Celtic FC's hopes for a successful end to the season may hinge on the fitness of Kelechi Iheanacho, who has faced injury challenges since his arrival from Manchester City in September. The 29-year-old striker has made only eight starts in 18 appearances but has made a significant impact off the bench, scoring six goals in just 746 minutes of play, averaging a goal every 124 minutes. As Celtic aims for the Premiership title and prepares for a Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline, concerns about Iheanacho's recurring injuries persist. Podcaster Paul John Dykes emphasized the need for Iheanacho to start games, as other options like Daizen Maeda, Junior Adamu, and Tomas Cvancara have not matched his quality. With crucial matches approaching, the team's success may depend on getting Iheanacho fit enough to contribute from the start.
