Celtic captain Scott Brown reacts during The Ladbrokes Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on March 31, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic captain Scott Brown has taken to social media to congratulate his teammates on their Scottish Premiership final-day 2-1 win over Hearts as well as banging the drum ahead of their rematch for the right to lift the Scottish Cup.

Mikey Johnston opened the scoring for the eight-in-a-row champions after just two minutes played at Parkhead but Jake Mulraney made the most of a Scott Bain error to level in the 18th minute.

Although Celtic dominated possession and weighed in with plenty of efforts, they struggled to make another breakthrough until the 84th minute of the match, when Johnston picked his spot and slotted past Zdenek Zlamal for the winner.

Posting an Instagram message which was also shared on his Twitter feed, Brown spoke highly of his Hoops charges for their part in the “amazing day” on Sunday but called for “one more big push” as Saturday’s cup final at Hampden Park beckons:
