VfB Stuttgart 0-1 Celtic – Time for some Definitive Ratings

YING – 6/10 – A battler, he is. Mostly on the back foot tonight. No shortage of skill in the feet but that competitive edge IS his edge – unusual to find a winger so willing to dig deep when required. But kudos to the Korean Jamesy for his willingness to get involved in the dirty stuff; Korean Jamesy right enough…

YOUNG ADAMSKI – 6/10 – I like his attitude. Tough ask going Han Solo against such a disciplined, accomplished defence but he roved and rattled and did what he could – lovely assist for our goal. Only complaints would be his inability to hold up the ball, or that he laid it off carelessly too often. But…That could be a straightforward lack of match-sharpness rather than basic clumsy touch. Jury remains in the pub. Or at least we did when I did jury duty; Was he guilty? Don’t know. Was it a fair trial? Don’t know. What was it about anyway? Don’t remember. Was steamin’ on freebie expenses…

LORD KATSUMOTO – 6.5/10 – Heid dyed like an Anime comic villain, we nearly got peak Euro-Daizen, as his dynamism narrowly failed on a few occasion to bear fruit. Is he revving-up (quite literally) for a devastatingly powerful finish to the season and his time at the club? He looked a lot more engaged, willing and able tonight. Let’s hope it’s the beginning of a glorious end.
