Iheanacho replaced Yang Hyun-jun in the 70th minute and made an immediate impact, scoring what proved to be the decisive goal just two minutes later.
The strike marked his seventh goal in all competitions for Celtic this season.
Martin O’Neill’s side remain second in the table, level on points with leaders who still have a game in hand.
