Brendan Rodgers opens up on Adam Idah's transfer as he brands striker 'the catalyst'

Brendan Rodgers considers the chances of Celtic holding on to Scottish Cup Final difference maker Adam Idah as 'very realistic'.

The Norwich striker joined on loan in January with little fanfare but has been an important member of the squad, scoring some big goals.

And none have been bigger than his last-minute strike today, converting after Jack Butland spilled Paulo Bernardo's shot.

Rodgers was asked if the Ireland internationalist would be a realistic signing for the club to make in the summer.

He replied: "Hopefully very realistic. For me, he was the catalyst for our season because we needed a different dimension up front and the big guy comes in and he's got so much potential.



" What I love about Adam is he's a big game player, he loves the big games and the big occasions so hopefully we can do something.

"He's still got a long term deal at Norwich but he's definitely someone I'd love to bring back here.

"At 23, with the potential he has and the qualities he has, I think he can really push on in his career."
