The 19-year-old, who scored both goals, the second from the penalty spot, also accused some spectators of racially abusing him.
‘I feel great and scored two but what happened with the banana is sad,’ he said. ‘They were jeering me a lot. This atmosphere of racism is totally sad.’
He added: 'I don't want to make a big deal of it... I'd rather not even talk about it, to keep the subject from escalating.'
The incident took place as the Neymar - strongly linked with a move to Chelsea in the future - was preparing to take his 77th-minute penalty, his second goal of the game.
Tartan Army spokesman Hamish Husband strongly denied the jeers for Neymar were racially motivated.
He said: ‘The reason Neymar was booed was because we believed he was feigning injury. Any suggestion of racism from the Tartan Army today, as far as I am concerned, is absolute tosh.’
The match was played at a neutral venue and it is unclear whether the banana was thrown by a supporter of either side or a neutral.
