In a tense encounter at Celtic Park, Kelechi Iheanacho emerged as the hero with a late winner, guiding Celtic to a hard-fought victory over Hibernian, who played with ten men for much of the match. Despite dominating possession, Celtic struggled to convert their chances until Iheanacho's decisive strike broke the deadlock in the final minutes, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.
Hibernian's hopes were dashed when they were reduced to ten men in the first half, yet they held firm against Celtic's relentless attack. Manager Brendan Rodgers praised his team's resilience, stating, "It was a test of character, and we found a way to win, which is crucial as we push for the title." This victory not only strengthens Celtic's position in the league but also reinforces Iheanacho’s role as a game-changer in critical moments.
Looking ahead, Celtic will aim to build on this momentum as they approach the final stretch of the season, with their sights set firmly on reclaiming the league title. The challenge will be to convert their dominance into consistent results, particularly as the pressure intensifies in the coming weeks.
