Celtic’s Adam Idah celebrates scoring their side's second goal of the game during the cinch Premiership match at Celtic Park, Glasgow.

CELTIC'S Adam Idah and Liverpool's Caoimhin Kelleher both more than played their part in their respective sides wins in Scotland and England on Wednesday night.

Idah scored the second goal for Celtic in their 7-1 victory over Dundee, while Kelleher made three great first half saves to keep a shaky young Liverpool side in their FA Cup tie against Southampton.

Idah has now scored five goals for the Hoops and is starting to show all the qualities that we know he has.  

Playing regularly with a manager Brendan Rodgers, who has great faith in him, Idah is looking very sharp in front of goal and is helping keep Celtic on the tails of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premier League.

Like Idah, Kelleher is getting better and better with every game he plays.  He is looking a world class keeper and with Alison out for another few weeks, Kelleher is now a vital part of Klopp's squad that are chasing four trophies.

He will be in goal again on Saturday when Liverpool travel to take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Liverpool will now face arch rivals Man United in the FA Cup quarter final over St Patrick's weekend at Old Trafford.

The draw for the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals:

Wolves v Coventry; Manchester United v Liverpool; Chelsea v Leicester; Manchester City v Newcastle.
