After enduring harsh criticism for his controversial “Shushburger” comments, Todd Cantwell found himself on the receiving end of a clever comeback from Alistair Johnston following Celtic’s triumph over Rangers in the Scottish Cup. Cantwell’s social media musings had riled up the Rangers faithful, but little did he know that his own words would be used against him in a playful gesture by Johnston.
Seizing the opportunity to poke fun at Cantwell, Greg Taylor shared a celebratory image of the Celtic team with the caption “special club” on Instagram. Johnston, known for his cheeky sense of humor, couldn’t resist chiming in with a sly remark directed at Cantwell. His comment – “Eating a 🤐 burger tonight wee man???” – not only took a dig at Cantwell but also elicited laughter from Taylor and Stephen Welsh, who joined in on the banter.
Taylor’s response, complete with crying with laughter and shushing face emojis, indicated his amusement at Johnston’s witty retort. Welsh, adding to the playful exchange, echoed Taylor’s sentiments with a light-hearted “No chance” directed at Johnston. The lighthearted banter among the players quickly gained traction on social media, with Johnston’s clever comment garnering over 2,000 likes from Taylor’s followers.
The playful back-and-forth between Cantwell, Johnston, Taylor, and Welsh showcased the camaraderie and humor shared among teammates despite the rivalry on the pitch. Johnston’s quick wit and Taylor’s playful post added a touch of levity to the post-match reactions, highlighting the lighter side of football camaraderie and sportsmanship amidst fierce competition.
