Celtic FC have won the Scottish Premiership with Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho leading them to the victory to earn his first league trophy in professional football.
The 29-year-old was a vital cog in Celtic’s title run-in and netted a crucial penalty in a previous fixture that saw the club remain firmly in contention throughout the final stretch of the season. That proved the turning point, with Celtic going on to take the title ahead of their rivals.
Iheanacho’s involvement is a huge milestone for his career as it’s his first ever league victory in a career spanning years in Europe’s top competitions.
The former Manchester City and Leicester City forward has always been known for his technical brilliance and calmness in front of goal but this title win is a massive personal achievement.
For Celtic, the victory cements their rise to the top of Scottish football, and for Iheanacho, it marks a new chapter; one filled with silverware and a crucial performance when it counted the most.
