Kelechi Iheanacho gave Celtic a different option when he came onto the pitch and had the St Mirren backline fighting a different challenge.
The striker, who netted the crucial winner against Dundee last week, was captured in an unseen moment celebrating passionately on his own at full-time.
I must admit that Kelechi Iheanacho is rapidly becoming my favourite Celtic personality player now that Julián Araujo is unlikely to don the Hoops for us again.
Not only does he give 100%, he also brings tremendous energy and passion during & after the game, as demonstrated… pic.twitter.com/WJ8AmMYH7k

While teammates soaked in the win together, Iheanacho took a second to let it all out, a raw reaction that summed up just how much the result meant.
It wasn’t just another three points. It was pressure. Relief. Belief.
The kind of moment that shows a player fully bought in, fighting for the badge, the fans and the title push.
And if Celtic are to pull off something special in these final weeks, that kind of emotion might just be what drives them over the line.
They’re up against a Hearts side who came from a goal down to win 3-1 against Motherwell. Celtic scraped past St Mirren, but they got three points, and that is what matters at this stage of the season.
Celtic face St Mirren again next week at Hampden Park before they head into the split. A place is up for grabs in the Scottish Cup final to face either Falkirk or Dunfermline.
