It is surely no coincidence that Norwich City accepted Celtic’s offer for Adam Idah, reportedly £8.5m up front with another £1m dependent on results and a 15% sell-on fee, within hours of the club being sold to an American investment group.
On accepting the deal for Idah, City added £8.5m to their balance sheet – approximately 12% of the club’s net book value. It was a deal outgoing major shareholder Delia Smith was clearly motivated to accept before City’s new investors arrived.
That deal is still significant. It will inevitably reach £9.5m, which, in time, will make Adam our most expensive signing ever. It is also less than the asking price Celtic were faced with until this week; the sell-on percentage is also less than it was.
Adam reminds me of Mark Viduka. Strong and skilful on the ball, he can control a long ball and bring others into play. Without Adam coming in on loan in January, I don’t think we would have got over the line in so many crucial games in the run-in. The league would have gone elsewhere, and who can forget his contribution in the Cup Final?
There is still a medical to complete before the deal gets over the line. Lots happened elsewhere yesterday. We’ll touch on Bosun Lawal, Bojan Miovski and others later in the week.

Pains me to say it but Jefte’s second yellow card was really, really soft.
Still these things even themselves over the season as we all know.

A boo from the remaining Rangers fans in Hampden follows the full-time whistle.
Reckon some of them are for the referee.
DK were absolutely crap, Sevco would probably have won it it hadnt been for the second yellow.
Ya beauty. I think that result means a few extra million for Celtic as we are the only representatives now.
If Carlsburg did tuesday nights.
Bus loyal head for exits early doors…
Does that mean more money for Celtic? I know in previous years there was a pool of money that got split between participating teams from the same country.
Don’t have the actual stats but Clement’s record, apart from League Cup, must be crap – Le Guenesque!
Oh my days 😂😂😂
Shortie going mental 😂😂
Pundits calling for ref to be banned from the Champions league amd for the rules to be changed
Everything being blamed on the second yellow card [to be fair it was a really poor decision :-) ]
Noone seems to have noticed they couldn’t score in the first 60 odd minutes “at home”
Huns playing catch up on Sundays now … enjoying the BBC coverage
Huns will be queueing up outside Russian army recruitment office in the morning…
Oh no…the Hun commentators are revolting 😂 So that’s £5M that they’ve already spent not coming in…such a shame lol

—————
I’m devastated.
They’re already talking about the consequences of a long campaign in the europa – hahahahaha
Beautiful. Just perfect.
Sending off and another injury to Yilmaz.
No £5m and no home gate from play off.
No CL. More CL share for us.
I’ve Sky + and you can freeze the frame on the contact. The huns elbow is against the lower jaw and the neck. Yellow all day long…….
A decent team would have beaten DK home and away. they look spent.
Pathetic crowd tonight too
Pub team puts them out.
I really hope we draw Kyiv.
BBC showing the first goal again.
PMSL as Tom Lawrence jumps out the way of the shot.

It looked really soft to me but I only saw it from one angle. Happy to take your advice.
I know one thing – no Scottish referee would have given it.

Well, that is a pleasant end to the evening. Didn’t even know that they would have earned 5 million if they won tonight. Still penniless now?
Pleasant dreams everyone.
We shall not be moved.
