Sandman’s Definitive Ratings – 4IAR Champions Celtic v Mobland

Showing 4 of 7

SUBS –

YING – 6/10 – Certainly helped to liven things up in an energetic but fruitless cameo; though caught the ‘final ball malaise’ from the rest.

SCHLUPPTHE ‘RA – N/A  –  A peculiar choice of replacement for Arne. Maybe in a meritocracy, young McArdle might have gotten another deserved chance…. If he’d even made the bench.

HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 5/10 – Look, Luke’s not really getting the look-in he deserved after Wednesday. Like others… And he couldn’t quite find the flow when he came in to salvage the game.

KENNY JOHNNY – 6.5/10 – The Riverstown Rapid shows us again why he’s a valid option – lightning burst of pace had him in where others had failed to captalise; only denied some final-day glory by good goalkeeping.
