Idah pounced on a fumble by Gers keeper Jack Butland in the last minute of normal time to fire in the winner.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers saluted “big-game player” Adam Idah after his dramatic late winner against Rangers in the 150th anniversary Scottish Gas Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park.
It was Idah’s ninth goal since arriving in Glasgow and it secured a league and cup double for the Hoops, and the Parkhead boss waxed lyrical about his overall contribution to Celtic’s cause – although was more coy about discussing a possible longer-term deal.“He has all the attributes. He’s fast, dynamic, strong and I felt with better positioning he’d get goals.“He has great movement in the box and he deals with pressure moments.
“The Premier League is the most competitive league in world football and you need a certain level of physicality and he showed that as a really young player.
