    I always believe you should play your in form players. Janko has been MOTM two games in a row now, as long as he keeps playing well then there's no need to drop him - in the league anyway.

    I'd play Lustig. As I said, that's a game where we won't be as attacking as we would be normally. Then it's fine to drop Lustig after that because 2 games in 4 days might be a bit much for him.

    Got there in the end, we've seen before Johansen can't play that * role, even against Raith Rovers he was pish in the middle. Efe solid again good to see the big man doing well, full backs were excellent especially Tierney he won nearly every header, some leap on him for a wee guy. McGregor proving again he isn't a winger. Ciftci was excellent, great link up play and done some amount of running.

    A win is a win. Tricky matches sometimes these mid week cup games so delighted with the result.

    Tonight's post match press conference


    RD: It is always difficult to play these games & when you meet a team from a lower division, it’s always tough because they give everything.

    RD: I thought our players worked really hard for 90 minutes. We kept the pressure on all the time and could have scored more.

    RD: We kept another clean sheet which is very important. When it's 1-0 anything can happen, but I'm happy with the win and we deserved it.

    RD: We know Kris will always create chances and score goals and he did that tonight, and there is even more to come from him.

    RD on Man of the Match, Saidy Janko: I was very impressed with him. He’s so quick and strong and young, and he has a lot of potential.

    RD: Individually a lot of players did well & the attitude was good the whole match. We'll face whoever we get & we want to win the Cup again


    Kieran Tierney also spoke to the media following his strong display in tonight's win over @RaithRovers_FC

    KT: For me that was brilliant but the most important thing is we got the win and a clean sheet so I’m very happy.


    KT: It was my fourth game so there are still a bit of nerves but I try to settle and do my best and I thought I did alright.

    KT: This season I imagine I’ll be playing Under 20s football most weeks so I’ll try to do well in those games and impress the manager


    KT: If I’m in and about squads or even on the bench I'll try to get as many minutes on the first-team park as I can.


    KT: If I keep doing that then I can get my chance and hopefully if I can prove it there I can stay there.


    KT on his influences at Celtic: It’s hard to pick out a few because then I’d leave some out but you can’t look past Scott Brown.


    KT: He’s brilliant to everybody and when we play Under 20s games he’s a coach so he influences everything you do so it’s good.


    KT on Izaguirre: He’s brilliant. He gets up and down the park for the full 90 minutes and that’s what I’m trying to do too.

    KT: Any minutes I get I’ll be grateful for them all and I’ll just try to do my best when I get on.

    Blackett and Janko were the stand-outs for me, and Shifty's link-up play was nice. Rogic looks amazing every time he's near the ball. Jo needs a boot up the rear end, but then he is useless back there.

    Tierney, Ambrose, Brown and Commons all did good, too.

    Janko & Ciftci were our best players.

    GMS is showin improvement, some nice flicks and step overs.

    Not keen on macgregor, didn't like his passing against Dundee either and could have set Ciftci up more in both games.

    Is there any way of watching a full game that was on Celtic TV, for free?
