A video has surfaced on Twitter that appears to show Adam Idah training at Lennoxtown.
It could be someone else entirely or be an elaborate fake but it certainly seems convincing.
Since news of the transfer emerged on Tuesday night there has been little sign of enthusiasm for a striker with 16 career goals at the age of 22 and edged down the pecking order at Norwich by the expected arrival of Sydney van Hooijdonk.
Around lunchtime today the normally well informed Anthony Joseph of Sky Sports reported that a deal had been agreed with a medical in London to rubber stamp the move. According to the video below that tweet seems half right.

It doesn’t take a genius to detect the mood of Celtic fans on social media.
While Brendan Rodgers’ wish list of four quality additions was never realistic the addition of a seventh winger and back up striker from Norwich isn’t going down well.
Idah is possibly more than a project, turning 23 on February 11 but there is nothing on is CV to suggest that he can improve the current options open to Brendan Rodgers. His arrival is unlikely to do much to convince Rocco Vata to sign another contract.
Celtic have been very sparing in their use of Social Media over the last 24 hours, wishing Japan good luck in their Asian Cup tie against Taiwan is about the extent of their activity.
An exciting new O** F*** deal with Kellogs wasn’t even worthy of a tweet.
At some stage the signing of Idah will be announced, whether it contains any comment from Brendan Rodgers will be of critical importance.
In the meantime if social media is any barometer the levels of hostility are similar to the winter 2020/21 season as Peter Lawwell dragged his feet on a Managerial Review.
Every tweet they post, every happy birthday they send, this picture should be under it. https://t.co/M3KBX3D3KC pic.twitter.com/Q8bbMwbYoA

Who’s that Celtic have signed?
I haven’t Adamn Idea.
The ex Man City tea boy and his shifty daddy have surpassed themselves this time
To be fair, at least they appear to have signed a striker, albeit one with not much of a scoring record.
I was thinking Our Glorious Leaders were more likely to sign a scrum-half, a leg spinner and a quarter-back…… although there is still a couple of days left!
How shouldn’t have Brendan’s wish of four quality additions never have been realistic ?
As far as I was aware Celtic had £72 million in the bank at 00.00 hrs on 1st January 2024…
Ah but then I thought of this word PREVIOUS and then another couple of words TRANSFER WINDOWS and then another couple of surnames LAWWELL n’ LAWWELL –
And then reality kicked in…
But, But, But – Hey, they still have time to prove me wrong and leave me with egg all over ma chin…
C’mon ma ‘custodians’ – Go n’ do it !
Editor: Unrealistic because of the Chairman and Head of Recruitment, never a chance with those two choking everything.
