Kelechi Iheanacho was on target as Celtic claimed a hard-fought 3–2 victory over Motherwell in a thrilling Scottish Premiership clash on Sunday.

The Nigerian forward opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 27th minute, setting the tone for an entertaining contest at Celtic Park.

The goal took Iheanacho’s tally to three in five appearances across all competitions for the Hoops since joining the club. He was later substituted in the 78th minute, making way for Michel-Ange Balikwisha.

The win ended Celtic’s three-game winless run and helped Brendan Rodgers’ side close the gap on league leaders Hearts to two points.
