Celtic secured their passage into the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup with a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock. Brendan’s side should have put the visitors from Rugby Park to the sword before they drew level with a controversial equaliser. Daizen Maeda scored the winner to give Celtic a deserved place in the next round.

Celtic will be looking to continue their excellent run in the competition, winning the Cup for the last two years while Brendan enjoys an unbeaten record in the competition. Celtic will be targeting progression as they look to take part in the showpiece final on May 24 at Hampden.
