Petrov Urges Celtic to Move On from Iheanacho Despite Title Heroics

Former Celtic and Aston Villa midfielder Stiliyan Petrov has suggested Celtic should let Kelechi Iheanacho leave this summer, despite the Nigerian striker’s decisive late goals. Iheanacho’s brace of match-winning contributions helped secure Celtic’s 56th league title. But Petrov argues that recurring injuries and a short-term deal raise questions about the forward’s long-term role at the club. Speaking on a Scottish football podcast, Petrov said Celtic need a striker with pace and durability. He urged the Hoops to target a more mobile frontman in the next transfer window. With the Scottish Cup Final against Dunfermline Athletic on the horizon, Celtic could yet complete a domestic double. But fans may have seen Iheanacho’s final display in green-and-white.
