The Portuguese striker sealed an impressive 3-0 win at Kilmarnock after Craig Halkett had nodded the Tynecastle side into a halftime lead.

It sealed victory for boss Derek McInnes on his return to Rugby Park as Hearts threw down the gauntlet to champions Celtic.

And Braga said: "It's amazing to hear the fans sing my name. I can't lie. I sing it every day!

“I didn't expect to be this successful when I signed - even though I was always going to try my best. But to do what we are doing with this group, and individually too, is very good.”
