Previously unseen footage has shown Auston Trusty’s elite mentality after Celtic took a two-goal lead against Aberdeen in last night’s Premier Sports Cup semi-final.
The Hoops were no match for the Dons, putting on a show of football dominance.
It took the Bhoys a while to get into their groove, but when they eventually did, they were devastating.
Daizen Maeda bagged a hat-trick, as Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Nicolas Kuhn also got in on the act.
It was a night to remember for the Hoops at the National Stadium as they easily booked their place in next month’s showpiece final.
Post-match, some previously unseen footage has emerged of Celtic centre-half Trusty after his side went 2-0 up through Kyogo.
The Japanese frontman rattled home via the crossbar to give his side some breathing space. After he passionately celebrated and was getting back into position for the restart, Trusty could be seen dishing out orders.
Quite visibly, the big defender told Kyogo to keep his head and go for three, four, and five:

While some might argue this moment is insignificant, it proves the elite mentality within the Celtic dressing room.
Trusty only joined Celtic at the end of August but already comprehends and drives the club’s high standards.
His teammates undoubtedly heeded his instructions as they romped to an emphatic victory, which sent out a message to everyone in Scottish football.
