Iheanacho scores late winner as Celtic beat Dundee

Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to score the winning goal as Celtic defeated Dundee at Dens Park on Sunday. Benjamin Nygren gave Celtic the lead in the 9th minute, but Simon Murray levelled for Dundee from the penalty spot in the 57th minute. Iheanacho, who replaced Tomás Cvancara shortly after the equaliser, controlled a pass from Marcelo Saracchi in the 82nd minute before firing home the decider, ending his 182-day goal drought.

This victory narrows Celtic's gap on Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts to just three points with six matches remaining in the season. For Nigerian fans, Iheanacho's resurgence is significant given his key role for the Super Eagles, and this form could influence his selection for upcoming international fixtures.

With the title race heating up, Celtic's remaining fixtures will be crucial. For readers following Iheanacho or the Scottish league, does this goal mark a return to form for the striker, and can Celtic overcome Hearts' lead in the final stretch?
