Celtic's forgotten Scottish Cup hero Junior Adamu took time off from his preparations for tomorrow's Hampden showdown to jet off to Istanbul to support parent club Freiburg.
The Austrian striker joined the champions on loan from the Bundesliga club on transfer deadline day earlier this season until the end of the season.
Adamu, 24, last started a game for Celtic in the 2-2 draw against Rangers at Ibrox in March, but was hooked at half time.
Since then, he's played a total of 15 minutes in the defeat at Dundee United and was an unused sub in the Scottish Cup semi final win against St Mirren.
He wasn't in the matchday squad entirely for Celtic's seven-game winning run which took them to Premiership glory.
And he decided to travel to Turkey this week to cheer on Freiburg in their Europa League Final defeat to Aston Villa.

Adamu explained: "I was invited and I was really happy about it.
"I had a day off so I took the opportunity to go to Istanbul.
"Of course I wanted to be there to support the guys!"
Adamu did play a part in getting the German club to their first ever European final, after scoring against Bologna in the Europa League.
And he could also claim a big role if Celtic claim the double - his only goal for the Hoops came in the last seconds against Dundee at home in the Scottish Cup which his backheel finish forced the tie into extra time. Celtic eventually won 2-1 on their route to the final.
