Jeffrey Schlupp responds to two-word Adam Idah message as Mikey Moore heads to Rangers
Adam Idah has issued an inspired message as Celtic look to defend their Scottish league title in a bid to extend their league dominance.
The Hoops wiped the competition away last season as they cruised to a 55th league title, winning with a 15-point margin over rivals Rangers.
Brendan Rodgers’ side lost just four of their 33 matches on the way to being crowned champions, winning on 26 occasions.
Their league victory sees them go level with their Glasgow neighbours for most titles won, providing even greater motivation for bragging rights for the victor next campaign.
Idah was instrumental in the club’s dominance, picking up 13 goals across the season in the Scottish top-division.
Adam Idah raring to go at Celtic ahead of new season
In a post on Instagram (31 July), the Irishman shared photos that captured his pre-season preparation both in training and on the pitch.
Captioned: “It’s time”, the 24-year-old encapsulated determination and drive as he looks to win more trophies in the new season.
Former teammate Jeffrey Schlupp commented: “Let’s go” as the Ghanian has now joined Idah’s old employer Norwich City.

Football Insider verdict
One thing is certain, Celtic will face a Rangers side with a new look and renewed hope under Russell Martin.
The former Southampton boss has taken over from Barry Ferguson and will want to dominate possession in the Scottish league.
A two-legged Champions League qualification victory over Greek side Panathanikos demonstrated the early work of the ex-Saints manager, as he looks to instil his free-flowing passing football.

Additionally, the Gers have been active in the transfer market, most recently close to finalising a deal for Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore on a season-long loan.
The revival of Rangers means both Glaswegian sides are set to go toe-to-toe, hopefully leading to a more enthralling title race than last season.
Notably, the first Old Firm derby will be played as early as match day four on the Scottish Premier League calendar, a tasty fixture for all Scottish fans.
