Celtic's recent defeat at Ibrox has sparked discussions about potential changes to the team for upcoming matches. Midfield issues and player positioning were highlighted as contributing factors to the loss. Camilo Duran, who has been effective as a central striker, was moved to a wider role during the game. Analysts suggest restoring him to the center could enhance Celtic's performance, especially as they prepare for matches against Ferencvaros and Rangers. Manager Martin O'Neill may also consider other personnel adjustments to stabilize the midfield.
