Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho is celebrating another major European milestone after helping Celtic F.C. secure a dramatic Scottish Premiership title victory in a breathtaking final-day showdown.
Celtic sealed the championship with an electrifying 3-1 comeback win over Heart of Midlothian F.C., clinching their fifth straight league title and extending their historic dominance in Scottish football with a record 56th league crown.
The race for the title had reached boiling point heading into the final fixture, with Hearts sitting one point ahead and appearing destined to dethrone the reigning champions. But Celtic produced a fearless response after conceding early, turning the game around in front of a roaring home crowd.
While Iheanacho did not find the net in the decisive clash, the Super Eagles forward had already etched his name into Celtic’s title story days earlier with a crucial late penalty against Motherwell that kept the club’s championship dream alive.
The former Leicester City F.C. star has enjoyed an impactful first season in Scotland, contributing vital goals, energy, and experience during one of the fiercest title battles in recent Premiership history.
Scenes of jubilation erupted at Celtic Park after the final whistle, as supporters flooded the pitch to celebrate another unforgettable chapter in the club’s storied legacy.
For Iheanacho, the triumph adds yet another trophy to his growing collection and further cements his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most accomplished football exports competing in Europe.
