Johnny: I can fire up real Celts

JOHNNY KENNY insists he can bring the firepower to shoot down high-flying Hearts and ignite Celtic's Premiership defence at Tynecastle.

Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers has seen his side hit by an injury crisis and could turn to the 22-year-old to lead the line with Kelechi Iheanacho ruled out and Daizen Maeda struggling.

The former Shamrock Rovers frontman has only started two games for the Hoops since signing in 2022 but could be thrust into the top of the table showdown as the champs look to cut the Jambos' five-point lead.

Kenny, who came on for Iheanacho just four minutes into Thursday's 2-1 Europa League win over Sturm Graz, is confident he can be the goal hero as he urged his team-mates to show the REAL Celtic at Tynecastle.
