JOE HART 6: Got a hand to Helander’s header that brought Rangers their goal, but couldn’t be blamed for failing to keep it out. Little to do otherwise.

ANTHONY RALSTON 7: Defended well on the whole against Kent and always willing to bomb forward too.

STEPHEN WELSH 6: Aggressive in his defending and used the ball well too. Stood up to physical battle.

CARL STARFELT 5: Unconvincing start to defender’s Celtic career continues. Defended well at times in the air, but was caught under the ball as Helander got the leap on him to score.

JOSIP JURANOVIC 7: New signing was given his debut at left-back and acquitted himself well despite being out of position.

CALLUM MCGREGOR 7: Celtic captain produced another good performance in the midfield, but ultimately couldn't drag his team to victory,

LIEL ABADA 6: Had a lively opening to the game, but faded thereafter and struggled to make an impact in attacking areas.

DAVID TURNBULL 5: Had some decent moments when he got on the ball, but all in all the game rather passed him by.

RYAN CHRISTIE 6: A real mixed bag, with some dangerous crosses and lovely passes interspersed with some real moments of slackness on the ball.

KYOGO FURUHASHI 7: A lively presence on the left early on, and set up glorious opportunity for Edouard. Looked dangerous when pushed up top, but spurned a couple of opportunities.

ODSONNE EDOUARD 4: Missed unbelievable chance as ball came off his heel and skewed wide. Was peripheral after that and no surprise to see him taken off with 20 minutes left.

SUBSTITUTES

TOM ROGIC 3: Couldn’t turn the game Celtic’s way despite some nice touches.

ADAM MONTGOMERY 3: Got late run out.
