Celtic kitman Stevie Wright couldn't hide his appreciation for Kelechi Iheanacho after he scored a late winner for the Bhoys against Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Introduced as a second-half substitute, the Nigerian striker stepped up from 12 yards in the dying embers to secure a 2-1 victory for his new team.

Wright has made headlines previously, most notably when Brendan Rodgers was incensed at him for giving Paulo Bernardo penalty advice before a Scottish Cup semi-final shootout against Aberdeen in 2024.
"I don't like a kitman near them," said Rodgers of the incident at the time. "Stevie got a wee bit of a blast from me, didn't he?
"Bless him. He's a good guy, Stevie, he's Celtic-daft, he's Celtic-mad, but you've got to know your place.
"At that moment, the work was prepared in terms of who was going to be taking the penalties. So, we virtually knew as soon as the whistle went, what the order would be for the players on the pitch.
"Everything else that had gone on before, because we had to come from behind, and then we've had disappointments of being in front and conceding equalisers, so that could really affect your mentality."
