While he is still recovering from the pair he scored in the ‘Old Firm’ during Celtic’s massive 0:4 over Rangers, Liel Abeda continues to stir up the net on a completely different topic. Remember, after one of the goals he scored, the Israeli legionnaire made an emotional gesture by wearing a shirt with the picture of 14-year-old Leon Brown, a die-hard Celtic fan, who died last week after participating in the Tik Tok challenge. Just like what happens to him on the pitch this season, the 20-year-old winger’s Instagram account just explodes from that moment.
“Great goals and an ability to conquer that is only getting better, but the gesture you made to a child is bigger than any goal, it’s moving,” wrote one of the followers of the post shared by Abada after the victory, which received over 31 thousand likes and hundreds of comments. Among the commenters who failed to remain indifferent to Celtic’s young star: Danny Avdia, Yossi Benyon, Nir Biton, Idan Vared, Esi Bouzaglo, Usher David, Ofir Marciano, Tal Ben Haim, Maor Kandil, Ofir Davidzadeh, Shay Elias, Adidas World and of course the other half His, a mesh bar.
As I remember, the two already live together in Glasgow, Scotland, and last night she also couldn’t stand the burst of emotions and pride she felt towards her footballer. Of course Abda did not forget to congratulate her on her return, and shared a photo with her in his story in front of his 110 thousand followers. At his young age, the former Maccabi Fatah player became the fourth active Israeli footballer with the most followers on Instagram – and the number only increases from game to game. Before him on the list are the fresh Premier League player Manor Solomon with 111 thousand followers, while above the two young men you can find another former Celtic player – Nir Beaton , he has 112 thousand followers. Unsurprisingly, in first place, and with a huge gap from the rest of his friends, is Eran Zahavi with 415 thousand followers.
