Is Kelechi Iheanacho available for Celtic against Kilmarnock this weekend?

Kelechi Iheanacho says he is ready to feature for Celtic against Kilmarnock this weekend. 

The Nigerian striker signed for the Bhoys last week on a one-year contract, with the club holding the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months. 

Having trained with his new teammates this week, Iheanacho could feature for Celtic as they return to action after the international break at Rugby Park on Sunday.  

"Yeah, I'm ready," Iheanacho told Celtic TV when asked if he is available for the upcoming match.

"I've always been ready since I started playing football."

Having won the FA Cup and Community Shield with Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City, the 28-year-old is keen to add more medals to his cabinet at Celtic. 

"Funnily enough, when I came in here, I saw the trophies they have won. Just seeing like 50-something, a lot of trophies," he said.

"It looks like it is something normal for the club, so they are used to winning trophies, and they are comfortable doing that. Hopefully, I will be part of that great thing here to join them and win trophies.

"I will be happy to be part of it and, of course, to play my part to help the team to do that.

"They have done it over the years, every year they keep doing it, keep winning trophies, so they are a very massive club.

"It is a massive city, and I am happy to be here."
