Celtic 3 Hibs 1 - 11th April 1995, Scottish Cup SF Replay

Having seen off Kilmarnock in the Quarter Final, Celtic were pulled out of the hat alongside Hibs in the draw for the last 4. A goalless first tie led to this replay. The two games were played at Ibrox, due to Celtic's use of Hampden while Celtic Park was being rebuilt.

Celtic eased into the final courtesy of this 3-1 win. Willie Falconer opens the scoring in the first half with a rare goal in the hoops. John Collins adds a second with a marvellous shot from outside the box before Keith Wright pulls one back for Hibs. But Phil O'Donnell seals the win with a powerful header and Celtic were through to the final, where they would play Airdrie. The six year wait for a trophy was almost over.
