After the restart, Sebastian Tounekti combined with Iheanacho in sharp one two to slot home his first goal for the club. Substitute Luke McCowan completed the rout in the 79 minute.
The Nigerian player, who scored late penalty against Kilmarnock on his debut, showed further quality with his link up play.
Celtic Coach, Brendan Rodgers, praided his fitness calling him “one of the leanest players in the squad” despite limited minutes before arriving in Glasgow.
