Celtic ratings

JOE HART

An unlikely assist- provider for the opener in a largely quiet first half. Smart double stop from Fabio Silva but no chance of saving James Tavernier’s penalty. Could only watch for the other goals.

ALISTAIR JOHNSTON

In a real battle with Silva all afternoon but managed it fairly well. Booked for blocking his opponent in the first half, then unfortunate to concede a penalty as he looked to pull out of a challenge in the second.

CAMERON CARTER- VICKERS

Colossal – the foundation Celtic’s success is built upon. In cruise control in first half and stood up to the pressure in the second. Composed on the ball and willing to throw himself in front of it when required.

LIAM SCALES

Has his quality endlessly questioned but proved his resolve again at Ibrox. Was not overawed by the occasion and was more than up for a physical contest with Cyriel Dessers.

GREG TAYLOR

Largely neat and tidy, but far more emphasis on his defensive duties than going forward. Had the beating of Scott Wright but struggled at times when Abdallah Sima was on.

MATT O’RILEY

A classy footballer with a goal befitting of his style and poise. Showed character to dink the ball down the middle from penalty. Another who strolled it in the first 45 minutes but level dropped after the break. Booked.

TOMOKI IWATA

A strong presence. Did his job in anchoring the midfield, allowing his team- mates the freedom to go forward in the dominant first period. Influence reduced in the second half.

REO HATATE

The best player on the park. So, so important for Celtic as he pulled the strings. Quality and composure on the big stage, could have scored on another day. Celtic faded as a result of his substitution.

NICOLAS KUHN

Given the nod ahead of Yang Hyun- jun for his first taste of action against Rangers. Industrious on the wing, but real threat was carried on opposite flank. Booked.

KYOGO FURUHASHI

So often the goal hero against Rangers, he played a different role at Ibrox. The Japan forward spearheaded the Celtic press and was relentless in his quest. Linked play well enough when he dropped deep.

DAIZEN MAEDA

Fired his side into the lead after just 21 seconds in bizarre circumstances as he blocked Tavernier clearance. Lauded for his energy and pressing and showed his importance at Ibrox. Booked.
