How the Celtic players rated in Sunday's bounce-back victory over Motherwell
Ratings out of ten for every Celtic player from Sunday’s Scottish Premiership clash with Motherwell.
The Scottish champions managed to shake off the embarrassment of Thursday night to defeat their Fir Park hosts by four goals to one.
Mohamed Elyounoussi, vilified for checking his mobile phone while the clash with Sparta Prague was still going on, answered his critics with a hat-trick before Olivier Ntcham netted after coming off the bench.
Declan Gallagher had given hope for the hosts in the second period, heading home from Liam Polworth’s cross to briefly make it 2-1.
Player ratings scale - 10: One of best performances you've seen. 9: Outstanding. 8: Very good. 7: Good. 6: Average. 5: Poor, 4: Very poor. 3: Terrible day at office. 2: Abysmal. 1: One of worst performances you've seen.
5. CB - Nir Bitton - 5
Good with the ball at his feet though he was beaten in the air far too often, including for Motherwell's goal.

6. DM - Scott Brown - 8
Back to his best, the Celtic captain was commanding in the middle of the park and kept things ticking for his side.

7. MR - Ryan Christie - 7
A little wasteful from set pieces but put in a really strong shift otherwise.

8. MC - Callum McGregor - 7
Better from the midfielder playing a little higher forward where his pressing qualities helped the champions.
