Celtic loanee Jeffrey Schlupp earns surprise FA Cup recognition

Jeffrey Schlupp has taken to social media to share his delight at Crystal Palace's recent FA Cup triumph. 

The Celtic loanee has shared an image of an FA Cup winners' medal with his followers on Instagram.

Oliver Glasner's side were deserved winners as they got the better of Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday afternoon. 

Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the game on 16 minutes, with Palace keeper Dean Henderson denying City from the spot.

Schlupp reunited with Brendan Rodgers during the January transfer window as he joined Celtic on loan from the south London club.

The former Premier League title winner has made 15 appearances during his time in Scotland, scoring once and notching one assist. 

As it turns out, his gametime at Selhurst Park was far more limited before the 32-year-old made the move.

A 13-minute appearance in a home match against League One side Stockport County was the extent of his involvement in Palace's FA Cup run this season. 

But fortunately for him, that was enough to qualify for a medal.

Taking to his Instagram story, he shared a snap of the medal, along with emojis of a blue and red hearts, and a love heart-eyed face.

Schlupp will be aiming to add to his already hefty medal collection this season, having picked up one for his part in Celtic's fourth Scottish Premiership title success in a row when the Hoops take to the national stadium in the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen this weekend.
