RATINGS CELTIC

-

VASILIS BARKAS

Stayed on his line for Livi opener and well beaten by Brown’s header. Couldn’t get near low finish for hosts’ second either as wait goes on to see keeper make a meaningful save.

KRISTOFFER AJER

Lost Brown under the ball as home side took the lead, but was such a threat going the other way. Should have scored right on half-time, but denied by McCrorie.

NIR BITTON

7 Was offside as he stroked home Celtic’s second, but he wasn’t to know, and produced a composed finish for his first goal in four years.

SHANE DUFFY

Can’t seem to catch a break. Silly foul on Hamilton gave Livi the chance to put a ball into the area, and failed to deal with delivery as Brown headed home. Steadied somewhat afterwards at least.

GREG TAYLOR

6 Got forward when he could and defended well too. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but quietly effective.

ISMAILA SORO

6 Provided the insurance policy for his teammates and made some timely interventi­ons before tiring.

CALLUM MCGREGOR

Terrific disguised pass put Bitton in for Celtic’s second, and looks to be edging back towards his best form.

RYAN CHRISTIE

5 Worked hard to get on the ball, but wasn’t strong enough as he lost a 50/50 that led to Livi’s equaliser.

DAVID TURNBULL

6 Classy pass to put Ajer in and showed some lovely touches at times, but wasn’t the influence he has been of late.

MOI ELYOUNOUSS­I

8 Great movement and wonderful finish to drag Celtic back level and was a constant threat all night with his ingenuity. Such a threat when he is in this mood.

LEIGH GRIFFITHS

Wicked corner delivery for Elyounouss­i’s leveller and flashed a couple of efforts just past. Took a knock and replaced with 20 minutes to go.

PATRYK KLIMALA 4 Got last 20 minutes, but couldn’t influence proceeding­s.

SCOTT BROWN 1 Captain came on and was promptly sent off after five minutes for an elbow on Kabia. Should know better, but seemingly doesn’t. JEREMIE FRIMPONG 3 Couldn’t see enough of the ball. MIKEY JOHNSTON 3 On to provide a spark late on, but nothing doing.
