Celtic FC is in a competitive race for the Scottish Premiership title, currently sitting third, just three points behind leaders Hearts. The club's decision on Kelechi Iheanacho's future hinges on his performance in the last six matches of the season. Iheanacho, who signed a one-year contract in September 2025, has had modest statistics this season, scoring two goals in six league appearances. Former Aberdeen and Everton chief executive Keith Wyness emphasized that if Iheanacho can score crucial goals in upcoming matches, he may earn an extension. However, if he fails to deliver, he will leave as a free agent when his contract expires this summer. The pressure is on Iheanacho to prove his worth, as Celtic aims for their first title win in years against stiff competition from Rangers and Hearts.
