ST JOHNSTONE PLAYER RATINGS
ZANDER CLARK 6
Nothing he could do about the goals. Other than that, not tested.
SCOTT TANSER 7
Had a man marking job on Jeremie Frimpong. Great performance.
JASON KERR 7
Assured display at the back and will be disappointed to lose his clean sheet.
JAMIE McCART 6
Poor distribution from the centre back, but he defended well throughout.
LIAM GORDON 6
Another who performed well at the back, but ultimately not good enough to gain any points.
DANNY McNAMARA 6
Defended well and got forward as much as he could.
MURRAY DAVIDSON 7
Typical Murray Davidson performance in the middle of the park. A great battler.
ALI McCANN 6
Brought loads of energy to the Saints midfield and was composed on the ball.
CRAIG CONWAY 5
Got forward well down the right flank but missed a huge opportunity at the start of the second half.
DAVID WOTHERSPOON 8
Confident and tricky on the ball. Caused Elhamed problems down the left flank.
STEVIE MAY 6
Led the line well for Saints. Kept Kris Ajer and Shane Duffy busy and did fair bit of tracking.
SUBSTITUTES
MICHAEL O’HALLORAN (for Wotherspoon, 66) 3
Never got involved after coming off the bench.
CALLUM HENDRY (for Kerr, 91) 2
On too late to make an impact.
CELTIC PLAYER RATINGS
VASILIS BARKAS 6
Not really tested in the Hoops goal but collected several crosses well.
GREG TAYLOR 5
Got forward on numerous occasions, but his final ball was poor.
SHANE DUFFY 6
Assured performance at the back and was a nuisance in the Saints penalty area at set pieces.
DAVID TURNBULL 5
Really struggled to get on the ball in the middle of the park. Will have better games for the Hoops.
OLIVIER NTCHAM 4
Very passive in midfield. Always looked sideways instead of forward.
MOHAMED ELYOUNOUSSI 5
Couple of penetrative runs forward, but wasn’t his usual attacking threat.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 5
Was kept quiet due to a top man marking job by Scott Tanser.
KRISTOFFER AJER 6
Didn’t put a foot wrong, but could have stepped forward to put Celtic on the attack more.
CALLUM McGREGOR 6
Sprayed the ball about well, but found it difficult to get forward as much as he would have liked.
HATEM ELHAMED 5
Struggled in his defensive role. But great cross for Griffiths' goal.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 4
Quiet afternoon for the Frenchman. Never had a sniff at goal and struggled to link the play in the final third.
SUBSTITUTES
PATRYK KLIMALA (for Edouard, 58) 5
Great battling for his goal. Top notch finish too.
RYAN CHRISTIE (for Turnbull, 58) 4
Tried his best to make things work in the final third.
LEIGH GRIFFITHS (for Elyounoussi, 75) 5
Back with a bang. Great header for his first of the season.
TOM ROGIC (for Ntcham, 75) 3
Struggled to make an impact after being introduced from the bench.
SCOTT BROWN (for Taylor, 81) 3
Got his team fired up for a win when brought on in the dying stages.
