Iheanacho fires Celtic into Scottish Cup final with brace from the bench

Monday, 20 April 2026, 00:06 · 1 min read

Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench in the 83rd minute to score twice in extra time, helping Celtic (Scotland's dominant club side) defeat St Mirren 6–2 in their Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, Glasgow. Introduced with the score level at 2–2 after St Mirren's Mikael Mandron had twice cancelled out Celtic's first-half lead, Iheanacho headed home in the 96th minute before adding a composed second five minutes later to put the tie beyond doubt. The 29-year-old Super Eagles striker, whose debut season in Scotland has been disrupted by hamstring injuries, will now look to carry his form into the Scottish FA Cup final against Dunfermline Athletic on 23 May.
