OSMAND JUST PRODUCED THE BIGGEST SH*THOUSE OF HIS CAREER AFTER SCORING AGAINST RANGERS

It was the kind of finish that turns a promising name into a nightmare for the opposition and a meme for the internet. Callum Osmand — the 19-year-old summer recruit who has been talked up ever since Celtic snapped him up from Fulham — came off the bench and put the final nail in Rangers’ coffin with a cool, close-range finish in extra time, sealing a 3–1 victory that will be replayed, remixed and roasted across social feeds for days.

For context: this was only Osmand’s second appearance in a Hoops shirt and his first senior goal for Celtic. That makes the moment equal parts fairy tale and cold-water reality check for Rangers — a club who, having laboured through the contest, suddenly found themselves undone by a youngster who arrived at Parkhead on a four-year deal this summer. The image of Osmand converting Kieran Tierney’s low cross and wheeling away in celebration will be the lasting one from a frantic Scottish League Cup semi-final.

Why fans are calling it a “sh*thouse” (and why the label fits)

Two things amplify the slap in the face: timing and theatre. The goal came in extra time — a period when nerves fray and reputations are made or broken. Rangers had shown grit to get back into the match, but Osmand’s composed finish at 109 minutes was not just a goal; it was an exclamation mark. Social channels lit up instantly: Celtic’s official X account posted the moment as euphoria swept through the Parkhead support, while threads on Reddit and fan timelines exploded with the type of delighted, savage glee reserved for derby revenge.

For a player who hadn’t yet forced his way into regular selection, delivering in a match of this magnitude is career-defining. Scouts and pundits love an underdog storyline, but rivals will remember the sting. Rangers supporters — and the neutrals who enjoy a good old-fashioned meltdown — were not shy about labeling the moment with the sort of culinary profanity that sticks to club folklore.

How Celtic and Osmand will spin this

From Celtic’s perspective, the moment is a masterstroke: youth recruitment vindicated, squad depth proven, and a morale boost ahead of a busy run of fixtures. The club’s social channels were quick to amplify the image and the narrative — not just a goal but the beginning of a new storyline: “Osmand arrives, Osmand delivers.” That spin matters; it feeds the young striker’s confidence and the club’s PR machine alike.

What this means for Osmand personally

Callum Osmand’s move from Fulham was billed as one for the future; now, the future has a deadline. A first senior goal in a cup semi-final is the kind of stat that guarantees a player minutes, headlines and, crucially, patience from the manager. Transfermarkt and player databases have already started to populate his profile with the new milestone — small details, but the kind that compound into a credible CV for a 19-year-old. Expect opportunities to follow.

The ripples beyond the result

Derby games are as much about bragging rights as points, and moments like Osmand’s goal create social currency. Memes, clips and reaction videos will dominate the timeline; journalists will write think-pieces about youth policy and transfer strategy; pundits will dissect whether this spells a long-term role or a glorious cameo. For Rangers, it’s an uncomfortable reminder that derbies are won by fine margins — and sometimes by a fresh face who simply refuses to be phased.

The takeaway (short and blunt)

Callum Osmand scored his first Celtic goal at the perfect possible moment — extra time of a derby semi-final — and in doing so produced what the internet gleefully calls the biggest “sh*thouse” of his career so far. It’s a headline you can’t ignore, a clip you’ll keep seeing, and a moment that might just turn a young striker into a Celtic cult hero overnight.
