Celtic will face Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final after they beat St Johnstone 1-0 in the final last-eight tie on Sunday, while Hibernian will play Hearts in an Edinburgh derby in the other semi.

The Hoops met Aberdeen at the same stage of last year's competition, winning 3-0 before beating Hearts in the Hampden final.

Celtic also proved victorious when the two sides met in the 2017 final, as well as last year's Scottish League Cup final.

A goal from an 81st-minute Ryan Christie free-kick proved enough to see off the challenge of St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Sunday.

The Dons secured their place in the last-four with a 2-0 win away to St Mirren the previous day, thanks to an early Lewis Ferguson goal and a Sam Cosgrove penalty in stoppage-time.

Hearts booked their place in the semis with a 1-0 win against Rangers at Tynecastle after Oliver Bozanic took advantage of a defensive mix-up from Steven Gerrard's team to score.
