Celtic have cruised to their 54th Scottish Premiership title thanks to a 5-0 hammering of Kilmarnock on Wednesday night.

The Hoops, buoyed from their recent Glasgow derby win, made the trip to 𓆉Rug🧸by Park knowing that victory would give them their third title in a row.

Celtic didn’t need very long to effectively end the game as a contest, and with ܫit the title race.

Brendan Rodgers’ charges opened the scoring in the fifth minute through Adam I🍬dah before🌼 Daizen Maeda doubled their lead on 12 minutes.

James Forrest then put Celtic out of reach in the 35th minute, and Matt O’Riley weighed in with a second-h🔴alf brace to really make it a party atmosphere for the travelling fans.

Although O’Riley stood out with a🌱 particularly impressive display, Chris Sutton was eager to praise Idah♋ for his efforts on the night.

“Idah has been outstanding for Celtic tonight,” the forme♚r Bho𒀰ys ace said on just after the hour. “A different type of striker.”

Adam Idah a major success for Celtic

Ida♔h’s season began at anot🐬her club that plays in green, namely Norwich City of the English Championship.

The 23-year💧-old made the move to Celtic at the end of the transfer window due to a lack of game time at Carrow Road.

It proved an inspired move for player and club, as Idah weighed in withꦅ eight goals and two assists from just 17 outings in green and white.

According to , Celtic could yet decide to make the switch permanent if they meet Norwich’s valuation of just over €5milඣlion (around £4.3million) for Idah.

Based on how well he has done💎 at Parkhead, it would be surprising not to see the Hoopꦍs make their move for the Republic of Ireland international.
