Celtic are still in the title race as super sub Kelechi Iheanacho came to the rescue against Dundee.
It looked as if the Hoops would comfortably win following a dominant first-half display, only to shoot themselves in the foot when Colby Donovan was punished for a handball in the box, allowing Simon Murray to score from the penalty spot.
Iheanacho was introduced in the second half and had been quiet up until striking late on to move the Bhoys to within three points of Hearts and two points of Rangers, keeping the title race alive.
With that, here are five things I learned from a huge win for Martin O’Neill’s side.
Your INSTANT REACTION to that win 😅
Is the title race in our hands?
Celtic’s late late show strikes again
Late goals have been the theme of Celtic’s season and that lucky statistic came to the rescue once again thanks to Iheanacho.
26 per cent of the Bhoys’ goals have come in the final 15 minutes and as it looked like their title hopes were going to fade away, the substitute turned and swivelled to fire home from close range.
While they have been nowhere near their best, it shows that Celtic can keep going until the end and find a way.
The opening goal debate
A fast start was needed after the Hoops’ dreadful showing across the road against Dundee United before the international break, but nobody expected their opener to cause a stir between teammates.
Benjamin Nygren was initially credited with scoring the opening goal but replays appeared to show that Hyunjun Yang may have got the final touch instead.
While the Sweden international wheeled away in celebration, Yang threw his arm in the air and seemed visibly frustrated that Nygren had nipped in to score his 20th goal of the season. Eventually, the goal was awarded to the South Korean for his ninth of the campaign.
Even after the pair returned for the second half, they were still debating as to who had got the final touch. At least it’s a positive headache.
Who do you think got the final touch for Celtic’s opener?
Daizen Maeda back to his best
Daizen Maeda has looked indifferent all year long, ever since he publicly announced that he wanted to leave the club last summer.
Fans have become more impatient over the course of the year with his performances but nobody can accuse him of not being at the races in the city of discovery.
Defender Bradley Haliday will have nightmares about the winger as he was given the unenviable task of trying to mark, and stop him. If he remains like this for the rest of the run-in, that could be a huge advantage for the Hoops.
Tomas Cvancara wastes chance again
Chris Sutton compared choosing Celtic’s striking option to start a game to a tombola raffle and Tomas Cvancara’s performance certainly justified that.
Cvancara missed two great opportunities, including one where he had gone round the goalkeeper and hit the post before a similar chance in the second half was brought to an end by a poor touch.
Had he converted those, the Bhoys would not have been under the pressure they had faced, which led to Dundee equalising from the penalty spot.
Away support needs to be repeated at Celtic Park
From the first minute to the last at Dens Park, all you could hear was the noise of the Celtic supporters.
In a season of turbulence, in which the majority of TalkingPoints users said they won’t renew their season ticket, fans still made sure to get behind the team and that definitely had a positive impact.
The first half especially looked like Celtic had a spring in their step and that can be attributed to the brilliant supporters behind the goal.
