Mikael Lustig has taken to social media to share his delight over former club Celtic beating Rangers - even if he couldn't call his former rivals by name.
The Swedish full-back left Parkhead in 2019 but is still an immensely popular figure around the Hoops after a trophy-laden spell in Glasgow. He spent seven years at Celtic after joining from Rosenborg in 2012 and is still plying his trade back in Sweden aged 35 with AIK. Capped 94 times by his country, the defender was happy to see Ange Postecoglou's side breeze past Rangers 4-0.
While not referencing the Light Blues by name, he's shared that his day over the weekend was not to be topped after a good weather and derby success combo. He said on social media: “Hello Rocky, it’s your boy Mikael Lustig here. The sun is shining, Celtic won 4-0 against them yesterday – couldn’t be better, right?”
