Benjamin Nygren: We were very happy to get the win and reach the final

Another trip to Hampden Park awaits the Bhoys, who booked their place in the final of the Scottish Cup with a 6-2 extra time win over St Mirren on Sunday.

After being pegged back in the dying moments of normal time, an incredible run of four goals in six minutes seen the Celts storm into an emphatic lead.

The man who grabbed the sixth goal has become well-accustomed to scoring for the Hoops as Benjamin Nygren scored his 20th goal of the campaign.

It was another well-taken finish from the Swede, who rounded things off for Martin O’Neill’s side, who will now meet Dunfermline Athletic in the final on May 23.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the match, Nygren said: “I feel very good! I’m very happy to get the win, and that we managed to get into the final, in the end.

“It was a very strange game, especially now when I think of it afterwards. We started the game really well and really put a lot of pressure on them.

“The first goal, it’s amazing pressing from Daizen. Then we lost a little bit of the intensity in the end of the first half, and again with the second half.

"I thought we would win it in normal time, but then they scored before the end. Then I don’t know what happened! We scored four goals so fast and that killed the game in extra-time.

‘It was an amazing atmosphere when we scored the goals, but I’m so happy that we made it.’

“I’m enjoying it a lot here. I just try to stay in the moment and enjoy it as much as possible. In the end, I came here to win trophies, so that is the goal.”
