Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho capped his remarkable late-season resurgence by scoring in Celtic FC’s 3-1 victory over Dunfermline Athletic FC to secure the Scottish Cup title yesterday.
The Nigerian striker came off the bench to score Celtic’s third goal in the final as the Scottish champions completed a domestic double after recently clinching the Scottish Premiership title.
The former Leicester City FC striker latched onto a through ball from Benjamin Nygren, displayed brilliant footwork to evade multiple defenders and the goalkeeper, and calmly slotted home from close range.
His latest goal further highlighted Iheanacho’s growing influence during the closing weeks of the season after what initially appeared to be a difficult and frustrating move to Scotland.
After joining Celtic on a one-year contract last summer following his departure from Sevilla, the Nigerian endured a turbulent start at Celtic Park.
