Following Sunday’s Betfred Cup final victory, [@CelticFC](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1204036994495631360) posted a video of the post-match celebrations, including the immediate reaction to the final whistle, the trophy lift, the dressing room celebrations and the homecoming.

In the dressing room after the 1-0 win over Rangers, the Hoops’ majority shareholder Dermot Desmond went to congratulate the players and coaching staff, greeting many of them with handshakes.

However, teenage right-back Jeremie Frimpong showed his post-match ecstasy by offering the 69-year-old Irishman a warm embrace, the youngster evidently getting over the [red card he was shown in the 63rd minute](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50672183) for a foul on Alfredo Morelos, with referee Willie Collum deeming him to have thwarted a clear goalscoring opportunity. However, Morelos’ resulting penalty was saved by Fraser Forster (as per [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50672183)).

These Celtic fans on Twitter hugely enjoyed seeing the interaction between Frimpong and Desmond afterwards:
