Hold my beer.
On Sunday, Celtic achieved Scottish footballing immortality. A nerve-shredding shootout victory over Hearts in the Scottish Cup final lifted Neil Lennons side to the quadruple-treble.
A perfect dozen. 12 competitions, 12 wins. An unprecedented feat or so Celtic thought.
After seeing off Hearts in the Hampden Park decider, the Hoops tweeted: A world first. The #QuadrupleTreble winners, Celtic Football Club.
However, Gibraltar side Lincoln Red Imps took exception to the second and third word of that tweet.
Responding to Celtics tweet, the minnows said: Hold my beer. The #QuintupleTreble 2003/04, 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07 and 2007/08.
Lincoln won the Gibraltar Football League, the Rock Cup and the Gibraltar League Senior Cup every year between 2004 and 2008.
However, prior to 2014, Gibraltar was not recognised as an official Uefa nation.
Of course, this is not the first time the Red Imps have been a thorn in Celtics side. In 2016, they produced one of the greatest shocks in recent history by beating the Scottish Premiership champions in their Champions League qualifier.
The result marked a humiliating start to Brendan Rodgers reign as Celtic boss. The Glasgow giants did bounce back, however, running out 3-0 winners in the return leg at home to progress to the next qualifying round.
Speaking after Celtics win over Hearts, Martin ONeill who managed Lennon at Celtic said he was delighted for his former player.
Im delighted for him, ONeill told BBC Scotland.
Hes taken a lot of stick in recent months, I think its really uncalled for as well because we are witnessing the 12th successive domestic trophy which hes been a large part of in many aspects.
I really cant believe it. It saddens me to think of him under that kind of pressure. Its not respite for him anymore; its a great evening for them.
