Adam Idah has said that he is "excited" by the pressure of playing for Celtic, as the club look to hunt down Rangers in the title race.
Idah joined the Glasgow giants on loan from Norwich in January, and it's fair to say that his arrival didn't exactly stir excitement amongst the demanding Celtic fanbase.
Many felt that the temporary signing of the Ireland forward pointed to a lack of ambition in the transfer market but on the pitch, Idah has delivered so far, scoring two braces in his four league appearances for the club to date.
His latest double came against Motherwell on Sunday, when he came off the bench at half-time with Celtic losing 1-0, only to score a brilliant header before adding another goal in injury-time to complete the turnaround, with Luis Palma making it 3-1 before the final whistle.
It was the second time that Idah has rescued a win for Celtic in recent weeks, after his two penalties against Hibs, and he has shown that he is handling the intense pressure of playing for the club.

Adam Idah thriving on pressure
"There’s always pressure at Celtic because it's such a big club and the demands on everyone are huge," the Corkman told the media after the win at Fir Park.
"I think for us players, you do need pressure. It can be tough at times but we are all experienced enough to deal with that pressure and keep going.
"I think I thrive off pressure. That’s what excites me. For a lot of players, that’s what you play football for. That pressure gives you that bit of motivation. I know for me, that’s when I play my best."
Idah's self-confidence will be welcomed by Ireland fans, as his abilities will be key to the success of whoever comes in as manager.
As well as that, if he can help Celtic to a third successive Scottish Premiership title, the club's fans could soon be calling for him to be offered a permanent deal.
