Adam Idah’s Rocky Start After a Stunning Debut Season

When Adam Idah first arrived at Celtic on loan, he grabbed the spotlight right away. Nine goals in 19 games and a legendary 90th-minute winner against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final—fans instantly saw him as a difference-maker. Celtic secured a historic double that season, and the talk of the summer was how to keep Idah in green and white permanently.

But the move from Norwich City to Celtic didn’t exactly go to plan. The transfer dragged out for weeks, with both clubs locked in tough negotiations. By the time Celtic finally landed their man for just over £3 million, pre-season was in full swing. That late arrival meant Idah missed vital training sessions with his new teammates, lost valuable time working under the coach, and found himself playing catch-up as Celtic kicked off their new campaign.

Talent Shows Up—But So Do the Bumps

Despite the rocky start, Idah hasn’t disappeared. He’s managed to deliver when the spotlight’s brightest—those assists against Young Boys in Europe, and a memorable brace against Aston Villa in the Champions League. The problem is, in domestic matches, inconsistency has replaced the spark he showed last season. For every moment of magic, there’s been a forgettable outing where he drifts out of the game.

The stats reflect it. He’s still found the net 14 times this season across all competitions. But there’s a catch—he isn’t contributing much else. Assists are rare, and the influential presence he once had seems-hit-and-miss. Fans are asking: Is this a crisis of confidence, or does Idah just need more time in the starting lineup to settle in?

  • Last season, Idah’s goals per minute ratio rivaled the best in the Scottish Premiership.
  • This year, his impact wavers from match to match, especially when coming off the bench.
  • Supporters see his size and pace as crucial weapons if he plays regularly up front.

A former Celtic star has even stepped in, publicly urging the manager to trust Idah with a proper run in the starting eleven. The suggestion isn’t just about goals; it’s about rhythm, confidence, and building partnerships with the wingers and midfielders around him. Strikers often thrive on momentum, and Idah’s stop-start season hasn’t done him any favors.

You don’t have to be a football expert to see the dilemma. Celtic badly need someone with Idah’s eye for big-game moments, especially as domestic rivals step up their game and European fixtures pile up. The club’s investment signals belief, but whether Idah can shake off his slow start and return to his Cup Final heroics hinges on one thing: playing time. If given the chance, he’s got the history, the physical tools, and the knack for the dramatic winner Celtic so often needs.
