Scottish Premiership: Durán inspires Celtic to convincing victory after Dalglish ovation

The Guardian · 2 hours ago

Camilo Durán scored a spectacular long-range strike to inspire Celtic to a 3-0 win over Aberdeen, extending Martin O'Neill's side's perfect start to their Scottish Premiership title defence to four wins from four, despite a recent Champions League exit against Lask. The match was overshadowed by an emotional pre-match tribute to former Celtic and Liverpool great Kenny Dalglish, who received a warm ovation at Parkhead as he continues treatment for cancer.

Durán, who joined from Qarabag in the close-season, has now scored six goals in five appearances after his 14th-minute opener cannoned in off the crossbar, with Benjamin Nygren and Yang Hyun-jun also on target before half-time. Elsewhere, Rangers came from behind to beat Falkirk 2-1 thanks to Lawrence Shankland's double, easing pressure on manager Derek McInnes, while St Mirren moved to within two points of Celtic with a 1-0 win at Kilmarnock. Motherwell also won 3-0 against Dundee United to sit third, and St Johnstone snatched a stoppage-time 1-1 draw against Dundee.
