CELTIC RATINGS

- By MARK WILSON

TEAM AVE

CRAIG GORDON

Did not inspire great confidence at set-plays. Headed clearance was punished.

SAIDY JANKO

Boundless energy, even if it was not always matched by an end product.

MIKAEL LUSTIG

Provided fewer scares than Efe Ambrose, using his know-how to decent effect.

EOGHAN O’CONNELL

Booked as Astana spread nerves. Another decent showing from the youngster.

KIERAN TIERNEY

Earned the penalty on the stroke of half-time. Another powerful display.

STUART ARMSTRONG

Failed to make inroads wherever he played. Substitute­d on the hour.

SCOTT BROWN

Sat deepest in the midfield, with passing of a variable quality.

CALLUM McGREGOR

Was involved in much of Celtic’s better play in the first half. Faded somewhat later but always tried to get involved.

PATRICK ROBERTS

A few glimmers of the Manchester City loanee’s creative skill before a hamstring injury ended his night on 31 minutes.

LEIGH GRIFFITHS

Sent one effort wide before converting from the spot. Felt the full force of Shitov after the break.

JAMES FORREST

Provided a lot of energy and one or two moments of threat.
