Japan attacker Maeda pounced on a rebound to net from close range in the 39th minute before Adam Idah sealed a 2-0 victory.

ADAM IDAH STRUCK a late goal to seal Celtic’s victory after earlier Daizen Maeda had continued his goalscoring spree in Sunday’s Scottish Gas Scottish Cup quarter-final against Hibernian. Japan attacker Maeda pounced on a rebound to net from close range in the 39th minute for his 14th goal in 13 matches and 28th for the season.

Hibs saw their 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions come crashing to an end in a Scottish Cup quarter-final defeat at Celtic Park, as Brendan Rodger’s champions – and Cup holders – just edged out the visitors in a contest that wasn’t finally settled until the home team’s second goal in injury time.
