The scenes followed a match that changed sharply after O’Neill turned to his bench. Celtic had failed to register a shot on target before half-time and fell behind when Junior Olaitan converted the rebound after Sam Johnstone saved his penalty.

Callum Osmand and Durán arrived in the 61st minute, with the former scoring with his first touch after collecting Callum McGregor’s pass.

Osmand then supplied Durán for Celtic’s second. The Colombian timed his run behind the defence and rounded Alexander Nübel before putting the Hoops ahead.

There was another setback when Orkun Kökçü equalised in the 86th minute, but Durán needed only a minute to restore Celtic’s lead.

Tierney’s effort reached the striker inside the box, where he controlled the ball and adjusted his feet before finishing. His two goals secured Celtic’s first three points of the league phase at the fourth attempt.

Scales had also come close to scoring during Celtic’s second-half improvement. His header from Benjamin Nygren’s corner forced Nübel to turn the ball over the bar.

Speaking to BBC Sport afterwards, O’Neill explained what he had told the team following their comeback.

“They were a credit to the football club and can’t get a bigger accolade than that.”

He also acknowledged the contribution of the players introduced from the bench.

“Substitutes made a big, big difference as well too. We’ve got a lot of players up front but I was just delighted with the whole team.”
