Kelechi Iheanacho was delighted with his goals, and outcome of Celtic’s Scottish Cup encounter against St Mirren.
Iheanacho came on with seven minutes remaining in the semi-final encounter.
The Nigeria international made massive impact in extra-time, scoring twice to help the Hoops book their place in next month’s final against Dunfermline Athletic.
The first was a near post header from a James Forrest cross and then he produced a stunning left-foot finish from inside the area.

“But obviously we’ll give it our best to make sure we win the silverware.
“Collectively, as a team, we’ll really fight to win it.”
