As he ran to celebrate his 17th goal of the season, he was joined by Frimpong and the two then engaged in a choreographed handshake routine, as per a clip shared by @CelticGoal on Twitter.
Speaking to BT Sport after the match [via Daily Record], Christie was adamant that the elaborate celebration was the brainchild of the teenage right-back, saying: “That was Jezza’s idea, I’m putting the blame on him! I’m sure I’ll get a bit of stick for that in the week to come.”
Olivier Ntcham doubled Celtic’s lead shortly before half-time and they ran out comfortable winners to open a five-point gap at the top of the Premiership, albeit with Rangers having a game in hand. [via BBC]
These Hoops fans on Twitter greatly enjoyed the celebration between Christie and Frimpong following the first goal of the night:
