For the first time in nine years Mikael Lustig wasn’t part of a Celtic title celebration but that didn’t prevent him from joining in the online recognition of 9-in-a-row.

At Kilmarnock in April 2012 the Swede, and his haircut, were on the fringes but over the years he played a key role in the current run of successes and made sure he was at the heart of the action when the trophies and medals were being handed out.

His incredible solo goal at Ibrox in 2017 will go down as one of the highlights on achieving the nine but his farewell to Ibrox wasn’t quite as memorable.

Last May, in his farewell appearance in the Glasgow derby, Lustig was below par, clearly injured and taking the jeers and worse of the home fans.

He knew that his time was up at Celtic, in reply to the abuse around him he made a gesture that everyone in the stadium understood.

His contribution won’t be forgotten.
