Sky Sports Celtic’s Adam Idah shares what Hearts fans threw at him and why he decided to ‘give it back’ to Tynecastle crowd.

Celtic’s victory over Hearts has created a nice little margin at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings this weekend. following Aberdeen and Rangers both dropped points, Celtic took advantage, defeating Hearts convincingly at Tynecastle following a tentative first-half performance from Brendan Rodgers’ side.

Celtic, on the other hand, looked like a different team after Rodgers’ half-time pep talk galvanised them into action, with goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn, and an Adam Idah double sealing the victory and returning the three points to Glasgow. However, there was an incident that Celtic supporters may have missed at Tynecastle when Idah scored his first goal, and the Republic of Ireland striker recounts what happened.

Adam Idah shares the ‘amount of coins’ Hearts supporters threw at the Celtic striker.

After Idah scored his first goal of the game, the Celtic striker immediately cupped his ears to the Hearts support and here, he explains why.

Idah told The Scottish Sun, “I really appreciated it. They were giving me a little while I was warming up, so I decided to reciprocate. I could definitely buy all of my Christmas presents with the pennies on the pitch. “You want to have an impact. I was overjoyed to receive the goals and three points. It was a terrific night all around.”
