Steven Doris’s dramatic late free-kick for Arbroath yesterday means Celtic will have to replay their William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against the third-tier side.

With one eye on Wednesday night’s home Champions League Group G decider against Spartak Moscow, Hoops manager Neil Lennon made nine changes to his side.

The hosts nevertheless went ahead in the 35th minute when Stewart Malcolm hammered a clearance from the byline off the back of fellow Red Lichties defender Alex Keddie and into the net.

The Scottish Premier League champions created and missed a host of chances yesterday while also being foiled by Arbroath goalkeeper Scott Morrison, but with four minutes remaining Doris shocked the home side when his deflected drive had the better of Lukasz Zaluska in the Celtic goal.

It means another game in an already congested fixture list for Lennon.
