Kelechi Iheanacho insists he is ready to start matches for Celtic after coming off the bench to fire in a crucial winning goal in Sunday's victory at Dundee.
The former Manchester City striker has endured an injury-hit campaign but feels fit enough to play a full part in a gripping title run-in.
Celtic's win at Dens Park moved them to within three points of leaders Hearts, with six rounds of fixtures remaining.
No striker in the squad has managed to nail down the starting spot in Martin O'Neill's side, but Iheanacho is confident he can be the man after netting his fourth goal of the season.
"I'm sure I'm fit to start games, but obviously it's up to the manager to pick who he wants to start," the 29-year-old said. "But I'm really sure I'm perfectly okay to start games.
"The manager has been good to everyone at the club. His management is really good – he speaks to everyone really well. Speaking with him gives me so much confidence to play as well. So it's really good.
"It feels really good to get the win, especially in such an important game. I'm happy to help the team get the three points. And obviously I'm happy that the fans are really happy."
