It is great to see the Norwegian back on the pitch. Celtic have played their best football this seem with him on the left-wing. It was only after he got injured that the club went through a dip in form which saw them eek out victories and put in consecutive disappointing performances against Rangers.

He was not at his peak as expected but was still able to float past the Clyde defenders at will. Should have bagged a goal, that will come with match sharpness though.

FLOP: Ryan Christie

Another man who has not played a lot of football in the last few weeks. A ban/surgery kept the Scot playmaker out of the team after the winter break. That saw the team transition into a 3-5-2 formation though and they have done quite well since then.

With both Edouard and Griffiths in top form, Christie might be looking at some time out of the first-team picture if he does not impress in matches like these. That was certainly not the case here as he put in a performance that can only be defined as rusty.
