| Mirko justifies strip show |

Roma striker Mirko Vucinic has explained his bizarre stripping celebration after netting the winner against Cagliari yesterday.
The Montenegrin international had been having a poor game and was jeered by some fans at the Stadio Olimpico.
But he popped up to score the crucial fifth goal of the game and celebrated by removing his short and shorts.
“Why did I remove everything, including my shorts? Because I was having a bad game - I felt almost sick with joy when I scored and I will remember it forever,” Vucinic explained to Sky Sport Italia.
“It wasn't easy this evening and I spurned four or five decent chances, so I was so happy to have decided the game.
“I was tired after four days out. My knee hadn't allowed me to train, but that's no excuse. I deserved to be booed and even my brother was probably heckling me.”
Vucinic received a booking for his celebration and claims he didn't expect the card.
“I told the referee that I had another shirt on so he shouldn't book me for taking it off, but he told me that the yellow card was for taking my shorts off, which annoyed me,” the hitman concluded.
