Has enjoyed an extended run in the first-team since the return from the winter break. But with both Ryan Christie and Mohamed Elyounoussi now fit, he will have to step up his game even further if he wants to retain his place in the team.

Unfortunately, his performance against FC Copenhagen was just the opposite. He lost the ball on numerous occasions and it was from one of these lost possessions that the Danish side managed to equalise. Things just did not come off for the Frenchman on the night in a disappointing display.

HIT: Fraser Forster

Celtic’s saviour once again. The Hoops could have been easily heading back to Glasgow with a 2-1 loss after they gave away a late penalty to the hosts. But the Englishman on loan from Southampton came to the rescue once again, pulling off a brilliant save to keep the score 1-1. And that could very well prove to be the difference between advancement and elimination come the end of the tie.

Just one more reason for Celtic to try and sign him on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
