Celtic reclaimed the top spot in the Scottish Premiership with a victory over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, following Aberdeen’s impressive four-goal win against Dundee just a day earlier.
Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen side has been a force to reckon with this season, matching the champions step by step and proving their staying power in the race for the title.
In a strategic move by manager Brendan Rodgers, Celtic refreshed their lineup after a series of demanding matches, including a dominant performance against Aberdeen and a thrilling encounter with RB Leipzig.
Amidst growing competition within the team, young talent Adam Idah was given a chance in the starting lineup but failed to make the desired impact, drawing criticism from James McFadden for his struggles to control the ball effectively.
Despite the setback, Rodgers maintains confidence in Idah, recognizing his potential showcased in previous games, including a solid display in the Champions League clash against Atalanta.
Football pundit McFadden noted the challenge of maintaining peak performance levels at a high standard and emphasized the impact of even minor errors in a team’s rhythm and progress.
While Kyogo Furuhashi shines as Celtic’s standout performer, the team’s depth is evident with quality options on the bench, including the potential of players like Idah, whose performance against Kilmarnock was rated at 6.51 by WhoScored.
