FRASER FORSTER: Couldn’t keep up his ridiculous penalty saving record as Brophy beat him from 12 yards with a powerful effort, but had very little else to do outwith that early goal. 6
KRISTOFFER AJER: Showed composure to tuck home Celtic’s leveller, albeit with the aid of a deflection, for his second league goal in as many games. Never ruffled at the back. 7
CHRISTOPHER JULLIEN: Helped ball back across goal for Ajer equaliser and was sound at the other end, dealing with pace and physical threat of Kabamba well. 7
JOZO SIMUNOVIC: Error led to him being wrong side of Brophy to concede early penalty, which the forward tucked away. Made amends with charge forward to provide assist for Celtic’s second, and was solid defensively after his early error. 6
JEREMIE FRIMPONG: Lots of effort and always willing to get up in support of attack. Still just lacking that final bit of sharpness after his short spell out through injury. 6
GREG TAYLOR: Picked out Simunovic with deep cross for Celtic’s second and was generally impressive going both ways on the left flank. 7
CALLUM MCGREGOR: Captain for the day and led by example with his endeavour and quality on the ball. 8
TOM ROGIC: Given that it looks as though the Australian wizard doesn’t know what he is going to do with the ball half the time, it must be a nightmare for defenders to predict his next move. Showed great feet at times, just couldn’t provide that final ball on this occasion before being replaced. 7
RYAN CHRISTIE: Crucial early block from Kabamba in opening seconds, and then contributed throughout in his more familiar advanced territory, crossing for Griffiths to score the third. Great all-round performance. 8
LEIGH GRIFFITHS: Looked a little off it early on, but soon found his rhythm and started to link well with Edouard once again. Tucked home at the back post from a Christie cross for his fifth goal in nine games since the break. 7
ODSONNE EDOUARD: Bundled in to put Celtic ahead, but wasted two other clear opportunities in the second half before his clever pass set Christie away to cross for the third. Even when not at his best, still great to watch. 7
SUBSTITUTES
BAYO: Came on for Edouard and had a couple of chances which he couldn't convert. 4
MOHAMED ELYOUNOUSSI: Tried to get on the ball and make things happen. 4
NIR BITTON: Used the ball well when he came on. 4
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!
