Adam Idah in Celtic battle cry as Rangers sent firm message before Parkhead rematch

Adam Idah insists Celtic will be ready to rock against Rangers when they get the Ibrox men back to Parkhead.

The Hoops hitman was minutes away from becoming a derby hero when he fired his side 3-2 up in Sunday’s Old Firm epic. Rabbi Matondo’s stoppage time stunner salvaged a point for Gers and it has set up another blockbuster across the city after the split. Idah was blown away by his first taste of the derby at Ibrox and is already counting down the days to the next instalment at Celtic Park.

The Republic of Ireland ace said: “I was disappointed to not get the winner but we got a point at the end of the day and we’re happy. It was frustrating not to get all three points but the boys dug in, performed well and we still have to play them at home.”

Idah admitted it was a crazy clash in Govan but hailed the Hoops squad for getting out with the title still in their own hands. Gers could move two points clear with a win in their game in hand at Dundee tomorrow night.

But Celtic are set to have four home games left in their remaining six fixtures, including the final derby of the league campaign. Idah has notched six goals for Celts since his loan switch from Norwich in January – with half of them coming in the final five minutes.

He said: “I’ve managed to get a couple of late goals this season for Norwich and Celtic. I always try to do my best for the team. The boys were excellent from start to finish and to get the early goal was amazing.

“It was crazy, my first time there was amazing. What the boys did without any Celtic fans was fantastic. it was a good experience and now I am looking forward to playing them at home. We have a game on Saturday (against St Mirren) and that will be a good test for us. When this next
