Vasilis Barkas 6
Wasn’t tested too often with shots but was a commanding presence in the box and snuffed out a few crosses.
Jeremie Frimpong 6
Started slowly but improved as the game went on. Could have had a goal at the end.
Nir Bitton N/A
Had to come off injured after a few minutes.
Shane Duffy 6
Quiet night from the Irishman, who didn’t have too much to do.
Kris Ajer 6
Solid at the back but didn’t make his trademark forays forward with the ball.
Greg Taylor 6
Rampaged up and down the left flank but was missing that all-important final ball.
Scott Brown 6
Standard performance from the skipper. Sat at the base of midfield, broke up opposition attacks and kept the ball moving.
Callum McGregor 7
Was the catalyst for Celtic’s better passages of play. Tidy on the ball and made clever runs forward.
Ryan Christie 7
Was his usual industrious self. Crucial role in the goal.
Moi Elyonoussi 6
Had a couple of snap-shots but failed to make the most of them.
Odsonne Edouard 6
Quiet in the first half but grew into the game. Got the all-important goal.
Substitutes
Hatem Elhamed (for Bitton, 9) 5
Couple of hairy moments for the Israeli at the back.
Patryk Klimala (for Edouard, 78) 4
Decent cameo from the Polish forward. Held it up well and ran down the clock.
Olivier Ntcham (for Christie, 85) N/A
Not enough time to make an impact.
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
