Your side has a two-goal advantage when Scott Sinclair rises highest to thud a header past you.
Due to the away goals rule, you are now just one goal away from getting knocked out. There are 12 minutes left.
What do you do? The answer is, of course, waste time.
How? Well, by laying on the ball.
And when Celtic players approach to retrieve the ball, well, you’ll double down and grip to it for dear life, morphing your innocent attempt to waste time into a rugby maul.
Well done, Vasilios Barkas, you have just taken time wasting to a whole new level.
