FORSTER Dealt with a cross from Joshua Mullin in the first-half and denied Ross Stewart with an outstretched leg in the second. Had very little to do otherwise 6
FRIMPONG The Manchester City loanee made his first start in the Ladbrokes Premiership and only his second appearance for Celtic. The 18-year-old showed his youth and inexperience at times, but he also offered glimpses of his talent. Had a hand in the fourth goal and set up the fifth 7
JULLIEN Got upfield whenever he was able and used his height and physicality to good effect in the Ross County box. The French centre half was unfortunate not to score himself. Teed up the second goal with a cross that Keith Watson failed to clear 7
AJER Dealt with what little threat the visitors posed comfortably and helped his side keep a deserved clean sheet. But the Norwegian defender won’t have many easier afternoons than this one this season 6
BOLINGOLI Overlapped at every available opportunity and was untroubled by the County forwards defensively 6
BROWN Strolled through the 90 minutes. Was alert to any County attacks and quickly broke them down 6
MCGREGOR Hit the post in the first-half after being teed up by Odsonne Edouard. Made amends for that missed opportunity when he made it 3-0 in the second-half. Was replaced by Nir Bitton in the second-half 6
FORREST Supplied Edouard for his second goal and then scored himself shortly after that. Another who was taken off to give him a rest before the Lazio match on Thursday night 7
ROGIC The Australian playmaker made his first league start made his first league start since returning to full fitness from a lengthy injury lay-off in the absence of the suspended Ryan Christie. Showed some nice touches, not least when he sent Vakoun Bayo through on goal late on, but he needs games 6
ELYOUNOUSSI The Southampton loanee opened the scoring in the fourth minute and performed brilliantly thereafter. He even chipped the ball into the box using a cheeky rabona at one point.
Had the simplest of tasks to score from close range in the second-half. He is clearly loving life at Celtic 8
EDOUARD Outstanding. Dropped deep to pick up the ball regularly and wreaked havoc with his tricks, dummies and back heels. Netted twice in the second-half to take his tally for the season to 11 and set up McGregor for his goal before being replaced to a standing ovation 9
Substitutes
BAYO Took over from Edouard. Had a hand in the sixth goal and should have made it seven 4
BITTON Replaced McGregor. Enjoyed his run-out 3
SHVED Hardly involved 2.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
