Kelechi Iheanacho says contributing to Celtic’s success will always be his priority, Completesports.com reports.
Iheanacho came off the bench to score the winning goal in Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road on Sunday.
The Nigerian striker did the same thing at Dens Park last month, while he scored two extra-time goals at Hampden against St Mirren to help the Hoops progress to the Scottish Cup final.
The 29-year-old has now scored seven goals across all competitions for Martin O’Neill’s side this season.
Iheanacho Happy To Help Celtic
Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, Kelechi Iheanacho said: “I always feel great to come in and help the team to get the win, so I’m happy today. The whole team is happy, and especially the fans.

‘It’s really important to stay patient, especially when you’re playing against 10 men.’
“It’s really difficult because they sit back and wait for you to come, so you need patience to move them from side to side to create spaces, and, at the end, we got our reward.
“In the box you need to be composed but it was a difficult finish, to be fair. I wanted to head it at first but I had a second touch to chest it and then the guys started rushing out and I just had to get it on target and see what happened.
“I’m happy that the fans are loving every moment of it, and I’m enjoying it.
“We just need to focus on the rest of the games and do the job we need to do and at the end, we’ll get the trophy hopefully.”
