Celtic, Aberdeen through to last four of Scottish Cup

Joe Ledley cancels out Adam Rooney penalty.

Celtic set up a meeting with Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semifinals by coming from behind to beat Inverness 2-1 on Wednesday.

The Scottish Premier League leaders fell behind to Adam Rooney’s penalty in the 44th minute, but Joe Ledley equalized moments before halftime.

The Wales midfielder then scored his second goal of the match with a 68th-minute header to clinch victory for the Glasgow club, which is the favorite to win the competition.

Aberdeen progressed thanks to a 2-1 home win over St Mirren.

In the only match in the Premier League, Dundee United climbed above Kilmarnock into fourth place with a 2-0 win over Hearts at Tannadice.
