YING – 6.5/10 – Yelp! Yelp! ‘Whit’s that snappy wee dug all aboot?!’ moaned their midfield. In German. Probably. Ying can put himself around! No fear, in about them, tackle, twist and tussle. Halfway round the globe to give it his all in a Celtic jersey; much like Oh. Fair play, kiddo. He’s growing on me.

DUNCAN IDAHO – 6/10 – Added hustle and muscle? Still a bit timid when it came to those indomitable opponents for my liking; then again, I’d have my players wired into them a la Sunday League ruck-about stramash every game if I could. So maybe not judge him too harshly on that…He was still holding play quite well and dropping
in deep to fortify the fort. Shame that his brawn and buzz wasn’t given the extra half hour to propel us to glory.
