Celtic need to sign a striker or two this summer following the departures of Oh Hyeon-gyu and Rocco Vata. Kyogo Furuhashi has been absolutely brilliant in pre-season and looks like a player reborn after a difficult debut campaign under the management of Brendan Rodgers. But he is the only recognised centre forward that the Hoops have right now. Any injury to the Japanese international would leave them in a world of trouble and he does have a history of fitness issues.

In the eyes of many, Adam Idah would be the perfect signing for Celtic this summer. It is funny how quickly perceptions can change in football.

When Idah was signed on loan from Norwich City in the winter, most people had written him off before he even arrived. His goalscoring record with the Canaries did not fill the fans with confidence. But the Irish striker proved the critics wrong and was a vital part of Celtic's double, even scoring the Scottish Cup final-winning goal against the Rangers.

The only mistake Celtic made was not managing to include a buyout clause in the loan deal. That means that Idah is now back at Norwich City, with the English club having all the leverage.

Adam Idah's Instagram comment increases Celtic return rumours

There have been rumours that Idah would love to return to Celtic. In fact, his Instagram profile picture still has him in a green-and-white jersey.

Recently, Idah left a comment on Celtic's post on Instagram after winning 4-1 against Chelsea in preseason. It was an emoji with heart eyes.

It would be safe to say that that comment has further added to the speculation surrounding a potential return to Celtic. It has garnered more than 2000 likes so far and has almost 200 replies as well. We don't need to tell you what most of those people wanted.
