When you are packed into the away section at Ibrox during a tense, chaotic Glasgow derby shootout between Celtic and Rangers, tunnel vision naturally takes over.
After a gruelling 120 minutes of backs-to-the-wall defending, Celtic fans were fully fixated on the penalty spot, riding every single wave of emotion as Martin O’Neill’s side edged closer to the Scottish Cup semi-finals at Rangers’ expense.
Delirium reached a fever pitch when Djeidi Gassama stepped up and blazed his crucial spot-kick high over the crossbar.
The away end erupted into absolute pandemonium. However, because they were so caught up in the joyous chaos of mocking the terrible miss, many travelling supporters completely missed the pure comedy unfolding right behind the goal.
You can pick any Celtic player from history to take a penalty to win a game…
Who do you pick and why?
Rangers fans were already leaving before Tomas Cvancara could score Celtic’s winning penalty
Watching the footage back of Celtic’s penalty shootout win over Rangers, it is absolute gold.
The exact second Gassama’s penalty sailed into orbit, sections of the home support simply threw in the towel.
And frankly, who could blame them? Only moments before, Gers captain James Tavernier had already fluffed his lines – crumbling exactly when it mattered most.
Rather than sticking around to pray for a miracle save, some disgruntled Rangers fans immediately flipped up their blue seats and headed straight for the exits.
They had completely surrendered, leaving Tomas Cvancara to confidently slot home his winning penalty in front of a furiously angry, Spider-Man-inspired Ibrox crowd.
Rangers, the gift that keeps on giving!
