Duran & Osmand spark Celtic into life - but where does that leave Hogh?

Story

Martin O'Neill has previously said he is unsure of his best team, but it is now obvious that Camilo Duran is Celtic's best option through the middle.

Callum Osmand and Camilo Duran were key as Celtic turned the game on its head

With an hour gone at Parkhead on Thursday, hope in the stands was in short supply.

Celtic were 1-0 down against Besiktas and heading towards a fourth straight defeat in this season's Europa League.

Manager Martin O'Neill turned to his bench for a spark, bringing on Callum Osmand and Camilo Duran to replace Sebastian Tounekti and James Forrest out wide.

Osmand's first touch nestled in the bottom corner of Alexander Nubel's goal, just 43 seconds after the 20-year-old attacker came on.

All of a sudden, Celtic had a threat in behind and Besiktas looked rattled.

Then, on 77 minutes, O'Neill withdrew Kasper Hogh after another underwhelming display from the club record signing and moved Duran through the middle.
