    He played a decent game, I thought. A lovely long ball into their box in the second half.

    Needs to bulk up a little and passing was a bit off at times but as said that'll come with minutes. Thought boy done well overall

    Few rough edges but he has the fundamentals, will be cracking player for us eventually.

    No negatives from me...tough ground to get a start at and had balik in front of him part of the game.
    A good step forward for him.

    Thought he done fine today and probably prefer him over Ralston. Deserves a run until Johnson is back

    Solid performance today in really difficult conditions and an atrocity of a pitch so he should take real confidence from that and probably starts again next week.

    Creates that penalty cos he's pressing high and then shows some composure in the box. Was a mirror of the chance late against Kairat that we should have scored from

    Solid game, which is all we need from a youngster breaking into the team

    It’s worth mentioning Colby Donovan as well, a young player who has come through the system at Celtic and to make his first start – that’s never easy playing with that pressure but he coped really well.

    “I’m really pleased for him because it’s a big thing for a young kid to come through here and I thought he did really well, especially in the second half when he settled in to the game.”

    That was a very solid performance from him. He's a lot more athletic than Ralston but hard to judge him defensively as Kilie don't play with wingers so he wasn't really exposed on 1 on 1s.

    I think with a run of games he will come on as he had a few nervy moments early on mainly in possession but the longer the game went on you could see him grow into the game and do well, especially at the penalty at the end, it is that sort of thing I would like to see more off as an attacking threat.

    He’s was ok. Unfair to judge on his first start on that pitch, but you could see his touch and passing was a level or two below most of our players. Showed endeavour and kept going though.

    Probably worth having Tierney in the squad for Colby alone.

    Really really like him. His attitude is levels. Front foot every time in both sides of the game.

    A Celtic player.

    He was decent but i think we can all see that we have our next big young talent on our books.

    Difficult pitch and guilty of trying too hard sometimes. Also working with new players which is difficult.

    But I like the look of him. Really good attitude.

    He has all the attributes to be a cracking player.
