RATINGS CELTIC

-

VASILIS BARKAS

6 Rooted to his line for early St Mirren opener, but grew in confidence afterwards and commanded area well.

HATEM ELHAMED

Blind backpass summed up Celtic’s early slackness, but improved as night went on.

SHANE DUFFY

7 Showed his prowess yet again in the opposition box to head home equaliser, his second goal in two games.

KRISTOFFER AJER

Surging runs forward were a constant danger, but was less sure when asked to defend, and over- confidence presented a chance to Erwin.

JAMES FORREST

Not known for his heading ability, but planted a belter into the top corner to complete Celtic’s first- half turnaround.

GREG TAYLOR

6 Always an option down the lefthand side, but not a lot of joy.

SCOTT BROWN

Picked up a yellow card for obstructio­n, but skipper looks to be moving up the gears.

CALLUM McGREGOR

6 Picked up space in a few decent areas and may feel he should have found the net with opportunit­y early in second half.

RYAN CHRISTIE

7 Defending isn’t his strong suit and it showed as he lost Erwin for St Mirren’s opener. Wonderful free- kick delivery though for equaliser and great cross for second too.

PATRYK KLIMALA

Frustratin­g night for the forward, who couldn’t find space in behind and fed on scraps for most part.

ODSONNE EDOUARD

Subdued in first half and should have done better when clean through. Then hit a poor penalty after break that was saved easily by Zlamal.

Substitute­s: Albian Ajeti

( for Klimala, 66’) 4 On to provide a spark. Olivier Ntcham ( for Edouard, 80’) 3 Got on the ball and was tidy. Jeremie Frimpong ( for Forrest, 80’) 3 Showed glimpses of his searing pace.
