Celtic had made it through to the Scottish Cup semi-finals after one shot on goal and no shot on target. They had survived their way through the day despite their own awful shortcomings, winning on penalties because Rangers were an abomination in reply.

Initially, the Rangers fans in the Copland Stand reacted, a tiny number threatening to pile on to the pitch and head into the fray.
