Adam Idah reportedly has objects thrown at him after firing Celtic double

Ireland striker Adam Idah appeared to have objects thrown at him from the Hearts end after scoring his first goal for Celtic in their 4-1 win at Tynecastle on Saturday.

The Corkman came off the bench to score two late goals for Celtic after Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn had broken the deadlock to give the league leaders a 2-0 lead.

But as Idah celebrated in front of the Hearts fans, Sky Sports reporter Luke Shanley reported that objects were being thrown at the striker.

When it was put to Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, he said: "I didn't see that, but it's never good."

What was good, as far as the Hoops boss is concerned, is that his team now has a three-point cushion to fall back on after Aberdeen fell to defeat against St Mirren earlier on Saturday. They're also now 11 ahead of bitter rivals Rangers after they also dropped points against Dundee United.

Rodgers said: "We showed some good signs in the first half, but the second half we were much better, much cleaner with our possession. If your nearest rivals drop points, then of course you want to take advantage of that.

"It's still very early in the season, but it's good to get the win. This is a very tough game but we've managed the game very well and got the three points. I'm really pleased. We've just got to keep focusing and keep that intensity."
