Fans will find Celtic critic’s ‘brass neck’ swipe at Adam Idah vs Young Boys bizarre

Adam Idah played a crucial part in Celtic’s winning goal against Young Boys.

Celtic’s goal came as Idah latched onto a Reo Hatate pass late into the game and as the Republic of Ireland striker drew a save from the ‘keeper, Young Boys’ captain Loris Benito turned the ball into his own net to secure three vital Champions League points.

But it was what happened afterwards that seems to have irked one pundit as he levied a ‘brass neck’ criticism at Idah’s Celtic goal celebration.

Hugh Keevins’ unwarranted Champions League criticism of Celtic’s Adam Idah

Hugh Keevins is a long-time critic of the Hoops and after such a joyous and momentous moment inside Celtic Park, the pundit/journalist still manages to find fault in the historic result.

Keevins wrote in the Daily Record, “When Celtic’s Champions League game against Young Boys was over on Wednesday night, I was tempted to call my old friend Fraser Wishart, the head of PFA Scotland, to ask him if a new category was to be introduced at the Players Union’s annual awards ceremony.

“I thought it could be called the Brass Neck of the Season trophy and I wanted to nominate Celtic’s Adam Idah to be the first recipient of the prize.

“Adam was actually the third last person to touch the ball that created Celtic’s thoroughly merited victory against the Swiss, but he ran off to take the acclaim of the crowd with no visible sign of a blush anywhere to be seen.”

The times Hugh Kevins’ criticism of Celtic has been ‘put straight’

Keevins seems to make a point of criticising Celtic whenever he can and there are many times that even his co-pundits have had to correct his opinions.

Mark Wilson and Gordon Dalziel had to defend Celtic winger Hyunjun Yang after Keevins harshly suggested he was a hindrance to the Hoops in their win over St Mirren.

Reo Hatate was also in the sights of the Celtic critic until Mark Wilson said Keevins questioning the Japanese midfielder’s attitude at the club was ‘unfair’.

Even Jim Duffy wasn’t having criticism of Celtic’s transfer model after the pundit suggested that the Parkhead club were dragging their heels with signings last summer.
