Without doubt Tony Watt is the former Celtic player most prominent on social media.

The Motherwell striker has taken a few breaks from Twitter but is always enticed back and is currently creating a reputation as a gamer as the country gets used to Lock Down.

As a native of Coatbridge he is the type of character that every fan can identify with which makes his special moment in the history of the club that bit more memorable.

His 2012 goal against Barcelona is one that every Celtic fan is very familiar with but there was one incident before the kick off that should have provided the Catalans with a warning of what was to come.

As the Barca players waited in the tunnel their attention turned to the teenager that wandered past whistling as if he was preparing for a training session or youth match.

The look on the faces of the Barca players was something special, a few moments later they walked out to be greeted by an incredible Tifo to celebrate Celtic’s 125th anniversary.

When they returned down the tunnel after the final whistle they had experienced something very special with a local bhoy securing his place in Celtic folklore.
