CONOR HAZARD 7:
Weekend penalty shootout hero retained his place and dealt with what little came his way well enough. Showed good hands, though wasn’t exactly overworked.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 8:
Constant threat down the right and produced a brilliant assist for Turnbull for Celtic’s opener.
CHRISTOPHER JULLIEN 7:
Gave Stewart one early sniff of a chance, but was handling him well otherwise until injury forced the striker from the action. Replacement Shaw didn’t come close to troubling him.
KRISTOFFER AJER 7:
Back in his more familiar central defensive role and strolled through the evening. Got a few chances to stride forward too as he loves to do.
DIEGO LAXALT 6:
Industrious enough down the left, but didn’t quite carry the same threat as Frimpong on the other wing. Not bad, but not great either.
ISMAILA SORO 7:
Back in for captain Brown and anchored the diamond midfield well with his customary energy and exuberance.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 8:
Was the fulcrum for much of Celtic’s attacking play and showcased a wonderful range of passing.
RYAN CHRISTIE 7:
Willing to shoot from almost anywhere, which produces a mixed bag of results. Radar a little off here, but still bagged an assist.
DAVID TURNBULL 8:
Got his first league goal for the club with a nice finish to open the scoring, but overall play was impressive again. Celtic fans may be asking why it was deep into winter before they saw him regularly.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 7:
Tried hard to get on the ball and came close on a few occasions.
LEIGH GRIFFITHS 7:
Struggled to find space in the first half, but burst into life after the restart. Missed two great chances before burying more difficult third with fine header.
SUBSTITUTES
OLIVIER NTCHAM 4: Part of triple change for last 20 minutes but couldn’t make impact.
TOM ROGIC 4: Like Ntcham, didn’t really effect the game.
MIKEY JOHNSTON 5: Brightest of the subs, showing tricky feet.
ALBIAN AJETI 3: Not a sniff.
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.
