Striker Kelechi Iheanacho has to lead the line for Celtic in the decisive final weeks of the Scottish Premiership title race, according to former midfielder Scott Allan.
The forward has seen his time in Glasgow disrupted by injury since joining the club last summer but showed his worth again on Sunday when he smashed in a late winner against Dundee.
Tomas Cvancara started up front at Dens Park but was replaced by Iheanacho moments after Simon Murray's penalty had cancelled out Yang's opener.
The substitute's contribution was an example of the clinical finishing that makes him the ideal first choice, Allan told the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast.
"I think if you can keep Iheanacho fit, that's the million dollar question," he said.
"Sometimes you see him then you don't see him for another three weeks. But if he is fit, he's the most instinctive and best finisher they have in that number nine position.
"I think you see that at Dundee, the times that Cvancara does have real chances and has half chances, he's not a killer.
"He doesn't look like he's got real conviction in his finishing, and that's why he's had a loan deal here. He comes to Celtic and it's a stop gap and you're hoping.
"But for me, Iheanacho, if they can keep him fit, has to lead the line. He links the game better for Celtic as well for me.
"Even the goal he scores, it's the little cute things, cute nudge, just to put Ryan Astley off balance and then on the swivel.
"There's no thought process, it's just instinctive striker play."
