Iheanacho's Late Goal Secures Celtic's Win Over Hibernian
Kelechi Iheanacho played a crucial role in Celtic FC's 2-1 victory over Hibernian FC at Easter Road on Sunday, maintaining their hopes for the Scottish Premiership title. Daizen Maeda gave Celtic the lead with a simple tap-in just two minutes before halftime.
However, Joe Newell equalized for Hibernian during first-half stoppage time. Iheanacho, who replaced Yang Hyun-jun in the 70th minute, made an immediate impact by scoring the decisive goal just two minutes after coming on.
This marked his seventh goal across all competitions for Celtic this season. Under the management of Martin O'Neill, Celtic remains second in the league table, level on points with leaders Heart of Midlothian but with a game in hand.
