With Celtic’s transfer activity finally underway Adam Idah has posted a teasing flight image on his Instagram profile which still features an image of him playing for Celtic, not his current employers, Norwich.
Earlier this afternoon pictures emerged of Viljami Sinisalo boarding the Celtic flight for the USA but fans scanning through the images couldn’t come up with a sighting of the hero from the Scottish Cup Final.
Footballers are well aware of the detective work that fans put in to piece together transfer jigsaws, images out the window of a plane are used to tease or throw fans off the scent.
Idah left Hampden Park in May with his place in Celtic folklore assured, tucking the loose ball away after Jack Butland had flapped at a shot from Paulo Bernardo.
Moves to bring back the Portuguese midfielder seem to be at an advanced stage while talks between Celtic and Norwich over a permanent move for Idah appear to have stalled.
Celtic are in action in the early hours of Sunday with Kyogo Furuhashi the only striker in the squad following the transfer of Oh Hyeon-gyu to Genk.

Are things really starting to happen? It sure looks that way and not before time.
I, like many if not most Tims, actually dread this ‘silly season’ of rumour, speculation, conjecture and bullshit. Ange Postecoglou came in and things happened quickly. Good things happened quickly. Surely TF the board has seen this success story and MUST give Brendan the backing he needs. Lawwell’s decades of parsimony have cost us plenty, as he has, and driven us to near despair with his interference and that is the correct word for an amatuer with hugely limited skills yet a huge ego. We won the title last year in spite of him and his son’s meddling and failure and no-one should forget that.
LAWWELL OUT! Should be foremost in our thinking and also to ensure his ilk never disgraces Celtic as he has done for far, far too long.
