Michael Beale has backed Alfredo Morelos over his Tynecastle celebrations and claimed Neil McCann would regret calling the Rangers striker an "idiot".
Former Hearts and Rangers winger McCann made the comment on radio after Morelos ran towards the home fans and put his finger to his mouth when a VAR check confirmed his second goal in Gers' 3-0 win.
The Colombia striker had also celebrated the opener in a similar manner and McCann claimed he was "antagonising" the Hearts supporters
When McCann's comments were put to him, Rangers manager Beale said: "I wouldn't agree with that. I think the Hearts supporters were maybe trying to incite Alfredo for the whole 90-plus minutes.
"If we are going to say players can't celebrate goals now, we might as well stop the game.
"There was a long stoppage for that goal and he was 20-plus yards from them.
"I think a lot is made about these things in Scotland. When I worked down south I have never known this to be a big thing
