Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has praised Camilo Durán as being "on fire" following his late two-goal performance in a 3-2 Europa League victory over Beşiktaş. Despite Durán's stellar form taking him to 13 goals for the season, O'Neill also backed striker Kasper Hogh, who has now gone 15 matches without a goal, ahead of Sunday's Scottish Premiership clash with Kilmarnock at Celtic Park.

O'Neill noted that he values Hogh's ability to hold up the ball and told him not to worry about the scoring drought.
