Iheanacho Named Baller of the Week Again — This Time After Scottish Cup Heroics

Kelechi Iheanacho is on a roll. And Celtic are glad for it.

The Super Eagles forward has been named Pulse Sports Baller of the Week for the second time in three weeks, this time after a stunning cameo in Celtic’s 6-2 demolition of St Mirren in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Sunday.

Iheanacho came on in the 83rd minute and scored twice in extra-time — a header and a close-range finish — to send Celtic into the final. Manager Martin O’Neill didn’t hold back. “Kelechi Iheanacho coming on and doing brilliantly,” he said.

From super-sub to semi-final hero. Nigeria’s forgotten striker is making people remember him fast.
