Adam Idah Looks Forward To Next Old Firm Game After Scoring At Ibrox

Adam Idah, the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland striker, made a memorable scoring debut at Ibrox during the thrilling 3-3 draw between Celtic and Rangers. The match, which took place on Sunday, saw Idah stepping in for Kyogo Furuhashi in the 69th minute when Celtic was leading 2-1. This game marked one of the season's classic encounters, setting the stage for an eagerly anticipated final Old Firm league game at Parkhead.

The match's early moments were dominated by Celtic, with Daizen Maeda scoring within the first 21 seconds, followed by a penalty from Matt O'Riley. However, Rangers' captain James Tavernier narrowed the gap with a penalty in the 55th minute. The game's intensity peaked towards the end when Abdallah Sima's deflected strike equalized for Rangers, only for Idah to drive a low shot past Ibrox keeper Jack Butland, momentarily putting Celtic ahead. The drama didn't end there as Rabbi Matondo of Rangers scored the final equalizer, maintaining the narrow point gap behind leaders Celtic.

Despite not securing a win, Idah expressed satisfaction with the team's performance and optimism about the upcoming home game against Rangers. "I was disappointed to not get the winner but look, we got a point at the end of the day and we're happy with that," Idah shared with CelticTV. He praised his team's effort from start to finish and highlighted the importance of focusing on each game as it comes.

Celtic is set to face St Mirren next Saturday before their crucial match against Rangers. With a game in hand against Dundee on Wednesday night, Philippe Clement's side is gearing up for what promises to be an intense conclusion to their league campaign. The final Old Firm league game at Parkhead will be played with home fans only, adding an extra layer of anticipation to this storied rivalry.

Idah's performance and goal at Ibrox have certainly made an impact, and his forward-looking attitude reflects the team's focus on their remaining fixtures. As Celtic prepares for their next challenges, fans and players alike are bracing for what promises to be an exciting end to the season.
