Kelechi Iheanacho received a lot of praise from Celtic manager Martin O’Neill after the Hoops defeated St Mirren.
With an exciting 6-2 victory over the Saints at Hampden Park on Sunday afternoon, Celtic easily advanced to the Scottish Cup final, and Iheanacho was the hero.
After entering the game as a replacement in the 83rd minute, the Nigerian scored twice in extra time.
The first was an excellent header, and the second was a fantastic inside-the-box shot.
O’ Neil was thrilled with the striker’s impact on the game following his debut.
O’Neill was quoted by Celtic TV as saying, “It was a tough afternoon, but there were some great goals, Kelechi Iheanacho coming on and doing brilliantly.”
