ADAM IDAH has already proven his worth to Celtic.
That has its own value in terms of Brendan Rodgers and the squad. It's why this deal needs to be sealed.
Idah came up trumps for Celtic last season at the time when he was really needed.
Credit to Rodgers. I wasn't sure the striker would be able to deliver in the manner that he did, but he proved himself adept and the manager was correct. It wasn't just the goals Idah scored, it was the importance of them.
Big strikes at key times. The last-minute penalty at Hibs and goal at Motherwell were pivotal in the title race and kept Celtic going forward.
The opener at Kilmarnock on title-clinching night then to top it all off, the winner in the last minute of a Scottish Cup final against Rangers.
Now I'm not saying Celtic should just bow to Norwich's every whim here. Negotiations are always delicate and there is give and take in any deal.
Norwich have to be realistic. Idah had lost his way there. He even said he didn't feel wanted, so who's to say that, despite getting the confidence boost from his efforts in Glasgow, he wouldn't return to being a bitpart player in the Championship.
Celtic also have to be realistic and know that here is a guy who has proven himself. It's not always easy for players to settle into the club with the demands and expectations.
Better players than Idah have gone into that environment and not been able to deliver for whatever reason.
