“Celtic Have Got a Star!” 👀 — Camilo Durán Sends Fans Into Frenzy After Stunning LASK Display
Celtic fans may have witnessed the arrival of their next attacking superstar.
Camilo Durán was the name on everyone’s lips after Celtic produced a sensational 3–0 victory over LASK at Celtic Park, with the Colombian forward scoring twice in a performance that had supporters dreaming of what could be ahead.
The Champions League play-off first leg was billed as a huge European test for Martin O’Neill’s side.
By the final whistle, however, it was Durán who had stolen the spotlight.
The new signing delivered two outstanding finishes, while Benjamin Nygren also found the net as Celtic secured a commanding advantage ahead of the return leg.
⭐ Camilo Durán is the star
Celtic supporters didn’t need long to realise that they were watching something special.
Durán looked dangerous from the beginning, combining movement, physicality and technical ability to cause problems for the LASK defence.
His first goal came in the 38th minute, doubling Celtic’s advantage after Benjamin Nygren had opened the scoring.
But Durán wasn’t finished.
In the 67th minute, he struck again to complete his brace and send Celtic Park into celebration.
Two goals on one of the biggest nights of Celtic’s season was the perfect way for the forward to announce himself on the European stage.
🔥 “This guy is different”
The excitement among Celtic supporters was immediate.
Social media quickly filled with praise for the Colombian, with fans describing Durán as a potential superstar after watching him produce two high-quality finishes against LASK.
One supporter reaction summed up the mood:
“Duran is a superstar.”
Another Celtic fan praised the combination of Durán and Nygren, describing the pair as phenomenal after the 3–0 victory.
And it wasn’t only the goals that impressed.
Durán’s all-round performance gave Celtic another dimension in attack. He was willing to run at defenders, make intelligent movements and work hard when Celtic didn’t have possession.
That combination could make him an extremely important player for O’Neill as the season develops.
⚽ Nygren starts the party
Before Durán took centre stage, Benjamin Nygren had already given Celtic the perfect start.
The Swedish attacker opened the scoring in the 26th minute, producing another impressive moment to put Celtic ahead.
Nygren then played an important role in Celtic’s attacking performance as LASK struggled to contain the home side.
With Nygren providing creativity and Durán offering power and movement up front, Celtic suddenly looked like a completely different attacking team compared with last season.
The supporters have every reason to be excited.
💥 Three goals. Three huge moments.
Celtic’s goals came at crucial moments.
26′ — Benjamin Nygren 1–0
Nygren broke the deadlock and settled some of the early nerves around Celtic Park.
38′ — Camilo Durán 2–0
Durán then produced his first of the night, giving Celtic a two-goal cushion before half-time.
67′ — Camilo Durán 3–0
The Colombian completed his brace after the break, effectively putting Celtic in control of the tie.
The final scoreline read Celtic 3–0 LASK, but the biggest story was undoubtedly the performance of Durán.
👀 Even Martin O’Neill was impressed
Durán’s display earned enormous praise after the final whistle, with reports highlighting manager Martin O’Neill’s admiration for the forward’s performance.
O’Neill’s Celtic project is clearly beginning to take shape.
The manager has invested heavily in refreshing his attacking options, and Durán now looks like another major piece of that rebuild.
The Colombian arrived with expectations, but producing a brace in such an important Champions League fixture immediately raises those expectations even further.
🟢 Celtic fans have already made up their minds
It is obviously too early to make definitive judgments about a new signing.
But football supporters don’t always wait.
After just one European night, Celtic fans are already talking about Durán as someone capable of becoming a major star at Parkhead.
And there is plenty to get excited about.
His finishing was excellent.
His movement was dangerous.
His confidence was obvious.
His physical presence caused problems.
And his work rate showed that he wasn’t interested in simply waiting for chances to arrive.
For a forward, that is an extremely encouraging combination.
🏆 Champions League dream gets closer
The result also gives Celtic a huge advantage heading into the second leg.
A 3–0 lead means O’Neill’s side can travel to Austria knowing they have put themselves in an excellent position to progress.
LASK did create opportunities and even had goals ruled out for offside, so Celtic will know the job is not technically finished.
But after three goals at Celtic Park and another impressive attacking display, confidence will be extremely high.
And at the centre of that confidence is Durán.
👑 From new signing to Celtic star?
It may only be the beginning.
But if Camilo Durán continues performing like this, Celtic supporters may soon stop talking about him as a promising new signing.
They may simply call him what he looked like on Wednesday night:
a star.
Two goals.
A 3–0 Champions League victory.
A commanding advantage in the play-off.
And a performance that has Celtic fans dreaming big.
Camilo Durán has arrived. 👀🍀
