1. Joel Pereira - 4
Made an impressive double save to deny James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths early on but once again cost his side by parrying Odsonne Edouard's shot meekly into the path of Olivier Ntcham for the opener. Photo: SNS
2. Sean Clare - 5
Struggled to get into the game in the first half. Will have been disappointed at letting Edouard cut inside him to get shot away in lead-up to opener. Subbed at half-time. Photo: SNS
3. Ben Garuccio - 5
Had a tough test up against James Forrest. Skinned a couple of times but also made some crucial blocks, including a goal-line clearance. Always willing to get forward and had two decent attempts at goaL. Photo: SNS
4. John Souttar - 5
Defended strongly in the first half but unable to halt the Celtic surge after the break. Third goal went through his legs. Photo: SNS
