Kelechi Iheanacho didn't expect the Celtic supporters to be as happy as they were after his late winner at Rugby Park on Sunday.
The Nigerian striker, making his debut in green and white, stepped up in the dying embers to secure three points for his new side against Kilmarnock.
"It's a great feeling," Iheanacho told Celtic TV post-match.
"I didn't expect them [the fans] to be that happy, coming out of their seats and jumping on the pitch.
"It was a great feeling. I'm really, really happy. Hopefully, there are many more [goals] to come."

Iheanacho signed for the Parkhead club as a free agent a fortnight ago.
He worked with Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City, and the Celtic manager is delighted to have him back at his disposal.
"I was really pleased with Kelechi Iheanacho, for him," said Rodgers post-match.
"I think the last penalty he took was for me at Wembley against Manchester City in the Community Shield, he stuck that one away and that was his other moment there, and I think that's a big moment for him with the supporters and everything else.
"So, yeah, we got it, he's still got to score and he scored it and then we take the win."
Celtic are next in action on Sunday, as they travel to face Partick Thistle in the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup.
