Adam Idah

Celtic star Adam Idah will be available for the weekend, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed - despite the Irishman being on the receiving end of a horror challenge in Sunday's win over Motherwell.

The striker made Celtic sweat over his fitness with a scan, having been on the receiving end of Liam Gordon's late tackle at Fir Park at the weekend, which was upgraded from a yellow to red card by referee David Dickinson


Fans may have been fearing the worst when he was left out of Celtic's squad to face Dundee on Wednesday evening, especially with three huge games coming up before the international break in the form of a League Cup semi-final against high-flying Aberdeen, a continental clash against RB Leipzig and a tricky test away at Kilmarnock.

But Rodgers has alleviated any fears of a lengthy spell on the sidelines, stating that the striker will be available for the game against Jimmy Thelin's men at Hampden Park on Saturday evening as Celtic aim to make the final after last year's woes in the tournament

 

Good news.

Especially as Kyogo was holding his shoulder at FT

 

That's great news, was worried he was out for a while.

 

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Adam Idah will be available for Saturday's Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Aberdeen.


The Republic of Ireland internationalist missed the 2-0 win over Dundee in midweek because of an ankle injury.

However, he has successfully managed to overcome the knock and the Glasgow giants will have close to a full squad to choose from as they look to triumph at Hampden Park

 

I hope Idah starts on Saturday, because Kyogo is firing blanks just now, and we can't afford that
against our current main rivals Aberdeen, who are in top form at the moment. I subscribe to the view, if your main striker is off form, it's best to take him out of the firing line for a bit.

 

Great news. I was hoping obviously his injury wasn't serious but I was expecting it to be enough to keep him out for at least a few games so this really is brilliant.

 

Surprised, shocked and delighted. I was worried he’d be out a while.

 

A shoulder that was heavily targeted off of Dundee btw. I’m actually surprised that doesn’t happen to him more often.

 

My Mum when teenage me comes home on the Saturday night. ^

 

Buckled at that

 

So true mate!!!!!

 

Hope the big man starts up top today.

 

The king returns good form

 

Great news

 

That's great he's back already cos I really feared from the worst from that challenge just by the way his ankle folded, * awful it was. Glad he's made of tougher stuff than me

 

Can see him playing a big part today. I don't think their center backs do well with a big physical presence like Idah.
