First Division Ross County humiliated Celtic at Hampden Park in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final.
The tie was level until the 54th minute when a superb goal by Steven Craig sent the Staggies fans into raptures.
The County man started near the halfway line and burst through the Celtic defense, lifting the ball over Josh Thompson before blasting a fine shot beyond Lukasz Zaluska from the edge of the penalty area.
Celtic introduced Paddy McCourt shortly after the goal and Celtic pressed forward looking for an equalizer.
Celtic were denied by some tremendous defending from Gary Miller to deny Georgios Samaras in the 83rd minute.
McGeady's low cross reached the Greek at the back post and the defender lunged in to get the slightest nick on the ball to send it crashing against the post.
As Celtic continued to press forward, Ross hit Neil Lennon’s men on the break and with two minutes remaining Andrew Barrowman charged into the penalty box and delivered a great ball across goal, with Martin Scott on hand to volley home from close range.
