Camilo Durán starts for Celtic against Benfica in Lisbon
Celtic named Camilo Durán in their starting lineup to face Benfica in Lisbon.
Manager Martin O’Neill also brought in Auston Trusty and Oliver Sørensen, while Liam Scales and Benjamin Nygren moved to the bench.
Celtic were seeking their first Europa League points after losing 3–1 to Ferencváros, while Benfica had won their opening match against AC Milan.
