Celtic are ahead in their must win at Easter Road after Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho came on to score. The ex-Leicester striker was introduced with under twenty minutes remaining with Martin O’Neill’s side needing a goal.
As he did at Dens Park, Iheanacho stepped up and took a brilliant touch before rattling the ball into the net at the back post.
⚡️ INSTANT IMPACT!

Celtic have had a lot of the ball but have struggled to work Jordan Smith in the Hibs goal. This is a massive goal for Celtic as it will take them level with Hearts, who face Rangers at Tynecastle tomorrow.
Hibs are somewhat fortunate to have had their goal stand after replays appeared to indicate Joe Newell handled the ball before netting on the stroke of half time. VAR checked it but told David Dickinson that the goal could stand.
