Boss Ange Postecoglou clenched his fists, celebrated the moment and probably felt a huge slice of relief that the 78th-minute winner meant their winter break was not interrupted by a replay in Burnley.
The former Celtic manager said: "The bottom line is we are through to the next round and that is what you've got to take out of it because I said before the game the cup games are a unique beast in themselves.
