Barkas 6: Had no chance with Killie's penalty on his first-team debut. Was rarely troubled outwith the spot-kick and looked assured with his passing from the back.
Taylor 6: Didn't venture forward with as much gusto as usual and didn't do much when he did get there. Crossing not at its best all day.
Jullien 5: Had a real tough time against Kabamba. Gave away penalty and often out-muscled by the striker.
Ajer 5: Was lucky not to be up against Kilmarnock's target man directly but still had his issues to deal with in Aaron Tshibola.
Frimpong 6: Full of energy and effort but couldn't have any influence as an attacking force. Subbed.
Forrest 6: Swapped wings throughout the game with Elyounoussi but struggled to have an impact on either side. As usual, a lot of running, but this time, little reward.
McGregor 6: Had to come deeper to get on the ball as Celtic moved it wide, often bypassing their midfield players. Had a few shots on goal but they were from distance.
Brown 5: Booked for his first foul after 73 minutes which was about all we saw from the Celtic skipper. Subbed.
Christie 6: Clever to have a shot from distance with the free-kick which opened the scoring. Didn't create much after the restart.
Elyounoussi 5: Only managed just over an hour before he was taken off. Barely featured as a forward threat and was subbed.
Edouard 6: Took a while to get into the game and was restricted to hopeful efforts from outside the box.
Subs:
Klimala 4: Looks like he's capable of forming a partnership with Odsonne Edouard, but 30 minutes wasn't long enough to prove it.
Elhamed 4: Not as attacking as Frimpong but safe at the back.
Ntcham 3: N/A
Bolingoli 2: N/A
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
