Josip Juranovic and the unseen Celtic nod during Union Berlin celebration as Daizen Maeda decodes subtle reminder

Union Berlin defender Josip Juranovic netted his first goal since joining the German side against Ajax - but doesn't appear to have forgotten about Celtic just yet.

The Croat has immediately become a vital player for the Bundesliga title hopefuls after leaving the Scottish Premiership leaders in January, and has helped the side to join top of the pile alongside giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Union also secured progression in the Europa League with a big helping hand from the 27-year-old as he netted the second goal in the 3-1 victory over the Dutch giants, firing a low shot goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.

He was mobbed by his teammates after finding the net, but tipped his cap to former Celtic teammate Daizen Maeda during the celebrations. While the TV cameras didn't pick up on the subtle nod, Union's club snappers caught the moment Juranovic recreated his Parkhead celebration in Berlin.
