MORE THAN A SUPER SUB

Idah says he'd hit 30-goal tally for Hoops with regular starts

- 

ADAM IDAH has promised Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers a 30-goal return if he trusts him as his first-choice centre-forward.

The Ireland international netted 20 times last season as the Hoops - who were last night closing in on Portuguese left-back Flavio Nazinho - clinched a league and cup double.

However, 29 of Idah's 54 appearances came off the bench, with Kyogo Furuhashi and then Daizen Maeda getting the nod to start ahead of him for much of the campaign.

With the big kickoff looming on August 3, Idah insists 30 goals is within reach if he leads the line.

"Yeah, 100%," he said. "The more minutes I play, the more goals I'm going to score, and it's a fact. I scored 20 goals with the minutes I played, which is really good.
