Pitbull shares Josip Juranovic Celtic compilation as 'Fireball' chant reaches Mr Worldwide and 9 million followers

Croatian right-back Josip Juranovic was given a bizarre shout-out by superstar rapper Pitbull after his Hoops chant went international.

The Celtic star's song, first dreamed up on a supporters bus bound for Ayr, has gone down a storm with the entirety of Parkhead bouncing to the catchy tune of 'Fireball' by the hip-hop star, real name Armando Perez, during last week's derby.

And somehow, someway, it has caught the attention of the man himself.

A TikTok compilation of some of Juranovic's best moments since arriving in August somehow attracted the attention of the Cuban-American rapper.

Famous for hits like 'Don't Stop the Party' and 'Timber', Mr Worldwide opted to share the Celtic montage to his 9,000,000 and counting Instagram followers.

Juranovic can be seen miming the word 'fireball' before his best moments are shown.

They include tackles, some fancy flicks, getting the better of Rangers man Ryan Kent and his Panenka penalty at Bayer Leverkusen away followed by the fingers in ears celebration.

Ange Postecoglou opted to rest him from the start against Motherwell at the weekend but he came off the bench in the second-half, serenaded by the away end with his chant.
