This is the hilarious moment a steward couldn't contain their celebrations after Celtic scored against Rangers.

A clip shared on social media highlighted the joyous jumping celebration from a steward behind the goal.

The Hampden marshal - who was facing the crowd - leapt into the air immediately after Adam Idah's strike hit the net.

However, within a second the steward was back in position as if nothing ever happened after the instant emotional reaction.

The safety officer - dubbed 'Rod Steward' for the celebration - jumped with outstretched arms over Idah's finish but quickly resumed a standing position after remembering they were on duty.

The marshal then celebrated with a more subtle fist pump in the hilarious moment captured in the background of TV coverage of the showpiece final.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has insisted he is hopeful to strike a transfer deal to sign Idah on permanent terms.

He said: "Hopefully very realistic. For me, he was the catalyst for our season because we needed a different dimension up front and the big guy comes in and he's got so much potential.

" What I love about Adam is he's a big game player, he loves the big games and the big occasions so hopefully we can do something.

"He's still got a long term deal at Norwich but he's definitely someone I'd love to bring back here.

"At 23, with the potential he has and the qualities he has, I think he can really push on in his career."
