Adam Idah in Race to become a hero at Celtic

The Cork man will always remember his time at Parkhead if he helps Celtic win the double against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final.

Scotland’s champions CELTIC are focusing on the Scottish Cup final,

where Brendan Rodgers and his team will try to defeat Rangers and win the double.

Next Saturday at Hampden Park, both clubs will be attempting to make history as it is the firs

t meeting between them at this point in the competition since 2002.

In addition to preventing their enduring rivals from winning the double following a domestic clean sweep last season,

Rangers will aim to win the double, something the team last accomplished in 2008.

This season, the striker has already scored for Celtic in the derby; however, in the beginning of April,

at Ibrox, Rabbi Matondo cancelled out his shot in the 88th minute.

Notwithstanding the late setback,

the Hoops were credited with a major victory since they prevented the

Rangers from gaining a legitimate lead in the championship race.

After their local rivals lost ground to Ross County and Dundee,

Celtic’s lead at the top expanded, and today, just a few months ago, it appeared impossible that they would win both titles.

This made it easier for the team to stay up with the leaders in a race

that saw two teams who hadn’t looked up until the last few weeks.

The cherry on top is that Idah’s penalty kick conversion during t

he shootout win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semifinals at Hampden Park sealed the deal.

The striker’s stint in Parkhead hasn’t been flawless;

on a night when Celtic should have taken a significant lead in the title race when Rangers lost at home to Motherwell,

he missed a penalty against Hearts at Tynecastle Park.

Despite this, his accomplishments have won over Parkhead’s supporters and management team,

and there are already rumors that his loan period will be extended.

After the highs of Ange Postecoglou, who departed Celtic last summer for Premier League team

Tottenham Hotspur after leading them to the treble,

the striker will be remembered as the super sub who got the double over the line at the conclusion of a lackluster year.

It fell to Brendan Rodgers to carry on the Australian’s job, and his return to Parkhead was anything but smooth.

In the Champions League, Celtic came in last in their group, and their Scottish Premiership play has been characterized as sluggish and lacking in flair.

Since moving to Glasgow, Idah has contributed by emerging as Celtic’s go-to guy in crucial situations,

allowing him to finish as a double-winner.

In the coming weeks, he might become Celtic hero.
