Adam Idah was surprisingly left on the bench as an unused substitute during the Republic of Ireland’s 2-0 defeat to Greece. The Celtic striker has been in fine form since his high-profile move to Glasgow, scoring four goals in 10 appearances, making his omission from the match even more puzzling.

One of Adam Idah’s four goals came in the Champions League, where he came off the bench to score in Celtic’s 5-1 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava. However, despite his strong start, the 23-year-old has primarily been limited to substitute appearances so far this season.

Despite Adam Idah’s strong form earning him a national squad call-up under manager Heimir Hallgrímsson for their Nations League clashes against Finland and Greece, his involvement was limited. The towering Irish striker made an appearance off the bench in the 2-1 win over Finland in Helsinki, but the following fixture against Greece told a different story, as Idah was left on the sidelines in the 2-0 defeat.

Adam Idah was left out of the action during Ireland’s 2-0 defeat to Greece. With Ireland trailing 1-0 after a goal from Panathinaikos striker Anastasios Bakasetas, manager Heimir Hallgrímsson decided to substitute Brighton’s Evan Ferguson. However, in a puzzling move, Hallgrímsson brought on defensive midfielder Jack Taylor instead of making a like-for-like swap with Idah, leaving both Celtic and Ireland fans questioning the decision. As Ireland continued to chase an equalizer, Greece delivered the final blow with a second goal, sealing Ireland’s defeat.

Adam Idah, who has netted 13 goals in 28 appearances for Celtic under Brendan Rodgers, was left on the bench as Ireland suffered a 2-0 defeat to Greece. Fans were left baffled, especially with a goal to chase, as Idah wasn’t brought on. With 4 goals from 29 caps for his country, the striker hoped to make an impact, but his international career has been hampered by stop-start spells, including his time at Norwich City before his £9.5 million move to Parkhead.
