RATINGS Celtic

- Alison McConnell

COLIN DOYLE

4 Looked uncertain throughout. Hesitant as he looked to close down Odsonne Edouard and quick in on Albian Ajeti. Got a finger to Edouard’s penalty but couldn’t keep it out.

ROSS MILLEN

Rare chances to get forward and penned into his own half for much of the game.

ZENI IBSEN ROSSI

5

6 Couple of strong, late tackles but a night when Celtic were fairly relentless in attack.

CLEVID DIKAMONA

4 Struggled against a Celtic side that came in waves for most of the night.

BRANDON HAUNSTRUP

Had his hands full trying to curtail the width that Celtic had with the full-backs.

ALAN POWER

One late effort that drew a fairly routine stop from Scott Bain but a night when Kilmarnock’s midfield were outplayed.

GARY DICKER

5 One low effort that zipped past Bain’s post as he looked to get Kilmarnock level after Celtic’s opener but came to nothing.

AARON TSHIBOLA

Earned a booking for a retributiv­e foul on Scott Brown but was in a running battle with the Celtic captain throughout. Felt he took an elbow from Brown in the first half.

CHRIS BURKE

Had Kilmarnock’s best moment of the night when he had a header scrambled off the line. Protested vociferous­ly that the ball was over.

GEORGE OAKLEY

5 Few chances to make a telling contributi­on to the game as Celtic put in a performanc­e that hasn’t been seen too often this term.

RORY MCKENZIE

His dinked cross to the back post almost gave Killie a lifeline back into the game but a difficult night for him as Celtic controlled the game.

Substitute­s BRANDON PIERRICK

(for Dicker 71) Got on to make his debut when he came on in the second period after arriving on loan from Crystal Palace but night to forget for him.

MITCH PINNOCK

(for Burke 76) On for the last 15 minutes and had one low effort just wide of the post.

NICKE KABAMBA 2

(for Oakley 71) Game was long gone by then. 2
