Michael Dawson beamed with pride on Sunday as he watched teenage nephew Joey emerge from the bench for his Celtic debut.
Ange Postecoglou had a depleted squad to choose from against St Johnstone and things looked even more bleak for the Hoops when Kyogo went off early on with another hamstring scare.
But Postecoglou has rarely been shy to turn to his young guns and it was another debut in Perth as 18-year-old Joey Dawson emerged from the bench.
The English teenager led the line as the Hoops went on to record a comfortable 3-1 win.
But he wouldn't have known that uncle Michael, a former Spurs and England defender in his own right, was watching on live from the Sky Sports studio as it happened.
Michael Dawson became the centre of attention on their Boxing Day Soccer Special as Jeff Stelling pointed out that teenager Joey was on for his debut.
And Dawson, unable to hide his beaming grin, said: "Here he is, debut. Big centre-forward - I bet he'll score more than me!
"Proud moment for him. His mum and dad will be watching.
"He would have been at Spurs today, going down to watch them. How the Christmas period has changed for them.
"Proud, proud moment for him."
