Celtic hung on in their Champions League qualifier on Tuesday night knowing that a 2-0 loss in Israel was still good enough to secure qualification to the group stages of this year's competition, but they made very hard work of it.
Joey Barton had a chuckle at the manner in which qualification was sealed, but that would not have bothered the Celtic fans one bit as they looked forward to a much-needed return to Europe's premier club competition. The Celtic players were delighted too, and one youngster who clearly stayed up to watch Conor McGregor at UFC 202 on Saturday night decided to celebrate like the notorious MMA star.
After the final whistle, 19-year-old Kieran Tierney pulled out the UFC 202 strut that Conor McGregor made on his way into the octagon.

Here's Conor's effort for comparison:
Now that McGregor pre-fight strut makes sense.https://t.co/lqcD7PAkCv

But of course McGregor was not the inventor of this most comical form of braggadociousness, no, that honor belongs to a certain Vince McMahon.
It's just a shame it wasn't Callum McGregor.
