KELECHI TO TURN OUT PEACHY

Ex-Celtic star Mulgrew reckons his old club may have found bargain and a fit-again Nacho can be great asset

CELTIC fans fear Kelechi Iheanacho is past his sell-by date after the Hoops picked the striker up off the supermarket yellow sticker shelf 24 hours after the transfer window closed.

But Charlie Mulgrew is convinced his old club might have found a bargain at the bottom of the barrel.

Former Leicester City star Iheanacho landed as a free agent after being released by Sevilla on the back of a struggling season in Spain and a miserable loan spell at Middlesbrough amid complaints over his fitness.

Iheanacho, 28, posted social media videos over the weekend of him training on his own and looking slim and sharp.

And Mulgrew reckons the hitman could come good at Parkhead.

He said: "Because Iheanacho never came in on deadline day and then he comes in the next day - a striker was needed and then he comes in. So now he's in the door and people then look at when he played last, what shape is he in?

"There are a couple of pictures of him circulating on social media but he'll be judged on the pitch, that's what happens.
