Fans naming children after their favourite footballer isn't exactly uncommon. For a player to do it? That's a little more unusual.

Posting Sunday on Instagram, Celtic midfielder Beram Kayal announced the birth of his first child and revealed the boy's name to be Pirlo Kayal. As if that weren't brilliant enough, he finished the post with #NoPirlo #NoParty.

The full post read:

"Today I have been graced with the birth of my first child Pirlo kayal. My wife Angela and Pirlo are both doing well. It's been an emotional day, especially for my parents who have came to see the birth of their first grandchild. I would like to thank everyone for all their support and messages. I also thank god for everything he has blessed me with and today he has blessed me with a son . #nopirlo #noparty"

Congratulations to Beram, Angela and little baby Pirlo!
