Kelechi Iheanacho expressed his delight after once again coming off the bench to secure a vital victory for Celtic. The forward, who has made a habit of decisive interventions, scored the winner in a 2-1 triumph over Hibernian at Easter Road.
The 29-year-old Nigerian has now repeated this feat for the third consecutive week, proving to be a super-sub for manager Martin O’Neill. His latest strike followed a similar impact against Dundee at Dens Park last month, where he also netted the deciding goal after entering the fray.
Iheanacho’s recent heroics extend beyond league action; he previously scored twice in extra time to propel Celtic past St Mirren in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park. Reflecting on his contributions, the former Manchester City star emphasized his commitment to the team cause.
Speaking to Celtic TV, he said: ‘I always feel great to come in and help the team get the win, so I’m happy today. The whole team is happy, and especially the fans.’ His consistent ability to influence games from the bench has made him an invaluable asset in Celtic’s pursuit of silverware.
