    Pretty poor performance from Adam today. Looks off the pace. Hopefully the near 60 minutes do him the world of good and he can catch up with the rest of the squad soon fitness wise.

    Looking at Idahs history, the last 6 months aside, theres nothing there - it very well could have been a purple patch.

    We just need to hope it wasn't and trust Brendan has got this right.

    Was also never settled in the team. In and out. Norwich turned down loads of loan opportunities. Very mismanaged.
    Rodgers git the best of him and if listens and gets to a celtic standard of fitness he'll be golden.
    Think a lot of english sides underestimate the standards ans fitness that celtic live by. Much highwr than the championship and a chunk of epl sides..

    The reason he signed him in the first place was the impact he made in the English Prem. He’s a quality player who will be brilliant for us.

    Hopefully once he's up to match sharpness he proves me wrong, but I had reservations about signing him even at the 6m figure that was initially being thrown about, he did grab some important goals last season but that Killie game aside his all round performances didn't really blow me away, think some went overboard after the cup final desperate to sign him but honestly there were some games he looked every bit as raw and clumsy as Oh in front of goal, he is probably an upgrade but not a huge one for me, yet.

    Not gonna slate him. He was off it today in terms of match sharpness. He still made really good runs and pulled defenders away creating space. He'll be fine once up to speed.

    He 100% needs a strong run of games, today would have be used as a perfect way to get him ready for being a super sub against huns and rest Kyogo after he nurses that shoulder.

    No doubt as season progresses he will likely start sneaking more and more first 11 starts

    Aye looked off it today but he’s only just back in the door and trying to get back up to match sharpness.

    No doubt in my mind he will come good once he’s back fully fit and sharp.

    Movement terrific. Bit of match sharpness missing then the goals are flying in.

    He was making brilliant runs. A bit of rust and "pressure" of knowing he's actually signed will play it's part for a bit. He looks a great talent. Probably come on next week and score.

    He occupied their defence well but you can see he's missing sharpness which will come.

    I'd be worried if we were locked in a title race and he was playing like that in the run in causing us to drop points.

    Gonna say it now just so it doesn't look like a knee * if/when it does happen but some of his displays can range from Dembele like to Olly Burke like.

    It’s a little different this time for him, with the price tag and the impact he made last year. Big step for him this season and hopefully he can prove himself.

    No worries about Idah here. He is a monster when he gets going and terrorizes defenses. The best I have seen at doing that since John Hartson.

    He will tear them a new one next week.

    His performance today just sums up why he should have been brought in a lot sooner. Thats not his fault to be fair.

    Should have been in at least a month ago and away on pre season with the team. Our * around lost us that plus we got shafted with the fee as Norwich knew we were desperate.

    He’ll be fine.

    Should’ve had a proper pre season with us.

    Aye like most have said he will be fine, he just needs that run of games but I have no worries over the big fella.
