The Celtic players could be seen joking with Yang Hyun-jun after he netted a brace for his side against St Mirren last night.
The South Korean was introduced with 25 minutes to go and made an impactful mark on proceedings as Brendan Rodgers' men romped to a 5-2 victory.
Yang made it 3-2 in Celtic's favour with a fine header before finishing off the scoring in stoppage time with yet another nod home from close range.

After he bagged his second of the night, a number of his teammates could be seen hilariously pushing him in what looked to be an inside joke:
No pretend cigar smoking antics despite being 16 points clear from a group of players just enjoying the moment, and showing their class when it matters. Here we go 4IAR. 🍀🍀🍀🍀 pic.twitter.com/Z9DIC3mAz8

Yang has found form in recent weeks, proving to be a useful impact player for his team.
The 22-year-old has scored three goals and assisted as many in his last six appearances.
Celtic manager Rodgers yesterday lifted the lid on the real reason behind Yang's recent performances: "I think it will help that his girlfriend's here at the moment," he said.
"So I said to the guys, see if we can keep her here! See if we can get that visa sorted!
"Everyone knows he's in a really good mood and he has been for a little while. He has two goals. His pass for Daizen Maeda’s goal to see it and then to execute it.
"Wow, what a pass. And like I said, he's a young player who's developing and improving. And like you say, he's played a really, really important role for us.
"There's obviously been starters ahead of him, but you need guys like this in your squad. And I thought he came into the game and was so direct. Gets into the areas, he was so good."
