Iheanacho: Great to help Celtic win

Kelechi Iheanacho has said it was a great feeling to score the match winner at Hibernian to keep alive the Scottish Premiership title hopes of his club Celtic.

The Super Eagles striker came off the bench to make an immediate impact with a late match winner, which has lifted Celtic to joint leadership of the league with Hearts with three rounds of matches to the end of the season.

“I always feel great to come in and help the team to get the win, so I’m happy. The whole team is happy, and especially the fans,” he said after his latest heroics.

“It’s really difficult because they sit back and wait for you to come, so you need patience to move them from side to side to create spaces, and, at the end, we got our reward.

“In the box you need to be composed but it was a difficult finish, to be fair. I wanted to head it at first but I had a second touch to chest it and then the guys started rushing out and I just had to get it on target and see what happened.

“I’m happy that the fans are loving every moment of it, and I’m enjoying it.

“We just need to focus on the rest of the games and do the job we need to do and at the end, we’ll get the trophy hopefully.”
