FLOP: Kristoffer Ajer

There is a world of difference between Kristoffer Ajer at the start of the season and the one that we have now. At the beginning of the season, he was the best player at the club, looking like an absolute leader who looked destined to be the best defender in all of Scotland.

Since then though he has faded away and looks like just another defender at the moment. He had another average performance against FC Copenhagen. Right now, it would be hard to find a Celtic fan who would not take the £25-million that Leicester City were reportedly ready to pay for him in the summer.

FLOP: James Forrest

The only word to describe his performance is ‘disappointing’. Should have scored in the first half when he let a golden opportunity go after failing to meet Elyounoussi’s cross. Was not able to effect the game as much as he would have liked.

Has been out of form for the past few months now, after starting the season like a ball of fire. He needs to pick up his form soon or his place in the starting XI will be under threat very soon.
