Celtic fans have lapped up Matt O'Riley's celebration following the Jota's goal at Hampden - after spotting him turn to the Rangers support as he wheels away.
The Portuguese winger headed in the decisive goal at Hampden as the Hoops capitalised on some hesitant defending from Michael Beale's men to book their place in the Scottish Cup final - and keep Ange Postecoglou's hopes of claiming a Treble alive ahead of the June 3 clash with Inverness Caley Thistle. The defeat also ends Michael Beale's chance at lifting silverware this season - and it appears O'Riley was only too happy to pile the misery on their rivals at the national stadium.
After Jota had wheeled away to celebrate on the west stand at Hampden - which traditionally holds the Rangers fans - he is quickly mobbed by his teammates as Daizen Maeda and Callum McGregor rush over. O'Riley follows his Celtic teammates - but turns to the stand as he approaches.
In a clip circulating on social media, the gleeful midfielder can be seen celebrating to the Rangers support. He then joined up with the squad to lap up the massive semi-final moment.
Celtic fans were loving the cheeky dig from O'Riley with one fan applauding the Danish U21 cap for "having a wee p***take of the Rangers fans". Another added: "Matt O’Riley in background. First he can’t believe no free kick was awarded. And then…"
The player took to social media following the final to share his joy at having another shot at silverware this term. Sharing a snap from the game, he posted to Instagram: "That was fun."
