Celtic captain praises Iheanacho for his match‑winning goal.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor praised Kelechi Iheanacho after the striker scored the decisive goal in Wednesday night’s important win against Motherwell.

Martin O’Neill’s side came off the bench to convert a penalty in stoppage time, giving the Hoops a 3‑2 victory.

This is the third time the Nigerian international has netted a decisive goal as a substitute for Celtic this season.

The strike was Iheanacho’s eighth for the club across all competitions.

McGregor highlighted the striker’s willingness to take the crucial penalty.

“He’s a big personality, a big player who steps up in the big moments and gets us over the line. Now it’s in our own hands,” McGregor said on Celtic TV.
