IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Adam Idah was on target in the Scottish Premiership today, as Celtic beat Motherwell 3-1.
Celtic never looked back after Idah netted from close range in the 29th minute, having ending a 14-game goal drought with a midweek double against Aston Villa. Caretaker manager Stephen Frail was tasked with trying to get the “connectivity” back. But there was another blow 49 seconds into the game. However, Celtic were back ahead six minutes later. Luke McCowan’s first-time pass got Maeda in behind Kaleta and Idah knocked home the Japan winger’s low cross. Kaleta would soon go off with an injury.
But the Portuguese winger got his moment four minutes into stoppage time and delivered a trademark raised-fist celebration in front of the visiting fans. Two strikes from midfielder Hagi — not in the European squad — and a poacher’s goal from centre-back John Souttar before the interval had the points safe early.
Nsiala’s raking pass from the back found Vaclav Cerny wide on the right and he turned inside onto his left foot and fired in a drive from the edge of the box which was spilt by keeper Jordan Amissah right to Hagi, who neatly tucked the ball away.
