For the second successive away match Adam Idah dug out a double to keep Celtic alive in the race for the SPFL Premiership title.
Earlier this month he scored penalties in the fifth and 89th minutes to secure full points away to Hibs, today he showed his prowess from open play after coming on as a half time substitute with Motherwell leading 1-0 at the break.
Five minutes into the second half a brilliantly delivered cross from Greg Taylor was headed beyond Liam Kelly to put Celtic back on level terms but it looked like the hoops wouldn’t be able to build on that breakthrough.

Daizen Maeda missed two decent chances, failing to find the target with either but into stoppage time the on loan Norwich man came to the rescue.
Yang Hyun-jun and Alistair Johnston created an opening on the right, Idah anticipated the delivery and fired a low shot from 15 yards into the net to spark wild scenes of celebrations among the away support.
There was time for one more, and a VAR check but Luis Palma had timed his run perfectly with Celtic able to celebrate a 3-1 victory that had looked unlikely when the clock struck 90 minutes.
Idah is doing the damage just now and that will do for me.
Thank Fcuk he was there today and eventually on the field of play there today !
