Joe Hart 8
Perhaps quiter than expected. More than comfortable throughout and only troubled by Ryan Jack’s effort off the bar.
Greg Taylor 8
Solid defensively and offered some support in attack, can be pleased with his night’s work.
Carl Starfelt 7
A few wayward passes but he was never in danger of being punnished on a straight-forward night.
Cameron Carter-Vickers 8
Commanding performance from the USA international, wasn’t troubled all night.
Josip Juranovic 9
A terrific performance both offensively and defensively. Desperate to burst forward and expertly marshalled Ryan Kent in the second 45 minutes.
Callum McGregor 8
A captain’s display. Masked-up after his facial injury he put in a tireless shift in the middle of the park.
Matt O’Riley 8
Confident, hard-working and exciting player for Celtic. A big part of everything good going forward and mucked in during battling second-half.
Reo Hatate 9
A stand-out. First goal deflected but second pure class. Quickly becoming a fan favourite and key man for Ange Postecoglou.
Jota 8
Only further endeared himself to support with excellent performance. Inviting crosses all night and a trick to boot.
Liel Abada 8
A livewire in attack and was rewarded with his well-taken goal. A constant threat before being taken off injured.
Giorgos Giakoumakis 7
Did everything but score. Watched a number of decent efforts well saved by McGregor but couldn’t get on the scoresheet.
Daizen Maeda (Giakoumakis, 62) 6
Arrived in Glasgow on the morning of the match and was delighted to be given the last half-hour.
James Forrest (Abada, 62) 5
Few nice touches in a mesaured outing.
James McCarthy (Reo Hatate, 72) 4
On for final stages, neat and tidy on the ball.
Ben Doak (Jota, 88) 2
On for final minutes.
Ismaila Soro (O’Riley, 88) 2
Given late run-out.
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
