Celtic have trolled their bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers on Twitter, and so has Scott Brown.

The Hoops held a ‘re-watch party’ on YouTube and Twitter on Saturday, as they re-lived their 5-0 win against Rangers in 2018.

Odsonne Edouard scored twice for the Bhoys against Rangers, while James Forrest, Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor added a goal apiece, as the Hoops wrapped up their seventh Scottish Premiership title in a row.

After the match was re-lived on Saturday, Celtic took a pop at Rangers by releasing a “ciub statement”, a clear dig at the Gers releasing a number of statements in recent weeks over their ongoing feud with the SPFL over their voting process that saw the leagues below the Scottish Premiership called.

Celtic midfielder Brown – who has been on the books of the Hoops since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million – has also trolled Rangers, stating that for the final 37 minutes of the match at Celtic Park on April 29, 2018, he and his teammates were thinking about the title.
