Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers praised Adam Idah’s impact after the on-loan striker scored the goal that won the Scottish Cup.
Idah came off the bench at Hampden and netted the winner against Rangers in the 90th minute, securing the famous trophy for his team and making sure that the were double winners following their Premiership title triumph.
The cup-winning goal was Idah’s ninth since his January loan move from Norwich and Rodgers was full of enthusiasm and praise for the 23-year-old’s efforts.
And while the Republic of Ireland striker will now return to his parent club, Rodgers’ words suggested that he has told the Celtic hierarchy that he would like Idah to return to Parkhead on a permanent basis this summer. The Celtic boss said that he knew that Idah had ability and that has a “high ceiling” in terms of improvement in the future.
