Persistent pressing & Edouard-esque finishing: Idah is ready to be Celtic's main man Celtic turned on the style at home on Saturday, as they eased to a 5-0 win over Ross County in 45 devastating first-half minutes.

Though the game was over when he scored, Idah showed his class from outside the box - his first goal for Celtic from this distance.

Not just that, he led his team in both pressures and counterpressures - a great shift.

The Irishman scored the fifth goal in Celtic's five-star showing vs Ross County.

With three goals in two games, is Adam Idah now ready to lead the line for Celtic at Pittodrie?
