TWAS the night before Christmas, when all through the city, not a creature was stirring, but Celtic's Ryan Christie...
That's the scene in the Parkhead side's Christmas advert for 2020 which stars the Scotland hero and teammate Callum McGregor in their pyjamas.
Narrated by boss Neil Lennon, the ad features the famous festive poem as the pair go on a mission to save the holiday for fans.
Elsewhere, the typically light-hearted clip turns the Parkhead first team squad into reindeer for the occasion
And it hasn't taken long for Celtic fans to share their appreciation for the ad.
One wrote: "We are all that little boy right now."
Another responded: "Fantastic, as it is every year."
Another said: "Just watched itwith my three-year-old daughter and she absolutely loved it. Never took her eyes off it."
Leigh Griffiths is cast in the role as Santa's Little Helper, the elf assuring a young Celtic fan that life will return to normal soon.
"The bit where the wee boy asks when he can see the Celtic again..." one fan added.
The video got one supporter into the festive spirit as they wrote: "That's it! Tunes on and the tree is going up."
And another said: "This is the Best Christmas advert ever."
