Notably, his goal in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers clinched a league and cup double for Celtic.

The deal marks a record-breaking transfer for Celtic, amounting to up to £9.5 million, and sees Idah committing to a five-year contract with the club. This acquisition will significantly boost Celtic’s forward line. He could be set to make the squad for the cup tie against Hibs this weekend.

Idah expressed his excitement about permanently joining Celtic to the club’s official media, a sentiment he felt early during his loan. “I think everyone knew where I wanted to be. It’s amazing for me and I’m delighted to be back.

“Within the first couple of days of being here when I came on loan first time, I wanted to play for Celtic.

“It was amazing to get all of those goals and to be in with the boys and to see these amazing fans week in, week out was unbelievable.

“I’ve never experienced anything like it and I’m just so happy to be back.

“I always wanted to play for Celtic and obviously last season was amazing. To come here now and be fully a part of the team and a part of this club is amazing to me.

“Everyone back home, all my family and friends, they all wanted me to come back to Celtic, myself included, so it’s massive and I’m just so happy to be here.”

The difference in reaction to his signing between January and now shows just how big a player he was for Celtic last season. Fans met the announcement with negativity back at the start of the year, and now, after a great six months, fans are celebrating his permanent stay.
