VASILIS BARKAS 4: Goalkeeper had to do so much better with Goldson's early header that gave Rangers the lead, allowing the ball to slip through his grasp. Shaky thereafter.
STEPHEN WELSH 5: Youngster was given just his second start, and while he looked nervous at times, he was far from the worst Celt on display.
SHANE DUFFY 5: Won a few towering headers, but got needlessly involved with Morelos at times. Not the derby debut he had dreamed of.
KRISTOFFER AJER 7: The big defender was one of the few who emerged with any real credit, producing two goal-saving interventions and trying to at least drive forward on occasion.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 5: Completely nullified on the right by Barisic and Kamara. Unable to use pace to any effect whatsoever.
DIEGO LAXALT 6: Was largely stymied like Frimpong on the opposite flank, but showed a few nice touches and some signs of promise.
SCOTT BROWN 5: It was the captain's 40th derby, and seldom can he have had a quieter one. Came deep to look for the ball, but couldn't drive his team forward.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 5: Rare off-day for Celtic's model of consistency. Wild pass out of play when trying to find Laxalt summed up his afternoon.
OLIVIER NTCHAM 4: Offered absolutely nothing to the Celtic performance. Couldn't get on the ball enough.
MOI ELYOUNOUSSI 4: Blew Celtic's one big opportunity at 1-0 down, skying a simple lob over McGregor.
PATRYK KLIMALA 4: Tried hard, but offered no threat whatsoever to Rangers defence.
SUBSTITUTES
ALBIAN AJETI 3: Wasn't match-fit and it showed.
TOM ROGIC 3: Wizard of Oz couldn't provide any magic.
LEIGH GRIFFITHS 4: Almost got goal back after rounding McGregor.
GREG TAYLOR N/A: Not a lot of time to make an impact.
DAVID TURNBULL N/A: Desperate last throw of dice.
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
