Adam Idah is feeling no pressure at all these days.

The Celtic striker has found his confidence again as a Hoops player as well as his shooting boots with the big man notching four goals in his last three outings up top.

Idah‘s form coincides with Kyogo’s exit but the Irishman had gone through a barren run before coming up big vs Aston Villa in the Champions League.

Manager Brendan Rodgers was always proud of Idah’s contributions and made it clear the 23-year-old has been a handful for his team.

He hit the second for Celts in their 6-0 hammering of Dundee last night amid the swirling negativity from the deadline day fallout.

Celtic failed to bring in a new striker to properly replace Kyogo and fans were livid at what some described as a “shocking” January window with only Jeffrey Schlupp arriving.

Adam Idah had a message for Celtic fans

But if Idah can keep up his run of form and build more momentum, fans will likely forget all about their former Japanese forward and how the club struggled to adapt.

Idah had a message for punters after last night’s victory as his goal was added to by a Daizen Maeda double, an Arne Engels brace and a stunner from Nicolas Kuhn late on.

Taking to his Instagram page, the target man posted a love-in for supporters with an image from the match of himself celebrating his effort.

He wrote: “Another top night at home”, accompanied by a green love heart emoji.

It was a simple message for the fanbase to get behind and racked up more than 10,000 likes on his post.

Idah has hit the goals trail at the ideal time for Celtic

Idah’s form has come at the perfect time for the club who now also have Jota on the wing supplying his teammate with assists.

Maeda has also hit the goals trail this season alongside Kuhn.

The Hoops will need to be at their best if they are to challenge in the Champions League knockout playoff against Bayern Munich.

But Idah has perhaps not been more confident in green and white than right now.
