'Obviously, we know...': Celtic skipper hails Hampden display and delivers verdict on viral Adam Idah footage

The 24-year-old striker put a difficult week behind him by helping Celtic demolish their Perthshire opponents at the national stadium, playing his part in McGregor’s opening goal. Daizen Maeda then made it two just minutes later, before Idah grabbed a much-needed goal of his own just before half-time. A second from Maeda saw the Hoops storm into a four goal lead before the break, and substitute Jota added a fifth in the second-half.

In the build up to the game, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers Rodgers revealed that the Republic of Ireland international had called him when the footage had emerged online to share his own version events, with the head coach then opting to start him in Sunday’s game against St Johnstone, and McGregor admits that Idah’s success will be down to his displays on the pitch, not social media noise off it.

“Obviously he's been fine, he's been OK,” said McGregor. “Everybody knows what's happened. Listen, young boys will be young boys and that's fine. No problem with that. He was off the next day, then boys are happy and free to do whatever they want and that's fine.

“As long as he's producing in training and games, then it's not really an issue for anyone, to be honest. So I'm really happy for him. He gets his goal, he contributes to the team and obviously that will help him as well. Obviously, we know what it's like. We live a life in the public eye and everybody's desperate to get something off you. And that's just the way of the world these days.

“So we have to try and be smart about it. But the thing that we'll judge him is based on performances in training and games. And he's done that and it's nice just to put a lid on it. That's it, done now. Everybody just move on and life moves on as normal.”
