Baur Gets 6.5, Tounekti With 4.5 | Celtic Players Rated In Their Dreadful Defeat Against Rangers

Baur Gets 6.5, Tounekti With 4.5 | Celtic Players Rated In Their Dreadful Defeat Against Rangers Celtic are flying high in domestic competitions, winning all their games before travelling across town to clash with Old Firm rivals Rangers in the League Cup quarter-final. With no allocation for away supporters, a full-house Ibrox faithful made the ambience hostile for Martin O’Neill’s men, who crumbled under pressure and suffered a shocking 3-0 defeat this afternoon. Below are the Celtic players rated in their 3-0 defeat against Rangers. Sam Johnstone: 5.5 Got the nod over Viljami Sinisalo after a strong midweek debut against St Johnstone. However, the Wolves loanee had a nightmare between the sticks, even though he could have done little to stop all three goals and rather saved them from further humiliation with several stops. Colby Donovan: 5 Had a tough time against Djeidi Gassama, who kept on drawing fouls down the wide. Offered little going forward, as he could not help the attackers with crosses, cut-ins and passes into the final third. Cameron Carter-Vickers: 5 Was outplayed by Ryan Naderi in the build-up to Neil’s goal. The USMNT centre-back looked lethargic in his attempt to track back, thus leaving enough space for Kevin Kelsy, who set it up for the English midfielder. Lost the header against Naderi, which led to Kelsy’s goal around the hour mark. Liam Scales: 5.5 Got the nod over Auston Trusty in the heart of the backline. But the Irishman could have done better for the second goal, as he could not judge the flight of James Penrice’s cross and almost clattered with Carter-Vickers, leaving the Venezuelan unmarked. Kieran Tierney: 6 Returned to the starting XI after a brief injury layoff. Tried to balance his game between attack and defence. But the flair of Rangers’ attack prevented him from making a difference before making way for Jordan Lotomba late in the game. Callum McGregor: 5.5 A lacklustre performance from the skipper, who was outrun completely by the Light Blues’ midfielders. Was clumsy with his tackles and challenges in the centre of the pitch. Mika Baur: 6.5 Was combative in midfield. The young German playmaker engaged in duels and also tried to carry the ball forward from deep to operate in advanced areas.

The gaffer put Penrice on marking duty, switching to an unconventional ‘back three’ for the majority of the match. The Swedish ace was taken off for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just over the hour mark. Camilo Duran: 5.5 Started as a wide attacker to incorporate Hogh high up the pitch. Was well-contained by Olwethu Makhanya, even after shifting to the ‘number 9’ role following Hogh’s exit. Was taken off for Shumaira Mheuka late in the outing. Sebastian Tounekti: 4.5 Was handed a start due to Yang Hyun-Jun’s absence for international duties. But the Tunisian was largely disappointing, making little contribution before being replaced by Haissem Hassan at half-time. Kasper Hogh: 5 A shocking display from the Danish hitman while spearheading the attack. Failed to create anything up top and was taken off midway through the second half for James Forrest.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: 5.5 Tried to calm things down when Dan Neil and Nicolas Raskin were pulling the strings in midfield. James Forrest: 5 Made no significant contribution since replacing Hogh. Shumaira Mheuka: 5.5 Had a couple of efforts blocked late in the game.
