Hearts stun Celtic in semi

15 April 2012 15:17

Hearts will play Hibernian in the final of the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1896 after substitute Craig Beattie's last-minute penalty gave the Gorgie side a shock 2-1 win over his former side Celtic at Hampden.

A minute after the break Rudi Skacel raced on to a pass from Beattie, who had replaced Scott Robinson at the interval, to fire Hearts into the lead.

Four minutes from time Celtic striker Gary Hooper headed in a Charlie Mulgrew cross, but in the final minute referee Euan Norris dramatically awarded Hearts a penalty, when Marius Zaliukas' shot hit the arm of Joe Ledley, and Beattie scored from the spot.
