A SCOTTISH actor has shown off his Celtic top with Jota's name printed across the back, as he celebrated today's win.

Tony Curran watched the Hoops' 4-1 victory against St Johnstone this afternoon at a pub in London.

The Marvel and Mayflies actor, originally from Glasgow, has previously dubbed himself a "mad Celtic fan".

During today's game, in which Kyogo, Mooy and Turnbull all scored, Tony shared a photo of him wearing a green training top, which had 'Jota' and '17' inscribed on it.

One person replied: "Love it Tony."

Another added: "Nice top Tony, belter."

The 53-year-old has recently featured in the moving two-part BBC drama Mayflies, alongside fellow Scots actor Martin Compston.

During an interview in December 2022, he said: “I was so happy when I found out Martin was going to be playing Jimmy.

“As Tully and Jimmy mainly drive our story and they are extremely close friends, they’ve known each other since they were kids, almost like brothers. It was important that we had to feel that kinship between them, a history, kind of bromance if you will.

“It’s always a joy working with Martin, he’s always so present and giving as an actor and of course he’s also a mad Celtic fan like myself.”
