ST JOHNSTONE celebrated the first League Cup success in the history of the Perth club on Sunday thanks to their 1-0 win over Livingston at Hampden - and the players couldn't help but aim a sly dig towards Celtic.
The Glasgow club, who had won the previous four editions of the tournament, were knocked out by Ross County in the last 16 in a shock defeat back in November.
Saints defeated Motherwell, Dunfermline and Hibs on their route to the final before Shaun Rooney's first-half header saw off David Martindale's Livi on Sunday.
The Perth players posted pictures and videos of the team celebrating the second piece of silverware in the history of the McDiarmid Park club in the afternoon and the evening, and there is one video in particular that has gone viral.
After the players left Hampden, they got back on the team bus to take them home, passing Celtic Park on the way.
That led one person on the bus - who could not be identified - to wave the trophy towards the stadium and ask: "what do you make of that then, eh?", in a video posted on Twitter by @sjfcnews.

The camera then pans around the bus where a man in the corner - who also can't be properly identified - shouts, "we've got your cup!".
