Celtic defender Greg Taylor shared a heartwarming photo of himself cuddling younger brother Ally after the pair squared-off against each other in the Premiership yesterday.

Kilmarnock were the visitors to Parkhead where older sibling Greg's side came out on top with a 3-1 win to extend their lead at the top of the table over Rangers to 12 points.

Ally Taylor, 18, came off the bench for the visitors to make his league debut in the first-team and Greg was quick to tell of his beaming pride for his bro. He wrote on Instagram: "Another good performance and win... Congrats @allytaylor33 so proud of you mate".

The snap racked up more than 11,000 likes on social media as Celtic stars had a laugh with their teammate over his post. Jeremie Frimpong wrote: "Aww friendsss", while Nir Bitton joked: "Ohhhh so cute".

Tony Watt added: "That's unreal", while Billy Gilmour commented: "Big pic."

Youngster Ally couldn't help his team overcome the 3-1 lead Celtic had opened up when the midfielder came on thanks to goals from Kris Ajer, Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths.

Eamonn Brophy had earlier given Killie a shock lead from the penalty spot.
