Former Celtic striker Kelechi Iheanacho admitted he is proud to have smashed the Turkish record for scoring in consecutive games after netting for the 11th match in a row.
The Nigerian international striker played a big role as Celtic snatched the title in the final moments of last season.
But he surprisingly opted to move to Bursaspor after failing to agree a new deal with the Hoops and has run amok in the Turkish second tier.

His goal in his club's 2-0 win against Pendikspor was the 11th league game in a row where he has netted - the best-ever scoring run in Turkish football history.
He's scored 15 goals in that spell and his run even actually extends to 12 games in a row with a goal, after he scored for his country in a 3-3 draw with Russia in a friendly.
Iheanacho said: "I wasn't aware I was breaking records, but keep getting told about it.

"I am happy and proud of what I have done to have broken such a record in Turkish football. It has not been easy and has been very difficult.
"So I am proud of myself. I hope both myself and my team continue to score goals.
"I won't say anything about my future plans regarding my Bursaspor career for now. I don't want to answer that because it's a matter concerning the future.
"We're not in the future right now, we're living in the present. I will continue to enjoy the moment and try to help the club win the league."
