Man by Man

- BY MICHAEL GANNON

CELTIC VASILIS BARKAS

5 Big chance to nail down his place but looked ropey for free-kick first. Never really made important save.

Needed to be stronger at more than a few goals and seemed like the trouble was all down his side.

Almost looks too relaxed at times but distributi­on was decent and made several key interventi­ons.

Impressed at times when striding forward with the ball but still not dominant enough at the back.

6 Gave a decent account of himself against his employers up against a tough customer in Castillejo.

SCOTT BROWN

Really solid start but it got tougher as game wore on and the Italians grabbed control of the game.

6 One of the trailing trio for the third goal but bust a gut for 90 minutes going box to box.

JEREMIE FRIMPONG

6 Pace caused Milan problems down right early on but too often took the wrong option in final third.

6 Classy finish and inches away from a second. Busy and dangerous before tiring.

RYAN CHRISTIE

7 Sublime reverse pass for Edouard’s goal. A threat but dived in at free-kick for Calhanoglu’s strike. ODSONNE EDOUARD 7 Much more like his old self. Finish was sensationa­l. Looked keen to play himself back into form.

Moved the ball neatly. 4

A rare opportunit­y. Seemed keen.

Couldn’t make much impact late on. Not used: Bain, Hazard, Jullien, Taylor, Ajeti, Henderson, Welsh.
