Former Newcastle United and Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Celtic’s win against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final.

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.

Given, who is 41 years of age and will be released by Premier League club Stoke City when his contract ends at the end of June this year, was following the match, and he was pleased to see Celtic win the game.

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton and ex-Hibernian forward Tam McManus have also taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the Hoops’ success.
