Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to score a crucial late goal as Celtic secured a 2–1 victory over Dundee, keeping their Scottish Premiership title hopes alive.

Celtic knew victory was essential at Dens Park to stay in contention, especially after Hearts dropped points earlier. Yang Hyun-Jun had given the visitors an early lead, but Dundee responded through Simon Murray, who converted from the penalty spot.

With the game heading towards a draw, Iheanacho came off the bench to score in the 82nd minute, securing all three points for Celtic.

The win keeps Celtic firmly in the hunt for the title, especially after Hearts dropped points earlier in the day.
