Celtic backed up their Glasgow Derby triumph in the week with an impressive 4-0 win over Motherwell on Sunday afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou’s side once again scored three times in the first 45 minutes, with Reo Hatate and Liel Abada picking up where they left off on Wednesday to combine for the opener.
The returning Tom Rogic netted a brace before the interval to put the result beyond doubt and Daizen Maeda scored in the second half, with the Hoops now four points clear of Rangers who play later this afternoon.
However, not every Celtic player had an afternoon to remember despite another three points. We’ve delved into the numbers from statistical experts SofaScore to analyse the Hoops’ three worst players to have featured for at least 45 minutes, who will perhaps now be looking over their shoulders regarding their place in the XI.
Giorgos Giakoumakis – 6.7/10
Giakoumakis was given another chance to lead the line but failed to get on the scoresheet once again. The summer signing lost 13 of his 21 duels both on the ground and in the air and gave possession away on 11 occasions.
The forward also committed five fouls, completed just eight passes and registered one shot all afternoon.
Nir Bitton – 6.8/10
Bitton returned to the matchday squad following his red card against Dundee United and came on for Hatate at the interval. However, he appeared to struggle in stages, losing possession five times.
The versatile midfielder also lost half of his ground duels in the second 45 minutes (3/6), made one foul and failed to register an interception.
James Forrest – 6.5/10
Forrest replaced Abada at half-time but also struggled to make an impact in the second half. The winger wasn’t as involved as he may have liked, having just 25 touches of the ball.
He missed a big chance to get on the scoresheet and also failed to make a key pass, giving up possession twice. He would’ve been hoping to give Postecoglou a selection headache, however, he may have to settle for a place on the bench against Aberdeen in the week.
