The Irishman was a big money addition last summer but has struggled to make himself a regular starter for Brendan Rodgers.
Time is already running out for Adam Idah at Celtic, according to former Ireland ace Andy Townsend.
The big striker was a £9m addition for boss Brendan Rodgers over the summer from Norwich City,but has found the net just eight times in 29 Premiership appearances this season – starting just 15 matches.
Across all competitions the Celtic number nine has found the net just 15 times in 50 appearances, and even went on a barren run of 14 games without a goal before a Champions League brace against Aston Villa.
And Townsend believes that boss Rodgers will already be looking for an upgrade, with the Hoops’ lack of firepower laid bare in a 1-0 defeat to rock bottom St Johnstone on April 6.
He told BoyleSports, who offer the latest Champions League odds: “Celtic spent on Adam Idah last summer, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they go and buy another striker this summer and I think they will.
“Now he’s an experienced boy. He’s been around long enough and I think he’s got to hurry up and find that extra 10, 15 per cent, which is required, I think, to nail a position down somewhere consistently where he is absolutely the number one, whether it’s club or country, he’s not really been able to do that.
“If he’s not careful, someone else will come in at Celtic because Brendan Rodgers is not going to wait, Celtic never wait and they’ve lost Kyogo Furuhashi but they do have Daizen Maeda who poses more of a threat down the middle.
“Adam has got to take the opportunities that he’s being given. He came off the bench for Ireland and got himself a goal, that is good, but there’s more to come from him.”
