Celtic legend John Hartson questioned whether Adam Idah was worth the €11m that the Bhoys coughed up to Norwich City.
It hasn’t taken long for the doubters to come crawling out of the woodwork. 421 minutes to be precise.
The man who is currently denying Idah more time in the Celtic 11, Kyogo Furuhashi, is one of them. With eight of his 11 appearances so far coming as a starter, he has scored five times in his 674 minutes on the pitch.Yet when former Celtic striker John Hartson claimed ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League game in Atalanta that Idah hadn’t “hit the ground running” on his return to Scotland, this time as a permanent signing, he cited the Japan striker’s form and status as a primary factor.
Idah delivered on both counts during an energetic 68-minute display. His relentless tracking back put Atalanta under the kind of pressure that was non-existent in Dortmund. He did his bit in the opposition half too.
