Ryan Christie in Celtic social media blunder as Hoops star 'likes' Jose Mourinho's Seville post

It's fair to say that social media can be a place to avoid at times.

Ryan Christie might fancy avoiding his mentions at the minute after a social media faux pas where he liked an Instagram post from Jose Mourinho.

It's 18 years since Celtic faced Porto in the UEFA Cup Final in Seville, with a 3-2 defeat breaking the hearts of Hoops fans around the world.

Mourinho was in charge of the Portuguese side at the time and it's fair to say a lot of Celtic supporters have never forgiven him for some of the antics of the Porto players that night.

So when he posted an image of himself leaving Seville with the UEFA Cup to head back to Porto, they wouldn't have expected to see one of their players give it a like.

But that's exactly what happened and it's fair to say that Celtic fans weren't overly happy with him doing so, particularly on the back of such a disappointing campaign for the club.

Celtic crashed out of the Europa League at the group stage this time so couldn't get close to the final like they did 19 years ago.

On that night, Henrik Larsson scored a double on that night in Spain, while Derlei got a double for Porto either side of a Dmitri Alenichev striker.
