Celtic's 3-2 away win at Spartak Moscow was a sweet moment for the club's supporters, but it was particularly special for one fan in particular.

Neil Lennon's side recorded their first ever away victory in the Champions League group stages, having failed to win on the road in the competition proper since a European Cup result against Shamrock Rovers in 1986.

Georgios Samaras netted the winner as the Scottish champions came from 2-1 down to win in Russia, meaning one optimistic punter's 240/1 shot came up.

@barrybhoy1916 posted his winning slip on Twitter, having backed Celtic to win 3-2 and for Gary Hooper to score first.

Unfortunately for him, he only put on £2, but still landing a £482 return. Not a bad night all round, then.
