Life isn’t always plain sailing for Ronny Delia but this strike from Leigh Griffiths surely brought a smile to the Celtic manager’s face.
The Hoops secured their place in the next round of the Scottish League Cup with a 2-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle.
The Scotland international scored one and set one up. The highlight was his Messi-esque run, turn and shot that secured the win for the Bhoys.
The 25-year was a very happy man afterwards and even copied Celtic legend Henrik Larsson’s famous tongue-out celebration
What a night!! Fans never stopped. I love scoring at that place. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. #sssshhhhhh pic.twitter.com/wwp4hYT0tm

Griffiths endeared himself to the fans further with his comments after the game.
"If you give me a goal like that and a yellow card then I’ll take it all day long."

Although not everyone appreciated his comments.
The fans were quiet until the goal you prick. https://t.co/aPrkYtrhmQ
