Adam Idah’s future at Norwich City looks increasingly uncertain after manager Johannes Hoff Thorup confirmed disciplinary action against the Irish international. This development has added fuel to the rumours of Idah potentially returning to Celtic, where he had a memorable loan spell last season.
Celtic, Fiorentina, and Hellas Verona are all reportedly interested in securing his services. Amidst this speculation, a notable detail has emerged: Idah remains part of Celtic’s squad WhatsApp group, hinting at his desire to return to Parkhead and the current crop of Celtic players happy to keep Idah in the sacred team chat.

Idah made an immediate impact at Celtic, assisting in an equaliser during his debut against Aberdeen in February 2024. His first start saw him net two penalties, including a last-minute winner against Hibs. In February 2025, Idah came off the bench to score twice against Motherwell, including a dramatic injury-time winner, cementing his status as an unlikely hero.
His man-of-the-match performance in the title-clinching 5-0 win at Kilmarnock in May 2024 further demonstrated his value to the team.
Idah’s loan spell ended on the highest of highs with Celtic’s Scottish Cup final victory over Rangers in May 2024. Subbed on late, he scored the winning goal in the dying moments, capitalising on a goalkeeper error and Bernardo’s set up to seal the victory.
Despite Celtic’s £4.5 million bid being turned down, the club remains keen to bring Idah back. Captain Callum McGregor hinted at Idah’s intentions, saying, “I think he is. He is certainly making all the right noises that he wants to come back. If it works for everybody, we would be delighted to get him back.” he told MailSport.
With fans growing frustrated over slow transfer activity, McGregor urged patience, reassuring supporters that new signings are on the horizon. “We have to have a little bit of patience and trust the guys that are in those positions to do the job,” he said, hinting at reinforcements before the next Champions League campaign.
