    Best game by far. Some of the reaction saves were top class.

    Looks a good addition.

    Good reflexes, handling and very good distribution in-particular.

    Most work our keepers had to do in a domestic game since the Cup final against the huns last season. Done well to keep a clean sheet.

    He was absolutely immense today.

    That was the first proper chance today we had to see what he is capable off in a Celtic shirt. Hasn’t had much to do in his other games but today he was tested on a number of occasions and dealt with absolutely everything thrown at him.

    Had some incredible reaction saves. The one from Stewart’s header in the first half stands out for me but it wasn’t the only one. The one where it was cut across to Stewart near the 6 yard box looked like a certain goal as well. Too many great saves to mention.

    That performance would have gave him so much confidence. Hope the midfield can sort themselves out as soon as possible to take the pressure off the defence and Barkas.

    Some brilliant saves today, so that will be great for him and the players in front of him.

    So hard to judge a keeper when he has so few shots to face, so I don't understand a lot of the criticism he's had.

    Super performance, looks as if he may be a bit of a nutcase as most good goalkeepers are.

    You called it mate .

    Not saying after today he is now world class, but hopefully the snowdrappers soiling their American tan tights for no reason * calm down.

    The lad is a good keeper.

    Thought he flapped at a few balls in the air and needs to tell the defence when they're not doing their jobs. Needs to be more aggressive and assertive with our own players and the opposition.

    Great reflexes and had to bail us out a few times. Probably the best keeper with the ball at his feet that I can remember. Plenty of positives from yesterday.

    Overall, he should be really pleased with his performance. He's nowhere near his peak and we have an outstanding goalkeeper coach so I have no doubt he'll be great for us.

    Edit: that slip! * me. If a player slips on the pitch, you * them (even though it probably isn't their fault) but chances are there's someone behind them that could mop up. Keepers don't have that luxury. I thought he dealt with that slip brilliantly. It could've easily been a goal.

    A bit crazy to think, we won 5-0 and yet our keeper had to make numerous great saves and some are (rightly) debating a MOTM performance.

    In what world in Scottish football does Celtic win a game by 5 clear goals and yet their keeper still had a great game?

    This is why I like teams like Ross County, they want to at least play football.

    Great save but thought she’d was terrible for this. Turns to watch his Man head the ball instead of challenging/heading it out
