    Man of the match.

    Goal, clean sheet, won a few good aerials and always looking for a forward pass.

    Jota will probably get it for his goal though.

    Unlucky not to get MoTM. Good start to the season for him.

    He defo had a good game. Importantly will know he has Jenz behind him now waiting for a slip up. Obviously Starfelt will come back in too.

    His passing is positive as *, something we miss at times.

    Excellent today. I trust Ange when he talks up his improvement, and today you could see it. Maybe he has a few more levels in him than some of us give him credit for.

    Thought he was excellent. Dominant defensively and really positive use of the ball.

    Fantastic confident performance from Welsh, early days but it looks like he's levelled up over the course of last season and pre season.

    His best performance for Celtic I’d guess. Really really good.

    I thought it was nonsense talk when some wanted him punted. I think he is more than capable of playing at a high level with us.

    I’ve probably been guilty of it too. But it’s so easy to overlook a young homegrown player in favour of signing someone from another club/league.

    Welsh has always been steady for us and deserves more credit. The fact we are receiving £3mil + bids and Ange is knocking them back pays testament to that.

    I thought he played well today. I felt he was left a wee bit isolated at times by the midfield making him play a couple of riskier passes than should have been needed and making runs as the forward pass wasn't on. But he dealt with it well and was solid for the majority of the game.

    Thought his goal was great. Bossed 3 if there players to get to that and was well controlled.
    Cruised it today. Hopefully this can be a proper breakout season for him

    His passing seems more positive than Starfelt's, although he also started being more positive towards the end of last season. Gets us on the front foot as he seems to be able to find the midfield who can then turn and go

    His passing is positive but so is Starfelt's..

    Infact I'd argue as the season went on for the last couple month's he played more incisive passes than Carter-Vickers..

    Thought CCV was very static today and basically passed pretty much any responsibility for moving the ball forward to Welsh. Which to be fair Welsh seemed to relish. Did unbalance us a bit though.
