Celtic fans were left furious with Premier Sports yesterday afternoon as the channel froze just before Kris Ajer's decisive penalty kick in the shootout.
Supporters had watched the entire 120 minutes of action with both sides sitting at 3-3 when issues began with the service. But just as Ajer stepped up - having seen teammate Conor Hazard keep out Stephen Kingsley and Craig Wighton - Premier's live coverage stopped on Craig Gordon - to the fury of those watching from home.
One fan shared a sweary video on social media showing off the exact moment the footage froze, with a 'Back Soon' message appearing on screen before showing Ajer sprinting off in celebration - despite missing the kick.
Other supporters revealed their own frustration and told how they switched over to BBC Scotland for the shootout.
One said: "Happened to me as well. When it cut back to Ajer running I didn't know if he'd scored or a dug was chasing him." Another added: "Mine done the same mate f***in unbelievable."
"Thought it was just me - the most surreal way to win a treble I've ever experienced," added another. A fourth moaned: "Happened to everyone on Premier".
