Celtic captain, Callum McGregor is rooting for Kelechi Iheanacho to make a positive impact at the the club, Ekwutosblog reports.

Iheanacho joined the Scottish Premiership champions on a free transfer two weeks ago.

The Nigeria international comes in as a direct replacement for Adam Idah, who left Celtic Park for Sky Bet Championship club, Swansea City on deadline day.

The 28-year-old had a troubled stay with Sevilla in the first half of last season before he was loaned to Middlesbrough where he netted once in 15 league appearances.

McGregor, however, believed he will make instant impact at the club.

“We’ve added a top striker (Iheanacho), albeit he’s not played so much, but the early signs are good,” he told the club’s official website.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
