Martin O’Neill Hints at Kelechi Iheanacho Start for Celtic Clash Against Falkirk
“I Think He Would Like to Start” — O’Neill Opens Door for Iheanacho in Celtic Lineup
Celtic head coach Martin O’Neill has suggested that Kelechi Iheanacho is in strong contention to start for Celtic FC in their upcoming Scottish Premiership fixture against Falkirk FC.
The interim Celtic boss addressed growing calls from supporters for Iheanacho to be handed a starting role, acknowledging the Nigerian forward’s increasing impact in recent weeks.
“He came on at Dundee, scored the goal probably at that stage in the proceedings, probably the only one that would have got us the goal at the time.
“He’s followed that up there by scoring some goals, took them brilliantly.
“And, yes, I think he would like to start in the game. Daizen Maeda started this press from centre-forward position, got us the goal early on.
