Mikael Lustig had the perfect reply for Connor Goldson as he gloated over the Swede’s injury.
The defender suffered a muscle pull late in the first half of Celtic’s Ibrox defeat, rather than concentrate on pushing to take advantage of a one man advantage in the closing stages Goldson opted to pass comment on the injury.

While the former Shrewsbury starlet considers how he can earn his first international call up his stricken opponent can look back on appearances at the European Championships and helping Sweden to the last eight of the World Cup last summer.
Domestically Lustig will pick up his eighth SPFL winners medal next Sunday as 60,000 fans celebrate a title won despite Celtic appearing to be falling apart at times during the season.
Brendan Rodgers and Moussa Dembele won’t have any part to play in the trophy presentation but outlasting so many will be Lustig, the most successful Swede to have played in Scottish football.
