Charlie Mulgrew has praised on loan Celtic striker Adam Idah, stating the Ireland international has been able to thrive under the pressure.

The Norwich City forward has scored five goals for the Scottish champions since arriving on deadline day until the end of the season.

And Mulgrew feels the 23-year-old has been a real asset for Brendan Rodgers' men.

Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland, he said: "Two penalties, three from open play. So, brilliant so far.

"You can’t ask much more from him. He showed a great attitude after being dropped at the weekend, not playing and then coming on as a sub and really making an impact.

"So he deserves his start today and repays the manager with a great header.

“He wasn’t the glamour signing when he signed but he has really stepped up. Sometimes you find that at a club like Celtic.

“People just can’t handle the pressure and really thrive and playing at a club like this and so he’s shown that he can be a real asset.”

Meanwhile, Birmingham City manager Tony Mowbray is "getting stronger " after an operation.

This is according to his assistant Mark Venus who says the 60-year-old situation is improving.

Former Celtic player and boss Mowbray, who was appointed by the English Championship side last month, was announced as taking a break due to ill health 10 days ago.

And Venus has given an encouraging update on the ex-defender's condition.

He said: "I have had a chat with him every day to be honest. A little update: he's had his surgery and everything's fine.

"He's getting stronger, so he is on the way back hopefully. I'm not saying immediately, but it's been nice hearing him and chatting to him.

"It's given us a bit of confidence. I gave the lads a little update from him this morning (Thursday).

"They all asked, they kept asking. We are keeping everyone up to date with it. He's getting stronger."
