Adam Idah has levelled the scoring at 1-1 against Motherwell with a powerful header.
The Irishman convincingly headed the ball past Liam Kelly in the Motherwell goal from a Greg Taylor cross.
Idah replaced Kyogo Furuhashi at half-time with the Japanese striker unable to make any impact on the game.
🗣️”I can’t tell you how good this header is. The direction, the power, absolutely stunning – Celtic back in it!”

Despite questions over Idah’s deadline day loan move, he has proven himself to be more than a capable striker who can lead the line when needed.
The goal highlights yet another aspect of Idah’s game: his aerial threat, which until now supporters hadn’t seen just how effective he is in the air.
Idah has quieted any critics due to his hardworking nature and ability to step up despite Celtic playing poorly in recent weeks.
If he continues to be effective in front of goal, Celtic will likely look to make his loan move permanent in the summer.
With no option to buy, how much the Hoops would have to pay remains unclear.
Idah’s attitude undoubtedly stands out every time he plays.
His confidence in front of goal is clearly imposing to opposition defenders, with his pace and strength forming a tough combination to deal with.
