Camilo Duran has swiftly established himself as a Celtic hero, delivering a world-class performance in their 3-0 victory over LASK. The 24-year-old Colombian's outstanding display has earned him praise from Martin O'Neill, who called it a world-class performance.

He registered six shots, the most among Celtic players, and four on target. His tireless workrate and eagerness to track back impressed fans, with captain Callum McGregor praising his workrate post-match. Comparisons to former idol Daizen Maeda have been drawn, with McFadden noting that Duran possesses Maeda's workrate, willingness to press, and goal-scoring ability in crucial moments.
