Martin O’Neill applauds Kelechi Iheanacho after Celtic edge past Dundee FC 2-1

Martin O’Neill singled out Kelechi Iheanacho for praise after Celtic’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Dundee FC.

Iheanacho made a decisive impact off the bench, scoring the winning goal to secure all three points for the Hoops. The result keeps Celtic in second place in the Scottish Premiership, just three points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.

The Nigerian forward, who joined the club on a free transfer last September, has struggled with injuries this season. However, his strike against Dundee marked his fourth goal of the campaign.

O’Neill praised Iheanacho’s quality, acknowledging the challenges he has faced but highlighting his proven ability in front of goal. He described the striker as a talented player with a natural scoring instinct, capable of delivering when it matters most.
