Celtic striker Adam Idah was heavily involved at Fir Park yesterday in the brief 15 or so minutes he played.
The Irishman got himself on the scoresheet with a terrific first-time finish and was the subject of a horror tackle from Motherwell defender Liam Gordon. How Stuart Kettlewell thinks a red card was harsh for the centre-half is incomprehensible.
Luckily, although he experienced initial numbness, Idah carried on. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers gave a ‘wait and see’ verdict on the knock post-match yesterday, however.
Just eight minutes before Gordon put in an excessive challenge on Idah, the substitute centre-forward found the back of the net.
Nicolas Kuhn got to the bye-line and cut back for the Irishman who, from a few yards out, couldn’t miss.
Another late goal for Idah at Fir Park, he has since taken to Instagram, hailing a productive week for him and his teammates:

After returning to the top of the Scottish Premiership last night, Celtic now turn their attention to Dundee on Wednesday evening.
The clash with Tony Docherty’s side kickstarts an arduous run of three games across three different competitions in just seven days for the Hoops.
Rodgers faces several selection dilemmas for Wednesday, but he will in no way complain about the number of players he has available ahead of a taxing trio of matches.
