Ryan Christie provides perfect Celtic response as Falkirk admin left regretting cheeky 'you know the rest' tweet

Celtic star Ryan Christie provided the perfect repsonse after a cheeky social media dig by Falkirk.

The teams met in the Scottish Cup fourth round at Parkhead on Saturday night, with the hosts looking to maintain their grip on the famous trophy.

And the Bairns made a social media crack that would come back to haunt them as they trolled the Celtic man for his long-range shooting.

Giving updates on the tie, the official Falkirk Twitter account looked to inject a bit of humour into proceedings.

While Christie has scored plenty of screamers on that left foot of his, the results can be unpredictable when he does let fly.

After a wayward effort the Bairns wrote: "Ryan Christie shoots from range and... well you know the rest. 0-0."

As any fan of a team outside of Glasgow's big two could tell you though, you save that kind of chat for after the match.

Inevitably, Christie bagged a goal and sent Celtic fans flooding to Falkirk's account.

In the second half the Scotland international cut in on his left and, from outside the box, fired low past Robbie Mutch.

The goalkeeper could perhaps have done better but in fairness he'd been cursed by the football gods thanks to his club's Twitter admin.

To be fair the unfortunate man or woman had a sense of humour as they posted about Christie's goal.

They wrote: "Goal Celtic. Ryan Christie. From range."

As did the person responsible for Celtic's social media, as they fired back: "Ryan Christie shoots from range and...scores."
