Kris Boyd believes Celtic have “got their recruitment 100 per cent spot on so far”.

The former Rangers striker praised the team's summer signings after their 3-0 Champions League play-off first-leg win over LASK Linz.

In his Scottish Sun column, Boyd highlighted Camilo Duran as the standout performer, scoring twice on his Celtic debut.

He said: "Duran stole the show with two incredible goals in a brilliant individual display. His finishing was matched by his work rate."

Boyd also commended the contributions of record signing Kasper Hogh, despite him not scoring against LASK. He said: "Kasper Hogh didn’t score against LASK but the £11m signing showed his worth.

"The Celtic No 9 was a handful all night and gave his team an out ball. Hogh never stopped; he put himself about and his presence was so important."

Boyd believes the Danish striker is already helping his teammates improve. "The Dane is helping to bring out the best in Benjamin Nygren, who is playing the finest football of his Celtic career to date."

Boyd further picked out Mika Baur, who made his full debut in midfield, and Haissem Hassan as additional signings who can make a difference for Martin O’Neill’s side. He said: "O’Neill had a core squad, but Celtic have added pace and power at the top end with good signings.

"That will be hard to stop domestically."
