There must be a bit of dust in our eye.

Jay Beatty won the Scottish Premiership’s Goal of the Month competition today, with former Celtic hero Georgios Samaras revealing the news to his young pal with this YouTube clip.

Jay lives with Down’s Syndrome and has become a folk hero to Celtic fans, players and management alike.

Samaras, who now plays with Al-Hilal FC, said: “Jay my friend, you and me, we’re the same now, scoring goals. I’m very happy to announce you won the goal of the month.

“Well done pal, great job. I miss you and I love you.”

Here’s Jay’s winning penalty.
