Brendan Rodgers gave an update on Adam Idah’s condition after a tough challenge during the recent Celtic match against Motherwell. The game ended with a 3-0 victory for Celtic, pushing them to the top of the Scottish Premiership on goal difference ahead of Aberdeen.
The incident occurred in the second half of the game when Motherwell’s Liam Gordon received a red card for a reckless tackle on Idah. Rodgers mentioned that although the challenge was not great, he believed the player did not intend to harm Idah. The striker seemed to have some discomfort after the incident, especially in his ankle, and the team will have to wait and see the extent of the injury once his boot is removed.
Rodgers also highlighted the performance of Luke McCowan, who scored the opening goal on his debut for Celtic. McCowan filled in for the absent Callum McGregor and impressed Rodgers with his energy, professionalism, and goal-scoring ability. The manager praised McCowan’s attitude and noted that he deserved the opportunity to start the game.
Overall, Celtic’s victory was marred by the injury to Idah, but the team showed resilience and quality throughout the match. Rodgers expressed optimism about Idah’s recovery and commended the team’s performance, particularly highlighting McCowan’s standout display. The win was crucial for Celtic as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the league table.
