# Celtic: Fans loved Ryan Christie and Jeremie Frimpong’s goal celebration against Hearts

**Celtic duo Ryan Christie and Jeremie Frimpong elicited plenty of reaction from a number of Hoops supporters over one moment in their team’s midweek win at Tynecastle.**

The former opened the scoring for Celtic after 28 minutes in the 2-0 victory over Hearts on Wednesday night, latching onto a backheel from Odsonne Edouard to drive the ball low past Joel Pereira. \[[via BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50738355)\]

As he ran to celebrate his [17th goal of the season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-christie/leistungsdaten/spieler/188077), he was joined by Frimpong and the two then engaged in a choreographed handshake routine, as per a clip shared by [@CelticGoal](https://twitter.com/CelticGoal/status/1207394584189394944) on Twitter.

Speaking to [BT Sport](https://sport.bt.com/) after the match \[[via Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ryan-christie-explains-quirky-celtic-21125372)\], Christie was adamant that the elaborate celebration was the brainchild of the teenage right-back, saying: “That was Jezza’s idea, I’m putting the blame on him! I’m sure I’ll get a bit of stick for that in the week to come.”

Olivier Ntcham doubled Celtic’s lead shortly before half-time and they ran out comfortable winners to open a five-point gap at the top of the Premiership, albeit with Rangers having a game in hand. \[[via BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50738355)\]

These Hoops fans on Twitter greatly enjoyed the celebration between Christie and Frimpong following the first goal of the night:
