Adam Idah was unable to get on the scoresheet this afternoon against Kilmarnock, however, that did not dampen the Irish striker’s spirits.
Idah made sure to highlight the importance of the victory over Kilmarnock in a game which was as competitive as it could have been without the Irish striker scoring.
Celtic’s supporters were incredible this afternoon in creating an unbelievable atmosphere in the away end.

With people like Derek McInnes criticising Hoops supporters for not wanting to celebrate Remembrance Day this afternoon, it highlighted a lack of understanding from the Kilmarnock manager behind Celtic supporters’ unwillingness to observe the day.
Celtic fans traditionally refrain from wearing poppies or observing Remembrance Day due to the club’s connection with its Irish heritage and the legacy of British involvement in the conflict in Ireland.
For many Celtic supporters, the poppy is seen as a symbol of British nationalism, and they prefer to honour the Irish victims of war and conflict, as well as the legacy of those who fought for Irish independence.
Idah’s post shows that those in the away end were able to help Celtic players get through a tough game, which at times had the Bhoys on the back foot.
That is what is so wonderful about the Hoops supporters, they are the 12th man and, are able to help see the players through games, highlighting just how vital that support was on a vital day in the title race.
Remembrance Day has its celebrations on that day which people can attend or they can decide not to take part as they so wish. Nobody, nor any authority, has the right to insist on this. It is NOT COMPULSORY.
People should never be forced to take part in anything that they are not comfortable with. It has no place at a public event where people have no choice in the matter. Celebrating wars which kill people is an inhuman process. Man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.
