Celtic fans haven’t been this happy since they beat Rangers 5-1.
Or since they took the piss out of Joey Barton for being part of the team that lost 5-1 at Celtic Park.

Or since they took the piss out of Barton for getting suspended from Rangers.

Celtic fans have been pretty pleased with things recently – that 7-0 drubbing to Barcelona aside – and won’t have to wait long for a chance to get one over their old, or, depending on your viewpoint, new rivals.
The two Glasgow clubs will play in the Scottish League Cup semi-final next month at Hampden Park, and Celtic fans couldn’t be happier with the draw. Morton v Aberdeen is the other semi-final.
Celtic will take on Rangers in the League Cup semi-final. Tie scheduled for weekend of October 22/23. More details to follow. #BetfredCup

While the majority of Celtic fans on social media appeared to welcome the tie against Rangers, none were as happy as Chris Sutton.
The former Celtic striker, known for his non-nonsense punditry style, has possibly never been this happy.

Given Sutton’s assessment of Rangers’ defence, it’s easy to see why he’s looking so smug.
