MAN BY MAN: CELTIC

-

FRASER FORSTER

7

No chance with the goals. Called into action to thwart Morelos in first half but not tested as much as he might have expected.

JEREMIE FRIMPONG

5

Normally a livewire down the right but he struggled to hurt Rangers and questions could be asked of his positionin­g at times.

CHRISTOPHE­R JULLIEN

6

Kept Morelos quiet and was a threat from set-pieces but gave away numerous fouls early on, allowing Rangers to get on top.

KRISTOFFER AJER

5

Easily beaten by Katic for the winner and although he tried to drive Celtic forward, generally had an afternoon to forget.

BOLI BOLINGOLI

6

Worked hard without doing an awful lot at both ends of the pitch. Had a shot tipped away by Rangers keeper Mcgregor.

SCOTT BROWN

6

The Celtic captain has dominated this fixture in the past but was overshadow­ed by Davis in the centre of the park.

CALLUM MCGREGOR

6

Only real moment of note came when his deflected effort flew past Mcgregor for the equaliser.

JAMES FORREST

5

Posted missing at times as Barisic kept him quiet and he failed to threaten. No surprise when he was hooked for Ntcham.

RYAN CHRISTIE

6

Looked lively in the opening exchanges but missed his spotkick and never really recovered from it.

MIKEY JOHNSTON

6

Plenty of energy but very little end product during a frustratin­g afternoon for the winger.

ODSONNE EDOUARD

6

Has been something of a bogeyman for Rangers in past meetings but although he put in the effort, nothing fell for him.

SUBS

Nir Bitton Came on forjohnsto­n. Used the ball well but unable to make it count. 5 Olivier Ntcham: Replaced Forrest but no influence on game. 5 Leigh Griffiths: Had chance with free-kick but fired over. 5
