Leigh Griffiths' hilarious 'Celtic da' quip as Hoops release behind the scenes Christmas ad footage

The Celtic Christmas advert has become a big tradition now and Hoops fans love it.

The latest edition sees Neil Lennon narrate his way through it but another big starring role is playing by Celtic frontman Leigh Griffiths.

And now the Hoops have released behind the scenes footage from filming of the advert and it's clear the players all enjoy getting into character.

Shane Duffy described it as a 'dream' to be part of it as he shared a laugh with CelticTV host Gerry McCulloch before filming, but they were left waiting on one of the reindeer.

Callum McGregor threatened Jeremie Frimpong with a big fine after the defender was late to Celtic Park but the likes of Albian Ajeti, Moi Elyounoussi and Diego Laxalt all seemed to enjoy themselves during the production.

But it was Griffiths' one-liner that stole the show in the behind the scenes footage as he compared himself to a Celtic 'da'.

As he stands in Celtic Park with a green Santa hat on his head, he turns and says: "I’m an official Celtic da."

Host McCulloch laughs along and replies: "You’re representing the Celtic da’s all over the place."

Watch the full footage above.
