Celtic CRAIG GORDON

-

He was rooted to the spot at both goals but got off his line to mop up when needed. It was hardly the goalie’s fault but he could do with making a good save quite soon .....

Just maybe the years and the injuries are taking their toll. A full-back’s job is to stop crosses and he let one in for the opener. Gave away the free-kick and didn’t mark properly at the second .......

Okay, he wasn’t brilliant, but this is an inexperien­ced player – who was at Dundee in January – and in all honesty this is too big a step up. Out-jumped for the second, the truth is he is not yet good enough for this level and perhaps it was unfair to throw him in..4

There was a sigh of relief a year ago when he didn’t move to Roma. What has happened? He had a nightmare, again, and it’s hard to see where he goes from here. Oddly, he came close to a crucial goal in the final moments

Played more like a winger and yet it was he who tried to block the first goal because nobody else was. Gave his all in what eventually was a lost cause. Cross led to the goal – he was his team’s best player. Again ............

Had an okay game, and was right to wonder why Marko Livija wasn’t sent off for grabbing him after a foul. Had one shot which was miles over. That kind of night .................

He couldn’t find a final pass, which wasn’t always on it has to be said. Had a decent effort with a free-kick but the Frenchman needs to do more. His shooting from distance was dreadful ........

He did well enough. Got crosses in, hardly gave away the ball and got back to help out defence. Forrest is good enough at this level but got little assistance .....................

Good shot on the turn after 11 minutes and great goalkeepin­g prevented him scoring a header. Flitted in and out of the game but looked the part when on the ball ..........
