He went for a goal and he got a point.

It's a pity points don't count in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park though. Hibernian faced Dundee United on Saturday afternoon, for a chance to play either Celtic or Rangers in the final next month. The game has not exactly been a fast-paced or thrilling affair, but there was some rare excitement when Dundee's Coll Donaldson was penalised for a handball in the box in the first half. Fraser Fyvie's cross seemed more like ball-to-hand, but anyway, up stepped Hibernian striker Jason Cummings from 12 yards out. Now we love a good Panenka as much as anyone, but not in a cup semi-final, and not especially when the teams are deadlocked at 0-0. Unfortunately, the effort at goal was not quite as good as his hairstyle, and the ball looped over for a goal-kick. https://twitter.com/stu_fraser/status/721304602952470528 The reaction was as you would imagine. https://twitter.com/CraigFitzsimon1/status/721310216139194368 https://twitter.com/ally_begg/status/721312410804613121 https://twitter.com/RossKirkwood1/status/721326342306992128 Even bloody Uefa trolled him. https://twitter.com/UEFAcom/status/721326406848933888 This is how you do a bloody panenka. https://twitter.com/plesetanbola/status/717791256345124867
