GORDON: One good second-half block from Morelos but other than that had very little to do as Celtic controlled the game. (6)
LUSTIG: First half effort off the bar and came close again in the second period with a glancing header that went just wide of the target. (6)
BOYATA: Dominated his area in the box when called upon. Appears to have put his troubled month behind me and looked focused and assured. (7)
AJER: Went down in Rangers box early on after being pulled by Nikola Katic but the took a clear kick off the ball from Allan McGregor for which the Gers keeper escaped without sanction. Played Morelos well. (7)
TIERNEY: Repeatedly got the best of James Tavernier. Operated in a wing-back role and linked well with McGregor at times. (7)
FORREST: One first-half effort on the half volley from the edge of the box which crashed off the crossbar before producing a lung bursting run to tee up Ntcham for the only goal of the game. (8)
ROGIC: The architect of the goal with a fine run from deep inside his own half. A fine display from the Australian who has traditionally excelled in this fixture. (8)
BROWN: Booked for a swipe at Lafferty. No contact made with the striker but with just 10 mins on clock it meant he had to be careful. Did not deter him from putting his usual stamp on the central pastures. (8)
NTCHAM: Got the opening goal and could have had another earlier in the game when he drew a fine save from McGregor with a rasping effort from the edge of the box. Outstanding contribution. (8)
MCGREGOR: Terrific dinking pass to the back post for Edourad after combing well with Tierney which should have led to the opening goal of the game. Other than that was a nuisance for Rangers and worked his socks off. (8)
EDOUARD: Booked for a foul on Jack after losing control of the ball. Should have scored with a header five minutes before the break but his effort was straight at McGregor. Atoned somewhat as he helped set up Ntcham for the opener. (7)
GRIFFITHS: Arrived with 25 minutes to go as he replaced Edourad and came close when he clipped the outside of the post with a low effort and then drew block from McGregor with a free-kick from edge of the box. (6)
CHRISTIE: On for Rogic for the final 15 minutes and then won a free-kick right on the edge of the box as he looked to break through Rangers defence. Looked bright. (5)
SINCLAIR: Took over from Forrest in the final minutes as Celtic ran the clock down. (3)
