Celtic hero Adam Idah gave an open-ended response when asked about his future after beating Rangers at Hampden.
The striker scored the late winning goal in a 1-0 Scottish Cup derby victory, slamming the ball past goalkeeper Jack Butland before wheeling away to celebrations in the Celtic end.
Idah is on loan from Norwich City and is due to return to the Championship club this summer before a decision is made on his long-term future.
The Republic of Ireland international has made it clear he loves the Bhoys but has stated the nature of football means he can’t give a definitive answer on where he’ll be playing next season.
Adam Idah unclear on Celtic stay
Speaking to BBC Scotland post-match at Hampden, Idah said: “I said I’d come here to try and score as many goals as I could, I didn’t think I’d score a goal like this in front of all these fans. It’s an amazing feeling.
“It’s hard to put into words. Anyone here can see what it means to the fans, to the players. I’ve always supported Celtic, it’s amazing.
“Football is tricky. I love it here, I’ve said it previously, it’s a great club but I’m still contracted to Norwich. I’ll go back in the summer and who knows?”
Idah scored a superb nine goals in his half-season on loan. Several of them were crucial to winning matches including a turnaround double against Motherwell, a late derby goal at Ibrox and, of course, Saturday’s cup-winning effort.
Manager Brendan Rodgers is a noted admirer and often takes the opportunity to talk up his ability and potential in the media.
Reports indicate he could cost as much as £5m in the transfer market and Celtic have yet to signal whether they’ll pursue his signature at that kind of price.
Regardless of his future, you have to say that Idah’s switch to the Bhoys has been a massive success. He’ll be a hero for life in one half of Glasgow, even if he doesn’t return to Scotland.
