Christopher Jullien's two word Celtic response as Jota strike dumps Rangers out Scottish Cup

Christopher Jullien still has Celtic on his mind as he took to social media to celebrate the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Rangers.

Ange Postecoglou and his troops are huge favourites to now go on and complete a domestic Treble after a 1-0 win over Michael Beale's men at Hampden. It's the second time this season they've defeated the Light Blues at the national stadium having lifted the League Cup earlier this year thanks to a Kyogo Furuhashi double.

But it was Jota who was the hero this time around with his headed goal beyond Allan McGregor just before half-time the difference. The goal came from a lapse in concentration from the Rangers defence that allowed Daizen Maeda to nick in before picking out his team-mate with a perfect cross at the back post to nod home and send the green and white end of the ground wild in celebration.

Jullien was in action for current club Montpellier yesterday as they picked up a stunning 4-0 win on the road at Monaco. The hammering is a real dent in their hopes of securing Champions League football next term with them currently occupying a Europa League spot for next season. The centre-back took to social media to hail the result as a 'big game big win' before attentions turned towards his former club.

Sharing Jota's Instagram post to his story he wrote: "Always him" accompanied by a series of emojis.

Celtic have already bagged the League Cup and they can officially be confirmed as Premiership champions this coming weekend. The league leaders head for Tynecastle to face Hearts knowing victory will secure back to back league titles.

In terms of the Scottish Cup, Inverness provide the opposition in the end of season showpiece with the game to be played early June.
