Bristol Rovers forward Aaron Collins celebrates remarkable promotion by climbing traffic light and pouring beer on head with fans

It looks like Bristol Rovers forward Aaron Collins misinterpreted the phrase 'going up' after their promotion to League One on Saturday.

Joey Barton's side sensationally won promotion from the fourth tier after a 7-0 win over Scunthorpe on the final day, overtaking Northampton on goal difference.

And, in celebration of scoring two of the goals to help them to their astonishing victory, Collins went 'out out' in Bristol with the club's supporters.

Despite Rovers categorically claiming the players would not be going to Gloucester Road in Bristol on their social media, the club's star striker turned up to party with the fans.

He was seen, first, climbing up a traffic light, before sitting on top of it, drinking a can of whatever alcohol he could get his hands on, and then pouring it on his head - how else do you celebrate promotion?

Whilst some might think Collins might have had a quiet Sunday, he tweeted asking: "We need a lift to the pub?"

You would imagine the club's medical staff would have been a bit nervous watching him ascend the lampost, worried one of their key players might miss the start of their League One campaign next season.

They'll be asking who gave that idea the green light...
