Leigh Griffiths made his traditional mark on Hampden today- even though he never got off the substitute bench.
As the players took the acclaim of the Celtic support there are some rituals that have to be indulged in.
KT taking the megaphone from the Green Brigade is one aspect as are some over the top celebrations from Mikael Lustig.

With the stewards at Ibrox doing such a good job protecting the goal-posts the Hampden woodwork has been left wide open to the scarf-work.
There was no opposition to the Griff but just in case he tied a double knot extra tight as Celtic celebrated their seventh successive trophy since Brendan Rodgers took charge.
For Griffiths it was the fourth time that he has picked up a Betfred/League Cup winners medal.
With a relentless schedule through December to get through Griffiths is expected to be in the starting line up away to Motherwell on Wednesday night.
