LORD KATSUMOTO – 6/10 – Talking of conundrums… Here’s a Japanese puzzle. A living Himistu-Bako, which is a box with intricate mechanisms you need to spring to open it; and the intricacy of what makes Daizen tick is known to very few. From scarcely-involved toiling winger to dynamic and tortuous centre-forward dragging lumbering Zombie oxen everywhere and anywhere they had the energy to gallop after him, wearing them out and shifting them around in the box so smartly that it created two goals and a point-blank save. Never write a man of Maeda’s character off.

YOUNG ADAMSKI – 3/10 – Nope. Bludgeoned a bit, hustled and clamped. Not the right fit for a first-half of atrocious Celtic play. But not much blame can be apportioned to him for a collective toil.

YING – 4/10 – Busy, just as he was Thursday, but less effective because he found himself chasing a lot of slaver-empire blue shirts to the detriment of his own attacking prowess; too knackered to make an impact when we were in the ascendancy.
