Liel Abada has opened up for the first time on his tribute to Celtic fan Leon Brown in last month's derby against Rangers.
The Israeli winger held up a T-shirt with the late 14-year-old on it after his death before the game and after taking part in a TikTok challenge online. Abada says he had no hesitation in displaying the tribute during a game, where Celtic went on to win at Parkhead 4-0 thanks to his double, plus Jota and David Turnbull goals.
He said: "Before the game, the mum of the boy called an Israeli guy in Glasgow and he asked me if it was possible to do something. I was the kid's favourite player, he loved me and they were big Celtic supporters. So I said, 'Sure, no problem.' I thought about the T-shirt with the picture and after I scored against Rangers I wanted to show it to the fans."
