Claudio has the Braga rights as stunning double in fightback has fans going ga-ga for him

August 25, 2025

HEARTS fans were going gaga after seeing their team come back from 3-0 down to draw with Motherwell.

- DARREN JOHNSTONE AT TYNECASTLE

And it was not just because Queen's classic anthem was being belted out over the PA system.

Claudio Braga's second-half double was a worthy reason to play Radio Ga Ga, with Jambos creating a ditty to that tune in honour of the Portuguese ace.

It was a far cry from the previous weekend when Braga left the pitch in tears after he missed the only penalty in the Premier Sports Cup shootout defeat to St Mirren.

But his off-the-cuff play and five goals in eight games has endeared him to the supporters and the 25-year-old summer recruit is delighted he has already become a Gorgie favourite.

He said: "It's always good when the fans are on your side - and getting a song so early and getting the support I felt from the crowd, I'm delighted with that.

"I'm very, very happy because it was already a dream to come here.

"So to get here and make the impact that I've had, I'm very grateful to God

"When I heard the song for the first time, I was shocked. In my head I was like, 'Jesus, I don't think anybody will learn that song'.

"And then they just started singing the whole song and I was even more shocked.
