Kelechi Iheanacho finds his rhythm after months of inconsistency with Celtic
Celtic continues to find answers in key moments, and one name that has resurfaced is Kelechi Iheanacho. The striker has had an inconsistent season, but his goal in the victory against Dundee could mark a turning point in his performance.
The goal in the 82nd minute not only secured three important points but also provided a morale boost for a player who has endured a difficult few months. After suffering an injury in October, his return in December has been gradual, and he has yet to establish himself as an undisputed starter in the team’s system.
A necessary performance boost for his future
At 29 years old, and after an interesting spell at Leicester City, Iheanacho has had to adapt to a secondary role at Celtic. However, his impact off the bench is starting to be noticeable.
In the last match, he played just 32 minutes, but it was enough to demonstrate that he can offer a different attacking profile, with freshness and the ability to finish in crucial moments.
With a contract until June 2026, his future remains uncertain. However, if he can maintain this level of performance, he could become a valuable asset in the team’s attacking rotation.
For a Celtic side that needs solutions in attack, getting players like Kelechi Iheanacho back to their best will be key to aspiring to a more competitive season.
