Camilo Duran scored another stunner as Celtic continued their perfect start to the Scottish Premiership season with a 3-0 win over Aberdeen. Benjamin Nygren and Hyun-jun Yang were also on target as Celtic killed the game off before the break. Aberdeen hit the bar through Gavin Molloy just before Yang's strike but manager Stephen Robinson had seen enough and made four changes at the interval.
Duran has now scored six goals in five matches and Martin O'Neill might find it difficult to put him back on the wing when fellow centre-forward Kasper Hogh recovers from a thigh injury. The Colombian opened the scoring out of the blue in the 14th minute with the latest in a series of spectacular strikes since joining from Qarabag in the summer. There appeared to be little on when Duran collected Nygren's pass but he thumped a 20-yard strike in off the bar with limited backlift.
Duran also forced four first-half saves from Marius Muller and fired over from a bouncing ball after Yang's cross had caused chaos in the Dons defence. 14: GOAL! Duran fires the hosts ahead with a stunning long-range strike. 19: CHANCE! The Colombian should have doubled the hosts' lead, only to fire over from close range. 24: CHANCE!
Faced with just Muller to beat, Duran's low shot is saved by the Dons No 1. 34: GOAL! Nygren's mishit shot somehow bobbles past Muller. 45+1: BAR! Molloy heads against the bar from three yards out with the goal empty. 45+1: GOAL!
Duran feeds in Yang, who makes no mistake. 77: CHANCE! Mheuka very nearly scored with his first touch, only to be denied by Muller. Play Super 6 for a chance to win £250k!
