Review
John Doyle's opportunistic goal earns Celtic a replay at Parkhead in front of an all ticket crowd.
Celtic deserved to win and in Lynch and Burns they had the best players on the park.
Strachan cleared off the line twice and Clark made fine saves to give Dons a replay.
In the other quarter finals Partick Thistle beat Dumbarton, Hibernian beat Hearts and Rangers beat Dundee.
