Kieran Tierney, who celebrated a Celtic victory from the Ibrox stands earlier this season, admits he was delighted to be able to savour success on the pitch following the 5-1 win against Rangers on Saturday.
The 19-year-old left-back took his place among the Hoops fans in the Broomloan Road stand when an ankle injury ruled him out of the 2-1 victory in Govan on Hogmanay.
On Saturday, he was one of many star performers against the Light Blues as treble-chasing Celtic romped to a record win at the same stadium.
After Scott Sinclair opened the scoring with an early penalty, Leigh Griffiths lashed a shot past Gers keeper Wes Foderingham and further goals from Callum McGregor, Dedryck Boyata and Mikael Lustig rendered Kenny Miller's strike a mere consolation.
The Celtic players joined their fans at the end to rejoice and Tierney told the club website: "Everybody enjoyed the celebrations.
"I remember the last game on Hogmanay I was in the crowd. I know what it is like to be in there and I know what it is like to be on the pitch now. It was brilliant. We are all buzzing and happy about it."
Griffiths aims to continue on the goal trail until the end of the season after scoring his 15th of the campaign.
The Scotland striker has played second fiddle to Moussa Dembele for most of the season but was given a start at Ibrox due to the French forward's hamstring injury.
He said: "I was part of the squad on New Year's Eve and unfortunately I didn't get on the pitch, but just to be a part of that (5-1) was massive for me.
"I have had my injuries so far this season but I am fully fit now and with Moussa's injury, it gives me a chance to step up and score goals from now until the end of the season.
"(Saturday was) not just about my performance or my goal, it's about the whole team's performance. We were very professional in the way we went about it."
