Celtic supporters need to lay off Adam Idah - the season is only two games old.
That's the feeling of former English footballer, and now pundit, Don Goodman.
The striker played a part in both of Celtic's victories over St Mirren and Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership, as Brendan Rodgers' side started the defence of their title in strong fashion.
The Republic of Ireland striker has yet to open his account for the 2025/26 campaign, although did score plenty last season, despite taking his fair share of criticism from the stands.
That appears to have continued into the start of this season, which is something Goodman feels is unfair.
"I would say it's difficult to be critical of a player after two games, which is what the Celtic fans might be basing their criticism off the back of," he told Compare.bet. "Or maybe it was last season's performances, but he scored 20 goals in 53 games.

"They've had some fantastic strikers in the past like Mark Viduka and Henrik Larsson, and while Adam Idah isn't comparable to those guys and it wouldn't be fair for Celtic fans to do so, and I don't think they are, all I know is that he's a Celtic fan.
"So, he'll be desperate to do well at Celtic Football Club. But from Brendan Rodgers' perspective, I think they look a little bit light in that area to me.
"While there is time in the transfer window and we may see another striker come in, I wouldn't write Adam Idah off just yet.
"Like I said, he scored 20 goals in 53 games last season. I don't think he's a prolific scorer in general terms, but it's hard to be critical after two games, I would say."
