Surely everyone can agree that this is just the start his Celtic career needed? In fact with the current sense of crisis at Celtic it's even better. There was a real risk that more and more dropped points and no goals for Idah would have him judged in the same light as Duffy. Now he's suddenly a stand-out performer contributing vital goals at vital times.
I'm trying to think how many actual winners Oh has scored. I remember a home game last season when it was 1-1 and he scored on about 81 or 82 minutes. Not sure I can think of others. Edit: 83rd minute winner against St Mirren this season, and early opener against Hibs followed by a fourth just before Christmas. Both at home. 2 late goals in an easy home win v Aberdeen.
Home game against Dundee on Wednesday with Rangers playing on Kilmarnock's plastic pitch. Another chance for Idah to make a mark.

2 penalties, in a game where, other than when he was taking the peno's, you wouldn't have known he was on the pitch.Originally Posted by tetsujin1979
Ah in fairness, it's perfectly possible to say a player can take a good penalty and also say they had little contribution to the game from play.
They do count, however, on the off chance you don't get one, it's better to have 11 players contributing, rather than 10 plus Idah.
I liked his first goal the other night ~ Good Big-Man Stuff ~ Use it Big-Man.
that's just not true. watched that game and some of his positioning and off the ball runs were very good and his work rate excellent. made a chance for himself at one stage by chasing down a defender out wide and nicking the ball off him.
Contributing by assists and winning goals in games that arent penalties ya mean?
Its really not that complicated!!!
What assists and winning goals that weren't penalties did he contribute against Hibs, the specific game that me and Tets are arguing over??
Apologies if I took your comment in one post instead of going back to other pages to read your usual drivel to get further context
Its really not that complicated!!!
only one goal out of the five, and not even the opener. Absolutely meaningless contribution again.
Might as well retire

Good ~ Big Man, goal.
it was more than that, a glancing header while facing away from goal. He has eyes in the back of his head.
Subbed off after 60 mins he was so ineffective
we all want the lad to succeed but feels like another 2 steps forward one back situation today with the pen miss and the loss.
To be fair to him, outside of the missed peno, he played OK. Looked dangerous until Celtic went down to 10 men and they were very poor. He had one sublime touch to take the ball down from a Joe Hart kick out.
Two steps forward and one step back is still a positive in fairness.
Had a goal ruled out for offside I think - though he's always been weak beating the offside trap.
Think it should be noted they were down to ten men inside 15 minutes!
