Adam Idah has responded to recent criticism in style, taking to social media after scoring in Celtic’s impressive 5-0 victory over St Johnstone at Hampden yesterday.
Idah’s performance was a reminder of what he’s capable of, especially after facing some criticism recently. Since joining Celtic permanently in the summer, the Irish forward has shown glimpses of the form that saw him become a huge part of the team towards the end of last season, though he’s sometimes struggled to make a consistent impact. His goal against St Johnstone, however, proved that he can be an important part of the team when given the chance.

The goal came at an important time for the Irish forward, who had faced some tough scrutiny in recent weeks. Celtic captain Callum McGregor defended Idah, stressing the importance of backing teammates through challenging moments.
For Celtic supporters, the win was another important step towards a potential domestic treble, and Idah’s goal added an extra boost to what was already a dominant performance.
The victory secured a place in the final next month, where Celtic will face Aberdeen. As the reaches the final month, fans will hope that this goal marks the beginning of a more consistent run of form for Idah.
Idah has started the last two games for Celtic, and while he didn’t score against Kilmarnock, his goal against St Johnstone was a reminder of his goalscoring threat.
If he can maintain the form he showed towards the end of last season, he is likely to keep his place in the starting XI.
It’s encouraging to hear that Idah is motivated for the final weeks of the season, and Celtic fans should keep an eye on him over the next month. With his determination to prove the doubters wrong, he could play a key role as Celtic push to end the season in style.
