Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho celebrated Scottish Premiership glory as Celtic came from behind to defeat Heart of Midlothian 3-1 on the final day of the 2025/26 season.
Celtic were forced to respond after Lawrence Shankland gave Hearts the lead late in the first half, but Arne Engels equalised from the penalty spot before the break to bring the hosts back into the contest.
With the title race hanging in the balance, Daizen Maeda scored in the 87th minute to put Celtic ahead before Callum Osmand sealed the victory with a stoppage-time goal at Celtic Park.
