The former Liverpool and Arsenal man played a key role in helping his team advance.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signed for Celtic on February 7th, after being without a club since August 2025.
Last summer, his contract was mutually terminated by Besiktas, and he has since been training alone to keep his fitness up.
The Scottish side took a gamble on him and so far, he has been a smart acquisition.
Oxlade-Chamberlain got off to the perfect start for his new club, scoring a stoppage-time winner on his debut against Livingston shortly after coming on.
Today, Rangers and Celtic faced off in what was the latest edition of the historic rivalry between the two clubs.
It was the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup and the fans at Ibrox watched on as the game ended in a tense 0-0 draw.
Penalties would decide their fate.
Rangers captain James Tavernier stepped up to take the first penalty kick, and it was saved.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was the first to step up for Celtic and the former Liverpool midfielder firmly dispatched it into the net to set Celtic on their way.
Rangers left-winger Djeidi Gassama also missed from the spot, resulting in a 4-2 penalty shootout win for Celtic and a ticket into the semi-finals of the competition.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s experience coming through there.
He has won all that was available to him in English football with Liverpool and showed on several occasions during his time on Merseyside that he was capable of stepping up in the big moments when needed.
On an otherwise positive afternoon for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Celtic, the game was marred by both sets of fans entering the pitch at full-time.
Celtic fans celebrated with their side after entering the field close to the away end. A number of Rangers fans retaliated by entering the field and running towards the away end.
Tensions were at a boiling point. Ibrox stewards managed to keep both sets of fans apart. After campaigning for more allocation for away fans from both sides of the Old Firm, questions must be asked whether that was the right idea or not.
