McGregor Thumbs Up Iheanacho

McGregor said the striker has big pedigree, and still have what it takes to compete at the highest level.

“I think the first time I saw him, you know, you can just tell by the way someone hits the ball—you think, ‘Right, he can play, McGregor was quoted by the Glasgow Times.

“He’s got a big pedigree.

“He’s played at big clubs and obviously played under the manager at Leicester as well.

“And you can see he’s a good player.”

Attitude And Work

Despite his lack of minutes at previous clubs, McGregor praised Iheanacho’s attitude and hard work.

“The reason we’ve got him is probably because he’s lacking a bit of game time and just needs to get up to speed,” added McCregor

“The good thing is, he’s come in and his attitude’s been amazing.”
