Celtic supporters finally get their first look at Kasper Høgh and Camilo Durán leading the line together in a hugely exciting opening-night starting XI.

There is something different about this Celtic starting XI.
For weeks, supporters have debated transfers, questioned recruitment and wondered when they would finally see the club’s new attacking signings in action.
Tonight, they have their answer.
Kasper Høgh and Camilo Durán both start, and it is impossible not to feel excited about what could lie ahead.
The first competitive game of a new season always brings optimism. However, this feels even bigger because Celtic finally have two new forwards ready to make their mark from the first whistle.
Celtic Høgh Durán Partnership Starts
The team has a strong spine.
Viljami Sinisalo starts in goal behind Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty and Kieran Tierney.
Calum McGregor captains the side, while Arne Engels anchors the midfield.
Benjamin Nygren and Yang provide the creativity behind the front two.
Nevertheless, all eyes will be on Høgh and Durán.
Supporters have spent weeks reading about them. Now comes the exciting part.
Can Høgh provide the physical presence in the box? Can Durán stretch defences with his movement and pace? More importantly, can the pair quickly build the understanding needed to become Celtic’s first-choice strike partnership?
Those questions begin to be answered tonight.
Celtic Fans Have Every Reason To Be Excited
No one should expect perfection in one game.
New signings always need time to settle.
However, football is built on excitement, and Celtic supporters have every right to feel optimistic.
For the first time, Høgh and Durán have the chance to show exactly why the club invested in them.
Parkhead will provide the perfect stage.
If the pair click immediately, this could be the start of something special.
Even if it takes time, tonight feels like the beginning of a new attacking era.
Transfer speculation can wait.
Now it is all about seeing Høgh and Durán wearing the famous green and white hoops together and giving the Celtic support a glimpse of what the future might look like.
Maybe play them beside each other.
The first half has been the same boring shite we were watching all last season
