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.

And here comes Phileeep
Butland saying his goodbyes in the Dressing Room
m8 loyal got away early and will be home now.
Sunday games and half 5 on Thursdays at Hampden 😀
I’m loving their pain, it’s written all over the face of Mutton Thomson and the ex goalie, Butland will be transfered now and for nothing like they think they will get.
The TV pool would have been split think it was 55% to 45%, so the 45% is all ours, handy if we want to use it.
Post match analysis –
Steven Thompson – “Do Rangers need goals from other areas of the park ?”
Big Greegs – “Well that’s the hing” .
delusional phil on ahagain, anyone know what beale is doing these days
They want away goals to count as double again
Dohhhh 🫢

Not to mention the 000’s Butland’s value has dropped with another dodgy performance.
Didn’t watch the match but did enjoy the post mortem… 3 competitive matches into a long season and they are now talking about having to have players playing out of position to get a team out…
Ekbhoy
Fill your boots

It’s going to be difficult for Sky to play our games after the huns on a Sunday now but not impossible 🤔🙄

Huns will be queueing up outside Russian army recruitment office in the morning…

Quality! 👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clement on the deludemol 😂
They’ve dropped down to the Europa but they still have qualifiers…is that correct?
Butland’s value has dropped with another dodgy performance.
bottom left. he barely gets them.
Sorry 2 wins out of last 8 competitive games.
1 win in last 6 competitive games.
Or 1 in 10 games this season inc pre season
The two goals scored outnumbers the brain cells of the 3 Shortie morons on the panel.Delicious tears.
” The Ref should not be allowed to Ref another CL game”.Not the 3 stooges,the commentary team.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They don’t have a qualifier for euros.
Automatically drop to that
Night all.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.
£1brox delenda est
Vae victis.
Only switched on BBC late because I didn;t think they did CL qualifiers – picked a good one ! The post match with McGregor’s greeting face was brilliant !
BJB – 39,000
they had a chance to make hampden almost completely theirs – wrap round fans, amazing noise and atmosphere but no, that’s not what they’re about.
There’s something up or it’s the slow crawl to mediocrity paul67 said would happen
” Lawrence done well to stay fit during the pre- season”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What odds are the bookies offering on R2ngers winning the Europa league?
Worth a punt surely?
The only thing they won was their apparent boycott of the Celtic end.
B78, thanks 👍

Danilo who was a sub tonight
Shame they get guaranteed Europa, would have been nice to see them put out by some. Cypriot mob.
Kiev are/were not a good side.
BTB
Yes, if you are referring to the former currency of Ireland.
Otherwise, naw.:)
Still think the second yellow was soft but the first could easily have been red.
It was a deliberate stamp.
I bet Tav is disappointed…
