Craig Gordon: Didn’t have a lot to do for long spells which made his three saves, all prevented goals, impressive in that they showed the strength of his concentration. 7
Jack Hendry: Took a boot to the face and had a difficult night. He did a lot right but he switched off at a crucial moment which should have led to an Alashkert goal. He is still learning. Had a hand, or head, in the second goal. 6
Kristoffer Ajer: Was given a lot trouble but kept going and played some nice passes. He was asked to play in the middle and it was a test for him. 6

Jozo Simunovic: One mistake could have led to a goal, but it was his surge forward which helped set-up his side’s crucial opener. He does not look comfortable on the left and side of a three. 6
James Forrest: As he always does, he kept the ball and retained possession, which was his orders. Another really good show from the winger and he thoroughly deserved his goal. 8
Scott Brown: Superb. There was one moment in the first half when Alashkert had a three-on-one and it was the captain who read the situation and won his tackle. Is he getting better? 8
Olivier Ntcham: He can find things too easy at times, which lets him down. The Frenchman is a talent but he was too lackadaisical and his delivery from set-pieces were poor. 6
Callum McGregor: Nice little touches here and there. He took a few dunts and still kept going. His goal which came at the end of a clever run was so typical of this fine footballer. 7
Kieran Tierney: Looked fit and fast, he toed down the left, and his attitude as it always is was spot-on. Some good crosses as well. Seems suited to the left side of a midfield five. 7
Odsonne Edouard: Took his goal really well and linked up with Dembele. There is so much more to come from this 20-year-old who enjoyed some lovely moments. 7

Moussa Dembele: He came close to scoring twice, put in a real shift and looks leaner compared to last season. The Frenchman got himself involved in a lot. It was good to see. 7
Substitutes
Scott Sinclair: Played a part in the goal and, again, looked back to his old self. 6
Eboue Kouassi: Helped to see out the win. Made some nice passes in his cameo. 6
Lewis Morgan: His corner set up the second goal. A nice way to make his Celtic debut. 6
