FIFA have shared the brilliant video of the Celtic celebrations at Tynecastle in April 2017 after clinching the title away to Hearts.

Brendan Rodgers Bhoys thrashed the Edinburgh side 5-0 to get over the line during the Invincibles season.

It sparked scenes of celebration amongst the support and the players. The party carried on into the dressing room afterwards.

A now-famous video featuring the entire squad dancing to the Kolo Toure song, including the man himself, was posted by the club and subsequently went viral.

Now FIFA have shared the footage with their 14.1m followers today, wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to the Ivory Coast legend.

Toure only played 17 times for Celtic in total, six of which were from the bench, but he made his mark with teammates and supporters, eventually becoming a first-team coach during the Rodgers years.

He’s undoubtedly a cult hero.

Still working with his former manager at Leicester City, I hope Toure is having a magic birthday and perhaps even gets a rendition of his song somewhere, somehow.

It’s fantastic to see this footage again. Given the horrors of this season, I’d almost forgotten about it.

Hopefully Celtic can get back to those kinds of scenes before long.

In other news, Jesse Marsch has reportedly turned down the chance to manage Celtic.
