Adam Idah netted a brace from the penalty spot to give Celtic a vital in Leith.
With Brendan Rodgers having never won at Easter Road as Celtic manager, tonight’s victory was vital. Despite a poor performance, ultimately, the result was the most important thing.
Some wrote Idah off before he joined the club, with his record at Norwich City not the most impressive.
However, the determination to score twice from the spot and self-belief he showed against Hibernian was there for all to see.
Idah’s character simply cannot be questioned, and he clearly has an elite mentality. Despite the pressure of the Celtic support on his shoulders, in stoppage time, he answered emphatically.
The Irishman, who came to Celtic desperate for first-team football, has been highly praised by Rodgers previously, even comparing him to Moussa Dembele and saying, “he is arguably greater than the Frenchman” was when he joined the Bhoys. This praise and words from Rodgers were evident in Idah’s display tonight.
Idah will likely start against St. Mirren on Sunday as the Hoops continue their defence of the Scottish Cup on Sunday afternoon in Paisley at St. Mirren Park.
