CELTIC PLAYER RATINGS
CONOR HAZARD 6
The young Northern Irishman kept Vasilis Barkas on the bench. Saved well from Kirk Broadfoot at 2-0.
GREG TAYLOR 7
Came in for Diego Laxalt at left back against his old club. Overlapped to good effect.
SHANE DUFFY 7
Much, much better. Made it 2-0 after getting on the end of a David Turnbull corner and heading powerfully home.
CHRISTOPHER JULLIEN 7
Forced a fine save from Danny Rogers in the ninth minute. Soldiered on after being fouled by Nicke Kabamba.
KRIS AJER 7
Could right back be the Norwegian’s best position? He can certainly get up the pitch. Did superbly to tee up Turnbull before half-time.
ISMAILA SORO 6
Preferred to club captain Scott Brown in central midfield after his Lille display. Justified his selection.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 7
Excellent. Odsonne Edouard should have done better after his skipper burrowed into the Kilmarnock area and crossed to him in the second-half.
MOHAMED ELYOUNOUSSI 7
Worked hard from start to finish. Did brilliantly to cut inside and unleash the low shot that put his side ahead.
DAVID TURNBULL 7
Composed on the ball, he set up Jullien and Odsonne Edouard with scoring chances and went close himself in the first-half. Supplied Duffy for the second with a corner.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 5
The winger was denied a goal by Rogers after making a powerful run upfield early in the second-half.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 4
Poor. Should have buried a Turnbull cut back in the first-half, headed a McGregor cross wide in the second.
Replacements
RYAN CHRISTIE (for Frimpong, 69) 3
Volleyed just wide.
PATRYK KLIMALA (for Edouard, 69) 3
Worked hard.
TOM ROGIC (for Turnbull, 81) 2
Saw out the win.
DIEGO LAXALT (for Taylor, 81) 2
Had little to do.
MIKEY JOHNSTON (for Elyounoussi, 86) 3
Returned to action after almost 11 months out. Looked sharp.
