Gary Lineker has backed Kelechi Iheanacho to score plenty of goals at Celtic.
The legendary striker is confident the former Leicester forward will succeed in Glasgow as he branded the Nigerian as "one of our favourites at Leicester".
Iheanacho netted in Belgrade to earn Celtic a point against Crvena zvezda in their opening league phase match in the Europa League this season.
“I’ve seen the highlights," Lineker said recapping the match on The Rest Is Football.
"One of our favourites from Leicester, Kelechi Iheanacho scored.
"I think he will score a lot of goals for Celtic.
"Brendan Rodgers knows him very well from when he managed him at Leicester.
"He’s a very, very good finisher Kelechi, in the Scottish league he will bag lots of goals.”

Iheanacho has scored twice in three outings for Celtic so far since making the move to Glasgow to reunite with Brendan Rodgers.
The striker joined Celtic as a free agent after his contract with Sevilla was terminated by mutual consent on September 1.
Lineker added: "He's streaky. When he's on it...he is a natural goalscorer, his movement, and he is a good finisher.
"He was one of those that was always happy, a really good attitude."
