The two goal contributions take the attacker's tally for 2024/25 to nine in 17 league appearances.
Tilio is due back at Celtic this summer. He has only made two senior appearances for the club after joining them in 2023.
He recently opened up on his initial Parkhead struggles and future ambitions: "It was hard," he said [Optus Sport].
"In my head I thought I would only be out a week or so, and up until that point I had never been injured in my career, so I thought I would be fine," he said.
"But then, when I came back to London and did a medical, they said I had done a grade three hamstring tear, so that was a 12-week injury, and I did that rehab all through the Celtic pre-season.
"Being injured was new to me, I did not know the whole rehab side of it and how you approach it, but obviously I learnt it very quickly. It does build up and get a lot (mentally), but it also fuels you, you want to stay out there and play.
"I thought 'enough is enough', I want to do everything I can to make sure I am there playing, and if I am playing consistently, I know what I'm capable of."
"I'd like to think (next season) I am playing consistently over in Europe."
