Celtic’s capture of Adam Idah ends a summer of intense speculation on whether or not the Irishman was ever going to make a Celtic Park return.
The 23-year-old was a hugely popular figure amongst the Celtic fans last season after his goals helped seal a league and Scottish Cup double.
With Celtic agreeing to a £9.5m deal this week, Idah is now a permanent Celtic player and the news produced a response not only from the Parkhead support but also the Norwich City fans.
Celtic fans welcome their new hero
Now that Adam Idah has been officially announced, the excitement and relief from the Celtic fans was clear after the club made the announcement on social media channel X.
Another Celtic supporter was over the moon and can’t wait to see how Idah improves the team, “Big man is back, time for the fans to get behind him and the team and kick on.”
One Celtic fan has urged the club to continue their spending:
And another Celtic fan couldn’t care less about the fee, “Don’t care about the cost, we can afford it – the big man proved he can cut it – welcome back Adam 👍🏻🇮🇪”
And this Celtic supporter knows ‘exactly’ how he feels:
So it is clear that many Celtic fans are delighted to have Idah back at the club and will be hoping to see him in the green and white Hoops on Sunday against Hibs.
Norwich City fans’ classy responses to new Celtic signing
As we discussed earlier this week, the Norwich fans were stunned at the fee Celtic have agreed to pay but now that the deal is confirmed, some sent their former striker some classy messages.
One fan said, “Never quite worked out for him with us, but he’s already proven how valuable he can be to you, and I wish him every success and I hope he scores you loads of goals.”, whilst another simply said, “Thanks Adam. All the best. Great move for a great lad.”
On Instagram, the tributes continued for Idah as he said goodbye to he Norwich fans:
One Norwich fan was delighted for his fellow Irishman, “As an Irish canary, it’s really sad to see you go, but also happy that you get to kick on at Celtic. Best of luck 🇮🇪 🐤.”
Another wants Idah to be a success at Celtic:
It’s great to see a number of Norwich fans wish Idah all the best at Celtic and that his discipline issue over the summer hasn’t affected his relationship with them.
Now for Idah, it’s on to Sunday and the League Cup fixture against Hibs where the Irishman will be hoping to progress and win the only trophy that eluded Brendan Rodgers last season.
