Celtic striker Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench on Saturday as Martin O’Neill’s side defeated Hearts to retain the Scottish Premiership title…
The former Leicester City frontman has scored 8 goals in his first season with Celtic as he has struggled with injuries.
Despite lifting the title at the weekend and being given time off by MON, the Nigerian striker shared a video of himself training down in Manchester via Instagram in an effort to continue getting his sharpness up ahead of the Scottish Cup Final against Dunfermline.

It is pleasing to see Iheanacho putting in the hard yards. His quality is obvious when he is on the pitch, the struggle appears to be getting him up to fitness. The goals that he has scored have been vital in helping deliver a fifth successive trophy.
Celtic have a decision to make on whether to exercise the option on Iheanacho’s deal to extend his stay at Celtic Park. The forward has proven his worth in the last few months, scoring some big goals after coming in from the cold. There is a feeling that if he was given a pre-season then he could be a 20+ striker for the Hoops next season.
