Camilo Duran to make late Celtic dash for Lisbon as Martin O’Neill rubbishes Cameron Carter-Vickers conspiracy theory

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill confirmed that top scorer Camilo Duran will travel to Lisbon to join the squad for their Europa League clash against Benfica. Duran missed training on Wednesday after receiving permission to remain home with his partner, Valentina Jaramillo, for the birth of their second child. O'Neill stated that arrangements were being made to fly the forward to Portugal ahead of the match.

Meanwhile, O'Neill dismissed rumors of a falling out with Cameron Carter-Vickers following the defender's recent critical comments after a loss to Rangers. The manager clarified that Carter-Vickers is sidelined by a hamstring injury that will likely keep him out for about 10 days, including Sunday's league fixture against Hearts.
