Adam Idah is living the dream of many Celtic fans right now.

After excelling on loan in the 23/24 season, scoring the winner in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers, Idah made his move permanent.

Celtic paid big bucks for him, parting with almost £10m to bring him to Parkhead and has had big shoes to fill.

The departure of Kyogo Furuhashi in January 2025 elevated the Ireland international’s status to first-choice number nine and has dealt with the pressure well so far.

A boyhood Celtic fan, Idah is keen to repay the faith shown by Brendan Rodgers and continue to guide his beloved side to glory.
