CELTIC RATINGS
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.
