Sunderland defender Adam Matthews has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Celtic’s triumph in the Scottish Cup.
Celtic got the better of Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen 2-1 at Hampden Park in Glasgow in the final of the prestigious cup competition on Saturday afternoon.
Aberdeen took the lead as early as the ninth minute when Jonny Hayes scored, but the Hoops restored parity through Stuart Armstrong just minutes later.
The Glasgow giants wrapped up the win in the second minute of injury time when Tom Rogic found the target.
Sunderland defender Matthews was following the match, and the 25-year-old Wales international was pleased to see Celtic compete the domestic treble.
