The Colombian forward scored the winner against Hibs at Easter Road as the Hoops ran out 2-1 victors despite going a goal down early on.

Duran found the back of the net after Jason Kerr's own goal levelled proceedings for the visitors. But the 24-year-old did not always look comfortable on the flank.

The attacker has been playing through the middle for his side and scored nine times from 16 outings this campaign. But with record signing Kasper Hogh still pushing for a place, manager Martin O'Neill chose the Dane to lead the line.

Can’t fault Celtic domestically. Not a great performance but 3 points against Hibs after another European loss. Still big concerns over that midfield area and second balls the longer the game went on. Duran class finish but looks unhappy on the right. Gutted for AJ hope he’s ok!

That forced Duran to shift outside and ex-Celt Sutton believes he does not look the same player on the right compared to as an out and out striker.

"Can’t fault Celtic domestically," he posted on X. "Not a great performance but 3 points against Hibs after another European loss. Still big concerns over that midfield area and second balls the longer the game went on.

"Duran class finish but looks unhappy on the right. Gutted for AJ hope he’s okay!"

Alistair Johnston, having just returned to action after months out in the second-half, was forced off with what could potentially be a relapse of his hamstring issue.
