Mikey Johnston trolls Celtic teammate Ryan Christie as winger fires hilarious cup final dig

Celtic youngster Mikey Johnston has trolled his teammate Ryan Christie with a hilarious Instagram story.

Johnston posted a picture of the pair at training talking to each other with the caption "And that's when I whipped it into the top corner to make it 1-0."

The winger was clearly out to tease his pal by suggesting he likes to boast about his achievements on the pitch but given he tagged him in the story it's clear the 21-year-old's wind-up was of the gentle variety.

Christie scored a stunning opening goal in the Scottish Cup final against Hearts when he curled a shot from 25 yards past Craig Gordon and into the top corner of the Hampden net. 

The Hoops drew the game 3-3 after extra-time but managed to win on penalties.

And while Johnston scored his, Christie thought Craig Gordon might have had the last laugh when he parried the Scotland star's spot-kick away.

Fortunately for the Highlander it wasn't to be a decisive moment and the Hoops went on to lift the cup after Conor Hazard saved from both Stephen Kingsley and Craig Wighton.
