Celtic won their first piece of silverware under Ange Postecoglou – and have now received congratulations from cricket legend Shane Warne.

Celtic’s cup final success

Postecoglou’s Celtic actually fell behind in the Premier Sports Cup final, with Paul Hanlon firing Hibernian ahead.

The Bhoys rallied back though, winning 2-1 thanks to a fine brace from Japanese superstar Kyogo Furuhashi.

Two sublime finishes from Kyogo secured Postecoglou’s first trophy with Celtic, continuing his impressive first season at Parkhead.
