GREAT – 6/10 – Well the kid got to be the only Dane on the park tonight and suffered the classic Celtic centre-back hazard of attempting to stay awake while we hemmed them in. But despite one casual lapse, he recovered to assert himself well, crowning the finest week of his young life with a beautifully timed leap and nod to guide in a header.

CALMAC – 6.5/10 – ‘What you doin’ still on the turf?’ asked Mr.Common Sense at the final whistle. Our most vital component in the next fortnight shouldn’t have been anywhere near a ridiculous random injury after the third went in. Before that, he’d governed the match with quiet mastery and tied up the midfield in green and white ribbons. Phew, he’s okay…

THE TERMINATOR – 7.5/10 MOTM – Well, the Tik-Tok Ancelottis might not think the bhoy’s up to his fee but there are moments in football where real quality shines through. Like Arne’s dexterity with his heid two yards out… Eh, naw. The wonderful Kris Boyd impersonation was a lowlight of his overall performance which was a showcase of his finest attributes. Boy, can that bhoy deliver a dead ball. Glorious corners and a free-kick that pinged the inside of Baney’s post from an angle tighter than the Celtic Board.
HIGHLAND TOFFEE -6/10 – What a chance for Luke to get a proper Luke, but despite his flashes of guile and effort the rub of the green just wasn’t on for Young Jobson this evening. He’ll look at it as an opportunity missed to stake a claim for a start.
I thought we moved then all quickly passing still off but improving park the bus teams are hard to pass through engels some great deliveries settled tonight not forcing it unlucky not to score but good rehearsal for Wednesday night need to tighten defensive side up
