SAINT BERNARDO – 4.5/10 – Not the impact we hoped for. It appeared for the opening spell that Paulo would add some quality dig in beside Calmac but positionally he began to wander; could have done with more discipline and a defined role for him. Once he’d drifted out of synch their midfield stepped in and stepped up and we lost a grip until the beginning of the second-half.
NYLON – 3/10 – Nope. Still not convinced this happy gaucho is any use beyond throttling SPL jobbers. Tends to float in and out of bigger games, and in the case of tonight, floating in was witnessed less than William Wilton’s full yacht.

LORD KATSUMOTO – 4/10 – Daizen’s not in this dimension any more. Like some Manga anti-hero, he detached from Celtic reality some time ago and now lives in limbo, awaiting the passing of the next three months until he can touchdown somewhere new and revive his enthusiasm. I don’t blame him. He’s done enough in his time here. The honour’s been ours, but he’s in need of a benching and his position up for grabs.

ITCHYCOO PARK – 6/10 – Right, a question for UEFA – does this man have a penis growing out of his left buttock?Because he doesn’t have a hand growing out of his flaming face, yet your AI-enhanced wackaday VAR seems to think he does. Not fully-fit but still has the centre’s instinct and finishing prowess. The goal was a striking classic. The nonsense around it, surreal.
Kelechi Iheanacho looked to have gotten Celtic back into the game… but VAR rules out his strike for handball ❌

TUTANKHAMUN – 6.5/10 MOTM – Just edges the man-most-likely-to, on a night of many why-are-they-even-wearing-The-Hoops impostors. Whenever he was on the ball the Mikey-J-with-a-bit-extra vibes abounded. Is he? Well, did provide the most swashbuckling of the night’s Celtic moments and was only denied by a great save from rescuing things. We didn’t go to him nearly as much as we would have benefitted from, so the ultimate verdict on him remains, currently, not proven.

Try giving comments about the game and players, without silly feckin names and smart arsed comments,your normally bang on with article but don’t need crap
Can you not read Charlie? It’s “ratings” he gives, not comments about the game. And they are definitive too.
Thanks for playing, Charlie.
Murray(22 not a kid) won’t make it – this was a characteristic goal-conceding mistake per game from him, e.g. A Villa last season, Queens Park when he didn’t play to whistle on touchline thinking ball had gone out of play.
Prodgers could not identify a talented player if Lubo gave him a two-footed kick up the ass. Watch McArdle(18) shine at Partick where his manager will pick him not consign him to the scrapheap for outperforming the entire 1st team at Pittodrie last season.
Criticise the MIBs and then give them 9/10 ???
