Camilo Duran has done it again.
The Colombian striker found the net after just 11 minutes against AC Milan at Celtic Park, making it three goals in three pre-season appearances. For a player who only arrived this summer, it is hard to ask for a more exciting start. ?0?
A Striker Making an Immediate Impact
Every striker wants to make an instant impression. Duran is doing exactly that.
He opened his Celtic account against Sporting CP before following it up against Middlesbrough. Now he has added AC Milan to the list. These are not meaningless finishes against weak opposition. They have come against quality teams, and they suggest Celtic may have found something special. ?1?
Confidence Is Growing Every Week
Goals breed confidence, and confidence breeds more goals.
Duran already looks as though he belongs in a Celtic shirt. His movement is sharp, he attacks the penalty area with purpose and, most importantly, he looks calm when the chances arrive.
That is exactly what supporters have been crying out for.
Could He Be The Man?
It is still early days and nobody should place unrealistic expectations on a player after three pre-season matches.
But football supporters are allowed to get excited, and Duran is giving Celtic fans every reason to believe they could have a genuine goalscorer on their hands.
If he carries this form into the Premiership and Europe, this could prove to be one of the smartest signings the club has made in years.
There is a long season ahead, but first impressions matter.
Right now, Camilo Duran is passing every test.
Three games. Three goals.
Could this guy be THE man Celtic have been waiting for?
Could be deadly with Høgh…
Best since Sutton and Larsson hopefully !
