PLAYER RATINGS

- BY STEPHEN McGOWAN

CELTIC (4-3-3) TEAM AVERAGE 7.1

JOE HART 7 No chance with either goal. Launched quick counter attack for Jota’s stunning second.

ANTHONY RALSTON 7 New contract. Header from Turnbull free-kick early in the second half rattled the crossbar.

CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS 7 Turned in another calm, composed, physical performanc­e despite edgy finish.

STEPHEN WELSH 7 In for the injured Starfelt. Untroubled by harsh early yellow card. Limped off for Scales.

JOSIP JURANOVIC

7 Victim of a wicked deflection for the home side’s equaliser. Adds composure and quality.

NIR BITTON

7 Produced his best Celtic performanc­e in some time. Tidied up time and again before limping off.

CALLUM McGREGOR 7 Another impeccable performanc­e. Presence of Bitton offered scope to link defence to attack.

LIEL ABADA

7 Pinched possession for Kyogo’s opener. Brilliant striker’s finish for the third goal.

DAVID TURNBULL 7 Blazed a great first-half chance over the bar. Won back possession for team’s superb third goal.

KYOGO FURUHASHI 8 Marked his new blond hair do with a composed finish early on. Glorious pass for third goal.

JOTA

7 Outstandin­g strike from the Portuguese winger curled inside the near post for 2-1. SUBSTITUTE­S Giokoumaki­s (for Furuhashi 69), Johnston (for Jota 70), Forrest (for Abada 70), McCarthy (for Bitton 78), Scales (for Welsh 89). Not used: Bain, Oluwayemi,, Soro, Urhoghide, Shaw, Murray, Montgomery. ANGE POSTECOGLO­U 7 Right to recall Furuhashi and his side dominated at times, but they have to stay tighter at the back.

FERENCVARO­S

(4-2-3-1): Bogdan 5; Somalia 5, Blazic 4, S Mmaee n, Civic 4 (Cabraja 73); Laidouni 5, Vecsei 5 (Loncar 73); Nguen 4 (R Mmaee 67), Zachariass­en 4 (Mak 67), Zubkov 5 (Szantho 81); Uzuni 7.

REF FABIO VERISSIMO 7 No major errors and a pretty competent display from the Portuguese.
