If you’re going to score on your debut, you might as well make it a back-heeled equaliser in the last minute of the game 🤷‍♂️#ScottishCup | @scottishgas | @CelticFC pic.twitter.com/V4FrMcjHHs

A tribute to The King of Kings? 👑🇸🇪

If you’re going to be brave enough to break out Henrik Larsson’s signature celebration at Celtic Park, it helps to have scored a backheel to equalise in stoppage time like Junior Adamu did tonight! 🍀😂 pic.twitter.com/T4u7hzdZLV

YOUNG ADAMSKI – 6.5/10 – Your first touch in the Hoops is a backheeled equaliser in the chaotic death-rattle of a cup-tie. Now ask the genie for your other two wishes. Got to give the new bhoy his flowers for that inventive ecstasy. A marvel of footballing nous to 180 degree the night and mood. Certanly didn’t look out of place leading the line, willing to make the runs with an interestingly swift turn of foot we may exploit properly on a better day. But for today, what a debut; take a bow.

TUTANKHAMUN – 7.5/10 MOTM – What in the name of the hallowed Mikey J was that? The grumbling inconsistent Tunisian came on like a desert dervish, tore into them, refused to take a rebuke and won the game with his tenacity and fleet of foot. Scintillating wing play to draw us level, topped by razor-sharp wits to cut them apart for the sizzling winner. Now sell him to West Brom for £20 million.

HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 6/10 – Luke, it’s got to be said – well done, Luke. Pitched in without much hope, he managed to do nearly everything well, with sense and footballing intelligence; the zenith of which was an overlooked piece of deft balance and footwork to play-in the Tut wall-pass for the winner.

NYLON – 4/10 – “Wheres Ne…” ‘There! As usual, right in on the keeper and…Wit.’ Then… Nothing. Well, not quite, but his contributions were fleeting and a bit faint-hearted.

JAMESY – 6/10 – If Jamesy can’t score, nobody can score. Well, thankfully that old Prestwick proverb got put to bed (pun intended) like many a maiden on a Jamesy Jolly. He did inject plenty of intent but found himself blunted against a formidable Dundonian chastity belt he’d only encountered before in the hushed conversations of mythos in the shadows of old Ayrshire taverns. Didn’t stop him attempting to mount one of them in the final seconds, which resulted in a yellow and an eye-blistering near escape for us. Calm doon, Jamesy. Someone get in with the bromide.

MELLOW YELLOW – N/A – Kid’s tremendous at cleaning a ball with his jersey. And he was quite willing to polish every ball in the stadium as the clock ran down…

SCRATCHY – 5.5/10 – “Eet’s flockeeng freezeeng, man! You not serious, boss? Hey, KT, wake a-flek up!” But on he was thrown and his verve down the left flank helped us take the lead, then hold it.
