Kelechi Iheanacho Finally Opens His Celtic Account After VAR Frustrations
Written by Alonge Akinlolu on 5 — 10
After weeks of near misses and heartbreaks, Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho finally saw his name on the scoresheet for Celtic FC, this time, with no VAR drama to ruin the moment.
The former Leicester City striker had been the unlucky victim of technology in his last two outings, seeing goals against Braga and Hibernian both overturned after VAR reviews.
However, in Celtic’s clash against Motherwell, Iheanacho’s persistence paid off as he calmly converted from the spot to seal his first official goal for the Scottish giants.
It was a moment of relief and redemption for the 28-year-old, who has already made a strong impression since joining the club. In all competitions so far, he’s been involved in four goals (3 scored, 1 assisted) across six appearances, a promising return for a player still settling into life in Scotland.
