It is probably one of the toughest videos of the year to record- getting a group of around 20 young men to record a 10 second Christmas message.
Image conscious Jota had to have his hair just right under his festive hat, James Forrest seemed to be using his phone to remember the lines while David Turnbull appeared to be auditioning for Scotch and Wry.
As ever Ange Postecoglou pulled it all together, a natural in all circumstances, he didn’t require much in the way of prompting as he shared his message with his side nine points clear at the top of the table with 17 wins from 18 SPFL matches.
David Turnbull gave a decent impersonation of the Rev IM Jolly at 1 minute 50 seconds, quickly followed by the enthusiasm of Alistair Johnston.
Oliver Abildgaard and Yosuke Ideguchi put in appearances, as did Yuki Kobayashi who will have to wait until next Sunday before he can be fully registered as a Celtic player.
