In addition to his goal, Adam Idah’s witty reaction to the Tynecastle fans stole the show during Celtic’s resounding 4-1 victory over Hearts on Saturday night. While warming up as a replacement, the striker, who took Kyogo Furuhashi’s place in the second half, was subjected to a flurry of taunts, but he had the ideal response when he scored.
Idah wheeled away in excitement after scoring Celtic’s third goal to essentially end the match and turned to face the Hearts supporters. The 22-year-old made his feelings known by cupping his ear and then making a sharp “shhh” motion, which infuriated the spectators.
After the game, Idah reflected on the occasion and acknowledged that the celebration was a direct reaction to the way the home support had treated him.
Idah told SunSport, “I thought I’d give a bit back because they were giving me a bit when I was warming up.” “With the amount of coins on the pitch, I could probably buy all of my Christmas presents.” However, it’s a little light-hearted, and I was delighted to celebrate in front of both groups of admirers.
The Irishman also expressed his delight at making an impact on the pitch:
“You want to make an impact. I was delighted to get the goals and three points. It was a good night overall.”
The Perfect Celtic Response
Idah’s gesture highlighted the fiery atmosphere at Tynecastle, where the home crowd were vocal from the outset. While his actions might not have won over the Hearts fans, Celtic supporters will have loved seeing one of their own take the opportunity to silence the home support.
The striker’s confidence and swagger come at an ideal time as Celtic look to maintain their grip on the top of the league table. With this latest performance, Idah is showing he has the mentality to thrive under pressure.
