The first time I saw him kick a ball in training I knew he was a Kel of a player

MCGREGOR BELIEVES CELTIC HAVE A STAR IN IHEANACHO

- BY RYAN McDONALD

TWO goals in his first four games, it's not a bad start for a so-called desperation signing.

And Callum McGregor agrees, convinced that the best is yet to come from Celtic's new No.17.

Kelechi Iheanacho's arrival 24 hours after transfer deadline day summed up a chaotic window for the Hoops.

But after ripping up his contract at Sevilla to answer an SOS from Brendan Rodgers, Iheanacho might well prove to be the real deal.

The early signs are promising. A last-minute penalty winner capped off a dream debut at Kilmarnock before a super-sub showing in Belgrade got Celts off the mark in the Europa League.

The Nigerian did draw a blank against Hibs at the weekend but still found the right positions.

And skipper McGregor (right with Iheanacho) reckons the ex-Manchester City prodigy could be the perfect fit for the champions.
