Craig Beattie's Winner For Hearts Against Celtic And Other Great Topless Celebrations (VIDEO)

WATCH: Topless Stunners - Craig Beattie And The Best Shirtless Celebrations

Refereeing controversy was talk-of-the-town in Scotland too yesterday, after Hearts and Celtic's Scottish Cup semi-final.

Referee Euan Norris' decision to award the Jambos a stoppage-time penalty against Celtic for a Joe Ledley handball appeared to be harsh, but up stepped ex-Celt Craig Beattie.

The 28-year-old coolly slotted the ball down the middle to win the game and ensure Hearts would return to Hampden Park to face Hibernian in the final, before embarking in one of football's best celebrations in recent years.

More memorable than his finish, as Hearts fans revelled in the goonage, Beattie whipped off his shirt and began what could be described as a quarter lap of honour in front of the Maroon hordes.

Frantically moving like Bill Murray on a cross trainer, it was refreshing to see a wonderful celebration in the age of cringing dance-offs, name-pointing and chicken dances.

So in tribute to Beattie, here are some other great topless celebrations...

TEMURI KETSBAIA, 1998 PREMIERSHIP SEASON

The Georgian needs no words...

RYAN GIGGS, 1999 FA CUP SEMI-FINAL REPLAY

One of the greatest goals ever which sparked one of the greatest pitch invasions, wedged in between was Giggs losing it after his mazy run and thumping finish for United's pre-Solskjaer money shot moment in the Treble-winning season

BRANDI CHASTAIN, 1999 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP

This is SFW (safe for work). A memorable moment which has done for wonders for US soccer, Chastain celebrated her World Cup clincher by gleefully whipping off her shirt in Pasadena's Rose Bowl as the US beat China 5-4 on penalties.
