CELTIC PLAYER RATINGS
VASILIS BARKAS 6
Let down by his defence at the St Johnstone goal.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 5
The young wing back tried hard, but failed to reproduce his bright display in the San Siro.
KRSTOFFER AJER 4
The Norwegian was posted missing for the St Johnstone goal.
CHRSTOPHER JULLIEN 6
Came back in to the three man Celtic rearguard. Set up Rogic in front of goal in the first-half with a deft header.
NIR BITTON 5
Headed a Stevie May shot off the Celtic goal line in the first-half. But he switched off at Chris Kane's goal.
DIEGO LAXALT 4
The Uruguayan failed to make much of an impact on the overlap in the opening 45 minutes. Failed to reappear for the second-half.
SCOTT BROWN 4
The Parkhead captain made his 600th appearance for Celtic. It wasn’t one of his most memorable. Was replaced after less than an hour.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 6
Played a couple of defence-splitting through balls upfield to Edouard that his team mate should have done better with.
RYAN CHRISTIE 6
Tested St Johnstone keeper Zander Clark with a second-half header. Supplied Mohamed Elyounoussi for the equaliser .
TOM ROGIC 6
Showed great close control whenever he got on the ball. Distributed the ball accurately and intelligently too.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 5
Had chances to score in the first-half. Failed to take them. Teed up Christie with a clever backward header in the second-half.

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
