Celtic receive positive Adam Idah scan update, 'hopefully' ready for semi-final

Celtic forward Adam Idah received positive news following a scan on his ankle, with Brendan Rodgers saying he hopes the forward will be fit for selection against Aberdeen this weekend.

The Scottish champions face Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden this Saturday, with Rangers and Motherwell set to play each other on Sunday.

Last weekend, Idah found himself on the receiving end of a reckless challenge when Liam Gordon fouled the forward in the middle of the pitch in the closing stages of the visitors' 3-0 win at Fir Park.

Speaking ahead of Celtic's league encounter with Dundee tonight (Wednesday), Rodgers said: "Adam Idah, Nicolas Kuhn and Callum McGregor will all be fine for the weekend.

"Callum could've been involved tonight but there was no need to risk it. Kuhn had a bit of an issue with his hip after the weekend, again no need to risk it.

"Good news on Adam with the scan, he got away with it after the challenge and hopefully he'll be ready for Saturday."
