Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has been double-nominated for Celtic's Goal of the Month award, following two impressive strikes for the Scottish Premiership champions in April. 

The Manchester City academy graduate should be in contention to be named in the  matchday squad on Sunday when the Hoops take on Rangers in the Old Firm derby, having previously missed four matches against their Glasgow rivals earlier in the season due to fitness concerns. 

Celtic have shortlisted six goals for the club's Goal of the Month, with Iheanacho's brilliant strikes against Dundee and St Mirren making the cut. 

Against St Mirren in the semifinal of the Scottish Cup on April 19, he came off the bench to inspire Celtic to a 6-2 win over St Mirren and the highlight of his impressive performance was a delicate, elegant finish from inside the box in the tenth minute of extra time.

Iheanacho has also been nominated for his match-winning strike in a Premiership clash against Dundee on April 5.

The super-sub controlled a cross from Marcelo Saracchi before firing a powerful finish into the net in the 82nd minute.

Iheanacho's goals have been nominated for the monthly accolade alongside strikes from Saoirse Noonan, Anthony Ralston, Kieran Tierney, and Daizen Maeda.
