VASILIS BARKAS 6
Rooted to his line for early St Mirren opener, but grew in confidence afterwards and commanded area well.
HATEM ELHAMED 6
Blind backpass summed up Celtic’s early slackness, but improved as night went on.
SHANE DUFFY 7
Showed his prowess yet again in the opposition box to head home equaliser, his second goal in two games.
KRISTOFFER AJER 6
Surging runs forward were a constant danger, but was less sure when asked to defend, and over-confidence almost cost as he presented a chance to Erwin with moment of slackness.
JAMES FORREST 7
Not known for his heading ability, but planted a belter into the top corner to complete Celtic’s first-half turnaround. More like his old self.
GREG TAYLOR 6
Always an option down the left-hand side, but not a lot of joy.
SCOTT BROWN 6
Picked up a yellow card for obstruction, but skipper looks to be moving up the gears.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 6
Picked up space in a few decent areas and may feel he should have found the net with opportunity early in second half.
RYAN CHRISTIE 7
Defending isn’t his strong suit and it showed as he lost Erwin for St Mirren’s opener. Wonderful free-kick delivery though for equaliser and great cross for second too.
PATRYK KLIMALA 5
Frustrating night for the forward, who couldn’t find space in behind and fed on scraps for most part.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 5
Subdued in first half, and should have done better when clean through. Then hit a poor penalty after break that was saved easily by Zlamal.
SUBSTITUTES
ALBIAN AJETI (for Klimala, 66’) 4
On to provide a spark and tried to make ball stick.
OLIVIER NTCHAM (for Edouard, 80’) 3
Got on the ball and was tidy.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG (for Forrest, 80’) 3
Showed glimpses of his searing pace.
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
