<\/p>\nOne Parkhead star has spoken in more detail about events at full time following the dramatic Scottish Cup tie<\/p>\n
Celtic players are escorted off the pitch at Ibrox<\/p>\n
Celtic star Sebastian Tounekti<\/a> revealed he didn’t hang about at the end of the Old Firm Scottish Cup<\/a> shame game after fans invaded the Ibrox pitch, following Celtic’s penalty shootout success.<\/p>\n The SFA have launched an independent review into the scenes at full-time and Hoops star Tounekti has spoken for the first time of the incident.<\/p>\n He said: “The game was something special. We won on penalties and then I noticed that our fans came out to celebrate with us.<\/p>\n “Then I just saw that the Rangers fans <\/a>also made their way onto the pitch. After that, the players ran into the dressing room. There were nasty scenes.<\/p>\n “I didn’t really have time to think about it. I just ran in and then you could see in the pictures afterwards that it didn’t look good. It wasn’t good.”<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Tounekti admits he would love to go up against team-mate and Hoops top scorer Benjamin Nygren at this summer’s World Cup<\/p>\n Daizen Maeda celebrates scoring with Benjamin Nygren and Sebastian Tounekti(Image: PA)<\/p>\n Swedish star Nygren has netted 19 goals for Celtic<\/a> and one for Sweden this season and will be in their squad for their World Cup<\/a> play-off against Ukraine in Valencia.<\/p>\n If they win that and get past either Poland or Albania in the final, they would face Tounekti’s Tunisia in their opening game of the Finals in Guadalupe, Mexico.<\/p>\n And Tounekti, who was in Stockholm to watch former club Hammarby at the weekend, reckons his Hoops teammate can fire Sweden to the tournament.<\/p>\n He said: “He’s in absolutely tremendous form. He scores goals everywhere. He is always in the right place and even if he is not seen very much in every match or has so many touches on the ball, he is always there in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n “So I definitely think Sweden should use him in the play-offs.<\/p>\n “We’ve talked about it a bit. I really hope they make it to the World Cup. It would be great fun to face Sweden.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One Parkhead star has spoken in more detail about events at full time following the dramatic Scottish Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":480458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[20127,2817,59,9744,2714,49475,101,56,54,55,58033],"class_list":["post-480457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-benjamin-nygren","tag-celtic-fc","tag-gb","tag-ibrox-stadium","tag-rangers-fc","tag-sebastian-tounekti","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-world-cup-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/480458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0_Celtic-v-Dundee-United-William-Hill-Premiership-Celtic-Park.jpg\")
