Ismaila Soro replaced Scott Brown in the 63rd minute of his Farewell to Celtic Park, then photo-bombed the Celtic skipper in the dressing room afterwards.
Shirt sponsor Dafabet were looking for a departing picture of the man that has wore the shirt with so much pride but timing his arrival to perfection Soro stole the show.

Brown’s 63 minutes was good enough to pick up the Man of the Match award which probably wasn’t available as a bet pre-match.
Soon after Celtic’s opening goal from David Turnbull, Brown pinged a brilliant cross-field pass to Odsonne Edouard, he took one touch to tame it then clipped a perfect shot over the advancing Bobby Zlamal to double the lead.
Soro replaced Brown who passed the armband onto James Forrest with the skipper taking a seat in the stand to take the acclaim of the coaching staff, substitutes and the suspended Callum McGregor.
Kris Ajer seemed to share his delight at the third goal with the substituted skipper while the fans savoured a goal from Karamoko Dembele and wondered why he has played less than 90 minutes in his four appearances off the bench.
