Adam Idah has made a bold claim about Celtic before they take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Celtic will be the underdogs in the tie against Bayern Munich. That will not come as a surprise to anyone. But nobody in the building is giving up before a ball is kicked though.
Idah started the first leg at Celtic Park and Brendan Rodgers opted to keep him in the side for the win over Dundee United where he scored a belting goal. Post the January transfer window, there was a lot of talk about why Celtic didn’t bring in another striker following Kyogo Furuhashi’s exit.
Such a move was one of the bankers of the weekend. Idah is manager Brendan Rodgers’ preferred option to perform the No 9 role. As Celtic defeated Raith Rovers 5-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, the Irishman remained huddled up in his tracksuit as an unused substitute.
Adam Idah played a massive part in Celtic’s midweek Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich – perhaps for the wrong reason. Brendan Rodgers entrusted the Irishman to lead the line against the Bundesliga giants instead of Daizen Maeda, who ran riot in the Raith Rovers victory through the middle.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers became Ireland striker Adam Idah’s chief cheerleader when he signed him a little over a year ago and the payback he’s been waiting for is now being cashed in.
