Kelechi Iheanacho delivered a decisive moment on Sunday night, coming off the bench to score a late winner for Celtic FC in a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Dundee FC.
The Nigerian forward struck in the 82nd minute, finishing calmly to seal all three points for Celtic in a tense Scottish Premiership encounter. His goal did not only secure the win but also reignited Celtic’s push in the title race as the season edges toward its final stretch.
Iheanacho’s strike carries added significance. The 29-year-old had endured a difficult spell in front of goal, failing to score in nearly six months. His composed finish against Dundee could mark a turning point, both for his confidence and his role within the squad.
Celtic had struggled to break down a disciplined Dundee side for much of the game, with the visitors showing resilience and organization. However, the introduction of Iheanacho provided a boost, as his movement and sharpness in the final third proved decisive.
The result keeps Celtic firmly in contention for the league title, with 64 points in 32 league games, they sit in the third position, just 3 points behind league toppers Hearts. while Iheanacho’s return to the scoresheet offers a timely boost for the club ahead of upcoming fixtures.
