Adam Idah’s last-gasp winner in Saturday’s Scottish Cup final will live long in the memory of every Celtic supporter.
One of the most iconic goals in the recent history of the club, it potentially even matches the jubilant scenes that Tom Rogic’s goal against Aberdeen back in 2017 sparked.
Particularly due to how events were unfolding at the National Stadium with the Hoops on the ropes in the closing stages, the winner was all the sweeter.
There was some initial doubt that Idah was offside but quickly, he was adjudged to have been on and the goal was given.
Substitute Paulo Bernardo evaded Nicolas Raskin’s challenge to make a deep, driving run from the halfway line towards goal.
He powerfully had a pop and Jack Butland couldn’t handle it, palming to the feet of the grateful Idah who couldn’t miss. His tap-in sparked some glorious scenes:
