Adam Idah hits late winner for Celtic
For the first time for the club, the striker scored twice when Celtic won three points against that of Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League.Ahead of the game, Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers praised the Corkman, saying he has every chance of becoming a top-flight player.The Antrim man did not hesitate to give Idah a first for the club after signing from Norwich City last week. He made an immediate impact in his first match against Aberdeen on Saturday, assisting Nicholas Kühn in a 1-1 draw.
It took only ten minutes for Idah to open his account for the Glasgow club when he converted his spot kick to make it 1-0 to Celtic.
Hibernian equalised in the second half when Dylan Leviit levelled the tie on sixty minutes for the home side.
However, Celtic won a stoppage time penalty thanks to an intervention from VAR. Idah once more stepped up and coolly dispatched his spot kick to the delight of the Bhoys fans behind the goal
Celtic have been inconsistent from penalties, but Idah continued his perfect career penalty record.
andquot;He previously won six penalties and scored a superb penalty for Ireland against the Netherlands,andquot; Brendan Rodgers said in his post-match speech.andquot;You just see how he can handle that; he knows it’s a free kick. There will also be a psychological test against David Marshall, who has had an amazing career. And he succeeded. It was a great night for him.andquot;.
