute Tommy Gemmell blundered and lost possession to Dixie Deans who scored to make extra time.
Gemmell was again at fault when Johnstone stole possession and cretaed the winner for Brogan.
Scott had two great chances to win when leading but missed most chances.
Celtic took full advantage of the altered offside rule and left Lennox and Wilson up towards the 18 yard line all the time as in the first game against Airdrie.
The other semi saw Rangers beat Hibernian 3-2 at Easter Rd .
Celtic now to play Rangers at Hampden on Saturday in the final.
