JOE LEDLEY’S double last night fired Celtic into the Scottish Cup semi-finals to face Aberdeen at Hampden Park.

The Welshman scored both of the Glasgow side’s goals in a 2-1 fightback win against Inverness at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

Caley Thistle’s top scorer Adam Rooney broke the deadlock from the penalty spot just before half-time, but Ledley levelled from close range two minutes into first half stoppage time.

The midfielder netted the decider from close range on 68 minutes to secure a place in the last four.
