Rangers boss Steven Gerrard admits his players "goaded" him into the viral Jurgen Klinsmann celebration after sealing the Premiership title.
Celtic's draw with Dundee United on Sunday ensured that the league flag will return to Ibrox for the first time in a decade, but the celebrations had begun the day before.
The manager was front and centre as he slid across the dressing room floor following the 3-0 win over St Mirren.
It was a departure from the Liverpool legend's usual steely focus and the Rangers boss explained he felt obliged to get lost in the moment of triumph.
Gerrard explained: "I think that's just getting lost in the moment. I was goaded into that by the players. I've goaded them for so long and demanded so much from them the least I can do is get lost in the moment I suppose.
"It's nothing a bit of Sudocrem hasn't sorted out!
"I'm back in the routine, I'm hydrated and I'm ready for the next challenge."
Rangers celebrated hard over the weekend but focus now switches to Thursday's Europa League clash with Slavia Prague.
Gerrard continued: "Obviously the size of the achievement and the emotions that came with that, I think the players deserved to celebrate.
"We have worked ever so hard during this journey and sacrificed a lot. They have put a tremendous amount of effort in to get it over the line. We also as a group have had some criticism along the way and have been down at times as well.
"So when you finally get it over the line the feeling is difficult to describe. But now we are back in the routine.
"I spoke to the players yesterday at length and we had a session where we got the legs moving again.
"They have had the chance to get some rest and it is actually a good thing that we are going away now. We can manage all the food and the hydration levels and get them ready to fire once the kick-off comes.
"It has just been an incredible few days. It is difficult to describe in an interview."
