VASILIS BARKAS 6: No real chance with any of Milan's goals due to the poor standard of defending in front of him.
STEPHEN WELSH 5: Youngster should have been much tighter to his man as he was outjumped at opener, and was hooked at half-time as Celtic changed formation.
SHANE DUFFY 4: Real off-night for the defender, who looked extremely uncomfortable in the back three especially. Could be said he played a role in all three of Milan's goals.
KRISTOFFER AJER 7: As was the case on Saturday, Ajer was the only defender to come out of the game with much credit. May have impressed Milan scouts once more.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 5: Tried to get forward as much as he could, but defensive positioning hugely suspect, particularly at third goal.
SCOTT BROWN 5: Quiet night from the skipper as he failed to get a hold of the game in the centre of the park.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 6: Lauded as Celtic's main man before the game by the opposition, but couldn't quite influence the match enough.
DIEGO LAXALT 7: Impressed going forward down the left with forceful running. Showed some neat touches and passing too against his parent club.
OLIVIER NTCHAM 6: Improved showing from the Frenchman after an insipid display against Rangers. Almost produced a late equaliser.
ALBIAN AJETI 6: Striker showed some decent hold-up play, but just couldn't quite find his killer touch.
LEIGH GRIFFITHS 5: Striker couldn;t get into game before being sacrificed in half-time shake-up.
SUBSTITUTES
MOI ELYOUNOUSSI 7: Great header to drag Celtic back into game and brought a spark.
RYAN CHRISTIE 6: Decent overall, but will be disappointed with set-pieces.
TOM ROGIC 7: Brought the quality in attack that had been missing.
PATRYK KLIMALA 5: Tried hard to get involved late on.
GREG TAYLOR 5: Provided fresh legs when Laxalt ran out of steam.
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
