Despite the foul conditions of the worst of winter there was no letting up in Celtic’s celebrations after the 2-0 Viaplay Cup semi-final win over Kilmarnock.
The Hampden bowl doesn’t offer much protection, or any protection against the elements but one match away from the first trophy of the season there was much to celebrate.
A tap in from Giorgos Giakoumakis in stoppage time ensured that the match didn’t go to extra-time with the players looking exhausted as they saluted the backing of more than 40,000 supporters.
Kyogo dancing again! ?
Limbs from the Celtic fans! ?
Ange soaking up the love from the crowd! ?
A good day for @CelticFC ?#CELKIL | #ViaplayCup | @spfl pic.twitter.com/VXXl1N7IE5

The conditions and state of the pitch made it tough going, with Kilmarnock defending in depth Celtic had to be very disciplined to break them down.
Kyle Lafferty provided a helping hand when he blasted a ‘clearance’ off Daizen Maeda for the opener in the 18th minute, it was no surprise that he was left behind in the dressing room at half time.
Giakoumakis was one of three substitutes in the 74th minute, supporters will be hoping that his Hampden goal won’t be his last as a Celtic player.
So the ref and VAR done a spendid job at ibrox in the 2-2 as they did last week as well so say the sevco fans with the decisions.
Now the same ref and VAR are SLATED tonight as favouring towards Celtic,you couldn’t make up for thees THICKOS.
Love the smile on Greg Taylor’s face – is there a ‘Shut yer hol Fat Boy’ t-shirt yet???
Apart from being a racist piece of shit, Lafferty is a shit football player.
Well done to the bigot k.laffawanker for helping celtic with their first goal today at hampden we have got to admit he played some pass right off celtic player chest and in it goes so well done to MCINNES for playing laffawanker he’s dying to play for the champions of scotland Glasgow celtic fc cause he knows who the best team in scotland is and i hope that goal he caused for us fucking kills the bigot beast monster scumhun RAT.
I hope we can keep our big Greek striker,he has got everything a number 9 should have,he’s like John hartson, couldn’t run from midfield but by fuck he can score
