Duran stars as Celtic cruise, Rangers snatch late winner

Celtic striker Camilo Duran inspired the Scottish champions to a 3-0 victory over Aberdeen with a spectacular 14th-minute goal. The Colombian netted the opener, collecting Benjamin Nygren's pass and unleashing a powerful drive that cannoned in off the crossbar. Duran, who has scored six goals in five matches for Martin O'Neill's side since joining from Qarabag, has set the tone for the team since the start of the season.

He can play in various positions, according to O'Neill, who praised the Colombian's all-around abilities.

Rangers snatched a 2-1 victory against Falkirk on Wednesday night, securing a crucial win in their Championship campaign. Lawrence Shankland scored twice for Rangers, with his first goal coming from a penalty in the first minute. Kosta Nedeljkovic equalized for Falkirk with a self-goal just before halftime, but Shankland's second goal sealed the win for Rangers.

The match was watched by Derek McInnes, who is serving a two-match touchline ban for comments made as Hearts' manager last season. Rangers remain three points behind leaders Celtic, while St Mirren sits second after their 1-0 win at Kilmarnock.
