    It's been some day of Scottish Cup quarter-final drama in Edinburgh and Dundee.

    Hibernian booked their semi-final spot with a 4-0 win over Berwick Rangers, before Dundee United and Celtic drew 1-1 at Tannadice in as dramatic a game as you'll see in a while.

    The semi-final draw was also made and Hibs will face Falkirk, with Inverness CT or Raith Rovers meeting Dundee United or Celtic.

    "It was strange that the initial challenge didn't get dealt with by the referee. The initial challenge on Nadir was a bad one.

    "I feel sorry for Paton, but I'm proud of the players, how they responded.

    "Absolutely (we will appeal the red card) as Paul Paton was not involved in the incident.

    "I don't think he (Aidan Connolly) dived. I think Anthony Stokes' thigh has put him down."

    "We should've won. We had the chances to win but sometimes you're not effective enough.

    "I haven't seen the first sending offs, but the other one is very clear.

    "It was a dive (United penalty) in my opinion.

    "We have to be happy we are still in it and we're going to have some exciting games coming up."

    "The sending offs were a bit harsh but that was the referee's call. The penalty looked soft.

    "After Paul Dixon was sent off it was one-way traffic. I was disappointed to miss the penalty but I tried to put the header in the corner and thankfully it went in.

    "We went in 1-0 down and were very disappointed with that. I'm just delighted I scored and kept the team in the Cup."

    Referee Craig Thomson and his team of officials are sure to be the subject of much talk tonight after their performance at Tannadice. One red card that was a clear case of mistaken identity, another that was dubious, and a contentious penalty.

    We'll soon have the draw for the semi-finals, with only Falkirk and Hibernian assured of a last-four spot at this stage.

    The upshot of today's game means Celtic and Dundee United will play four times on the spin.

    If there's as much drama in the next three games as there was in this one, it could be a very interesting few weeks.

    We have five minutes of stoppage time at Tannadice...

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 17:20 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2015

    Nir Bitton plays in John Guidetti but the Celtic striker's first touch isn't the best and Dundee United keeper Radoslaw Cierzniak spreads himself brilliantly to make the stop.

    Celtic are continuing to try to build the play from deep and as John Guidetti gets into the box he has a chance to deliver, but his cross is easily collected by Radoslaw Cierzniak.
