Rodgers’ Straight-Talking Take on Motherwell Defender’s Dangerous Tackle on Adam IdahSpeaking to Sky Sports, Rodgers didn’t hold back: “It felt a bit numb for him at first. It’s not a great challenge, but I don’t think the player tried to hurt him.“The problem is when you leave the ground—it rocked his ankle, and he struggled a bit after that. But once he got moving, it was okay. We’ll have to wait and see once he takes the boot off, but there’s likely to be some swelling.”

Despite limited minutes, Adam Idah is proving his worth at Celtic, with five goals in 12 appearances—a goal every 89 minutes on average. The Republic of Ireland striker has made an impact in key moments, scoring against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League, netting in the league win over Motherwell, and delivering a brace each against Falkirk in the League Cup and St Johnstone in a 6-0 rout.Idah’s performances suggest he’s steadily repaying his hefty transfer fee, and he looks set to play a crucial role in Celtic’s pursuit of silverware this season.
