Daizen Maeda has thanked Raith Rovers' players for their classy gesture at Celtic Park at the weekend.
The Japanese international scored a hat-trick in the Scottish Cup tie, which ended 5-0 to Brendan Rodgers' side.
Luke McCowan and Yang added the other two goals for the hosts on Saturday night.
Maeda's strikes took him up to 22 goals for the season - and he did so in the presence of his family, with his kids on the pitch with him before the match as his mascots.
Thank you to all the @RaithRovers players for being so kind to my daughter and son and we wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season! 素敵な世界💚🤍 https://t.co/QpMuIGHrDr

Footage showed every single Raith player taking the time to embrace both Soyo and Tensei as the teams lined up ahead of the encounter.
And that has clearly struck a chord with Maeda, who has taken to social media to thank the Championship side for their kindness.
The 27-year-old wrote on X: "Thank you to all the Raith Rovers players for being so kind to my daughter and son and we wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season!"
