Scotland: Celtic get Iheanacho boost ahead Hearts clash

Iheanacho has been sidelined with a hamstring injury twice since arriving Celtic on a free transfer last summer.

The Nigeria international’s last appearance for Celtic came in the Premier Sports Cup final defeat to St Mirren at the Hampden Park in December.

The striker was back on grass at Celtic’s Lennoxtown training ground on Friday morning, putting him in the frame for the clash with leaders, Hearts.

Iheanacho could be a serious option off the bench against Derek McInnes’ side.

The 29-year-old has scored twice in four league appearances for Celtic this season.
