Erik Sviatchenko celebrated his Christmas with a win bonus at Douglas Park.
December 24 is the big celebration day in Denmark with the Celtic defender on duty at Hamilton helping Celtic extend their lead at the top of the table to 14 points.
After the win Sviatchenko was able to join in the festive celebrations- while knowing that he still has two games to go before getting the chance to put his feet up.

It was another clean sheet for Sviatchenko as he teamed up with Mikael Lustig in front of Craig Gordon to keep Hamilton at bay.
In under a year the former Midtjylland defender has firmly established himself at Celtic despite the turmoil of Ronny Deila’s handover to Brendan Rodgers.
Through the final stages of the Deila regime Sviatchenko was one of the few highlights, demonstrating the defensive skills and leadership qualities needed to succeed.
Despite having his defensive partnership rotatated between Mikael Lustig and Jozo Simunovic the Dane has maintained a high level of consistency.
