Celtic player ratings vs Fenerbahce: Forrest the star on a frustrating night

Follow us on Google Discover

The Hoops recorded their second successive Europa League draw earlier tonight.



Craig Gordon: 6/10

The Celtic stopper was generally a safe pair of hands and commanded his box well. Could do nothing to prevent either goal.

Mikael Lustig: 7/10

Another impressive European performance from the Swede. Won the header that set up Griffiths’ goal and was a composed presence throughout.

Dedryck Boyata: 5/10

Was guilty of being wasteful at times but an imposing figure overall. Let down by his central defensive partner.

Efe Ambrose: 3/10

Another night of calamitous defending to add to his seemingly endless collection. The Nigerian was at fault for both goals and his role in Fenerbahce’s first was truly shocking stuff.

Kieran Tierney: 6/10

A solid showing from the youngster making his European bow. Was limited, at times, as to what he could offer in an attacking sense but did combine neatly with Forrest on occasion. (Substituted for Tyler Blackett in the 82nd minute)

Nir Bitton: 7/10

The Israeli continues to impress with his dominant displays in central midfield. Was strong against the combative Turks and used the ball cleverly when in possession.

Scott Brown: 7/10

The Hoops skipper was the driving force behind most things positive for Celtic and despite a few lapses in concentration, was the leader Celtic needed to turn the tide after Fenerbahce’s equaliser.

Kris Commons: 7/10

Took his goal brilliantly and came close with another attempt in the second half. A player for the big occasion.

Stefan Johansen: 5/10

Relatively quiet night for the talented Norwegian. Worked hard but didn’t get much joy and sustained a heavy knock in the first half which could have played a part. (Substituted for Tom Rogic in the 82nd minute)

James Forrest: 8/10 MOTM

The diminutive winger was a livewire all night and was Celtic’s main attacking threat. His work-rate and pace is hard to live with and he made sure the end product was there too. (Substituted for Stuart Armstrong on the 90th minute)

Leigh Griffiths: 6/10

Had a tough task of it up against the powerful Bruno Alves and Simon Kjaer and was isolated at times, but was on the spot to put Celtic ahead.

Substitutes:

Tyler Blackett: 4/10

Was sloppy in the the ten minutes he was on and twice gave away possession in dangerous areas.

Tom Rogic: 6/10

Looked comfortable on the few occasions he got on the ball but didn’t have much time to impress.

Stuart Armstrong: N/A
