How the Celtic players rated in their 4-0 win over Livingston.
FRASER FORSTER 6 Very little to do. Saved one effort from Lawless, but a virtual spectator for the most part.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 8 Youngster played as a winger for the majority of the afternoon, bombing forward at every opportunity and playing a major part in the third goal. Exciting talent.
CHRIS JULLIEN 7 No nerves this time against Livi for the Frenchman, who coasted through the game. Left a dull one on old adversary Dykes in first half, and frontman was quiet thereafter.
KRIS AJER 7 Like his central defensive partner, he strolled through the game as Livi struggled to offer any threat of note.
JONNY HAYES 6 Injured his shoulder as he careered up the left in the first half, and though he came back out for the second period, he lasted only minutes before being forced from the action.
SCOTT BROWN 7 Captain rounded off a good afternoon’s work by getting on the scoresheet, his deflected effort beating Sarkic to give Celtic the second goal that killed the game.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 7 Celtic’s model of consistency churned out another impressive display as he kept his side ticking over in the middle of the park and dictated the tempo.
RYAN CHRISTIE 7 Denied the goal his performance probably deserved by a fine Sarkic save. Such a threat going forward and prepared to do dirty work going the other way.
TOM ROGIC 7 Australian played in behind Edouard and showed off his brilliant feet on a few occasions. Great to watch when in full flow.
JAMES FORREST 8 Cracking finish from winger to get Celtic’s third, brilliantly controlling a volley from a ball that dropped out of the sky with snow on it. Got fourth too late on.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 8 Finished the opener in fine style as he latched onto Rogic’s ball and clipped it over Sarkic.
SUBSTITUTES
GREG TAYLOR 6 Left-back got his chance after Hayes injury and hit post as he linked up well with Forrest.
LEIGH GRIFFITHS 5 Loudest cheer of the day as striker made his return but couldn’t get on scoresheet.
OLIVIER NTCHAM 5 On for Rogic and tried to get involved.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
