It was the late, late show from Celtic in the Scottish Cup on Saturday evening.
If anything summed up how Celtic are just grinding out wins under Martin O’Neill, then this frustrating tie against Dundee was proof of that.
Celtic needed extra time to beat Dundee, and it was thanks to debutant Junior Adamu scoring in the 97th minute that saved the Hoops’ blushes.
After Adamu’s clever equaliser added another half an hour to proceedings, there was only going to be one winner, and Steven Pressley was classy in his reaction to Celtic beating his Dundee side.

Kieran Tierney had gone down just as the stoppage time board had gone up. There were five minutes of added time.
But you just knew the on-field referee was going to play an extra minute, or more, due to Tierney’s injury eating up some of stoppage-time.
Pressley didn’t complain about Adamu scoring in the 97th minute; instead, he showcased his class and explained how clubs like Celtic have a ‘habit’ of scoring late goals.
Yes, it was a very ugly performance from the champions of Scotland, but one thing you can’t deny is that they kept on going, and in the end, were rewarded.
“It was disappointing to lose such a late goal,” said Pressley. “It was one more action we needed to defend.
“If we had, then we would be speaking about the next round of the cup. But, unfortunately, that’s the way.
“The one thing about Celtic is, these sorts of clubs always score late goals. It’s a habit that they have. They keep coming at you and at you.
“I thought we managed to ride the storm. I thought we showed that mentality. I am so disappointed because I couldn’t be prouder of the group.”
