CRAIG GORDON: Made early save from Edinson Cavani shot and then his next three major actions were to pick the back out of his net. 5
TONY RALSTON: Not a night the 18 year-old will forget in a hurry, coming up in direct opposition to Neymar. Lost him at the first two goals but stuck to his task. 5
MIKAEL LUSTIG: Drafted in again to central defence to cover for injuries and must have been wishing Dedryck Boyata or Erik Sviatchenko had been fit instead. Unfortunate own goal for PSG’s fourth. 4
JOZO SIMUNOVIC: The defender had Cavani for company for most of the night. Booked after conceding a penalty for a foul that the Uruguayan then stroked home for PSG’s third. 5
KIERAN TIERNEY: Tried his best to keep an eye on Mbappe on the left side of the Celtic defence, a task akin to pinning custard to a wall. 5
SCOTT BROWN: Provided some moments of composure in the midst of the maelstrom and tried to keep the ball moving whenever Celtic were in possession. 6
OLIVIER NTCHAM: Boyhood PSG fan had Celtic’s first chance, a shot dragged well wide of goal. Tried gamely thereafter. 5
PATRICK ROBERTS: Tried to drive the team forward but ended up having to do a lot of defensive work instead. Wriggled into decent positions once or twice but final ball often wanting. 6
STUART ARMSTRONG: Another who tried to link the play to get Celtic up the park but too often PSG would close in and deny him space. Replaced at half-time. 4
SCOTT SINCLAIR: Squeezed through late in the first half for a shot that Alphonse Areola pushed over while another couple of runs in second half almost yielded something. 6
LEIGH GRIFFITHS: Recovered from injury to take his place up front and only a terrific save from Areola denied him a first-half equaliser from a free kick. 6
Subs:
TOM ROGIC (for Armstrong 46): Sent on to try add greater creativity. 4
ODSONNE EDOUARD (for Griffiths 68): On to face his parent club. 3
JAMES FORREST (for Roberts 77): Late run-out for the winger. N/a
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
