Iheanacho was praised by Rodgers for his effort in the keenly contested.
“And Kels is probably disappointed that he didn’t score maybe a couple of goals, but as a reference point to the team with his touch and everything else, I thought he was good,” Rodgers told Celtic TV.
“So that’ll be good for him and for all three players to have played at the stadium.”
The former Manchester City star has registered two goals, and one assist in four appearances across all competitions for Celtic.

Another failed player sownding so much on publicity and attention when the focus should be on rescue mission.. From Premiership to EFl to LA Lifa back to EFL and now in Scottish league..
You guys (CSN( should stop this overhyping this guy and focus your headlines more on younger folks like Akinsemiro, Durosinmi, and others doing much better in bigger stages.
If you have nothing good to say just keep quiet, enough of the hate and bitterness towards Kelechi. Keep that spirit to yourself it’s becoming disgusting and a resemblance of what monkey is doing on this forum. Racism has no place in this forum because the country belongs to all of us! Congratulations to Duro and Ebenezer, and you lie because CS has recently shared post of them. So keep your hate far away from someone who’s is looking for his daily bread.
There is nothing like racism in my comment. There are other players doing much better in bigger league and competition and CSN should focus more on those ones. How many times have CSN given the platform to Durosinmi who is the leading Nigerian scorer in Europe so far ?
I mentioned Akinsanmiro at a time he won the MOTM against Napoli and repeated the same this week against Florentina. Why is Iheanacho getting more headlines than these folks ?
The point I raised was genuine a
nd its the reason why we keep recycling underperforming players in the Super Eagles.
CSN reporters should balance their reporting.
If Chelle and the NFF are really
honest, about 40% of the current team should have been removed completely from the team.
Go watch Celtic last match to learn more about your overhyped player.
Chima z daneils yuh are de racist and triblastic one so just sharrap! and kept your fullish igbo cavemen tribalism away fron csn – we did not needed trablistic goats like yuh hear yuh here? Eediot! LMAAOO
