PLAYER RATINGS

- BY JOHN McGARRY

VASILIS BARKAS 5

Greek had no chance as Siger struck from edge of the box. Beaten at near post for the second

HATEM ABD ELHAMED 4

Struggled badly. Booked early on and unable to commit to a tackle as Nguen struck

CHRISTOPHE­R JULLIEN 4

Never looked comfortabl­e when strikers pressed him. Too easily dragged out of position

KRISTOFFER AJER 4

Toiled against the awkward figure of Nguen. Poor distributi­on proved costly

GREG TAYLOR 6

Fizzed some tantalisin­g crosses in from left. By far the best of the Celtic defenders on the night

SCOTT BROWN 5

Skipper struggled with the furious tempo opponents set. Booked. Unable to inspire his side

OLIVIER NTCHAM 5

Didn’t find his usual range of passing throughout. Hammered crossbar from close range

JAMES FORREST 5

Failed to beat his man often enough and didn’t cross with sufficient accuracy.

CALLUM McGREGOR 5

Didn’t exert usual control on proceeding­s initially, grew into the contest only to fade out of view

MO ELYOUNOUSS­I 5

Most creative outlet had four openings in first half yet took none of them. Wilted late on

RYAN CHRISTIE 6

Asked to fill Edouard’s boots, missed half chances before coming up trumps with a deflected strike

SUBSTITUTE­S

Frimpong (Abd Elhamed 78), Ajeti (Forrest 78). Not used: Bain, Harper, Soro, Bitton, Klimala.

NEIL LENNON 5

Picked arguably best side available to him but they started slowly and failed to deliver when in control

FERENCVARO­S

(3-4-3): Dibusz; Botka, Kovacevic, Blazic; Civic, Siger, Kharatin, Somalia; Isael (Boli 71) Nguen (Skvarka 79) Uzuni (Laidouni 87).

Subs not used: Bogdan, Heister, Dvali, Varga.

REFEREE

ALLART LINDHOUT (Ned) 5

European debut for the Dutch whistler and it showed. Seemed to book Scott Brown because the bench shouted loudly
