Joe Hart – Gareth Southgate was in the stands for today’s match, presumably to watch Jack Butland. Whilst he was good on the day – as usual, admittedly – the England manager would have been impressed with the 75-capped Hart, whose save right on half-time kept the score at 2-0. Could do nothing with Tavernier’s penalty which was far out of reach. Did not deserve to be on a team that did not win on the day. A great performance from the veteran. 7

Alistair Johnston – This man knows what is required in a Glasgow Derby. That aggression and drive was given throughout by the Canadian, though he picked up an early booking which put him under pressure. Though Rangers’ penalty was contentious to say the very least, he stuck out a late leg which gave Fabio Silva the chance to go down. A tale of two halves for the right-back, though the same could be said for many of Celtic’s players on the day. 6

Cameron Carter-Vickers – The man-mountain himself, the American was an absolute colossus in the opening 45 minutes, as he put his body on the line for the cause. A standout from start to finish, you can see why Celtic miss their main man in defence when he is not around, which has been the case for large parts of this season. With tackles, interceptions and blocks aplenty, the USA stalwart was immense for Celtic, in an intimidating atmosphere for sure. Celtic’s best player. 9

Liam Scales – A shaky start to proceedings for the Irishman, who seemed to be nervous, unlike his defensive teammate Carter-Vickers. Still, he stabilised, and put in a couple of really important challenges to keep Rangers out in the first half. A solid enough second half, though he could do little with any of the goals that were scored by Rangers. Loses his 100 per cent record against his greatest rivals, though he maybe should have been on the winning team given the way the game transpired. 7

Greg Taylor – A quiet opening 45 for Taylor, who kept Scott Wright very quiet, forcing the winger to be taken off at half-time in favour of Abdallah Sima. A far more eventful second half for the Scotland international, who struggled to get to grips with Wright’s replacement. A so-so game for Taylor, who may need to be replaced in the summer for someone a bit stronger defensively, especially if Sima stays at Clement’s Rangers beyond the summer. 6

Tomoki Iwata – His first real experience of a Glasgow Derby, the opening half was a bit of a breeze for Iwata, who dealt with any danger that came his way. Thankfully, he was clipped by Tom Lawrence in the lead-up to Rangers’ disallowed equaliser, a correct decision from VAR to intervene. He tired towards the end, but he was a calm customer for much of the game for Celtic. Not a bad birthday for the 27-year-old, for sure. Probably his wildest, too! 6

Reo Hatate – One of the standouts in the first half, Hatate was key to everything good about Celtic in the opening 45 minutes. He really should have put the game out of Rangers’ reach, with his shot going just wide of the target. A brilliant performance was not matched after the restart, as Hatate was very quiet following the restart. That is to be expected, given his recent return from injury. Still, he showed his class in the first 45. 6

Matt O’Riley – The coolest man in Govan. Admittedly, O’Riley struggled to get into the flow of the game before his big moment from 12 yards out. He stepped up when it counted, though, and calmly tapped the ball past Butland, who was having an inspired game for the hosts. Was very quiet in the second half, though his contribution from the spot was massive. Celtic Park after the split will be massive for the midfielder. 7

Nicolas Kuhn – In his debut in this fixture, Kuhn took a little bit of time to get going in this one, though his impact was telling. He picked up a strange booking – John Beaton seemed to penalise him for Carter-Vickers’ fouls too – though his ball into the box for the penalty was massive. He was taken off in the second half, after not really contributing to the game apart from that cross in the opening 45. A disappointing afternoon from a player many were expecting to come alive today. 5

Kyogo Furuhashi – A menace throughout, Kyogo’s tireless running won’t be forgotten in a hurry. Despite not scoring in the first 45 minutes, his energy and press was causing Souttar and Goldson all sorts of problems in their own half. He hassled and continued to run, though he did not get much joy from a striker’s perspective, which was surprising. Idah had a bigger impact when he came on, admittedly. 6

Daizen Maeda – What a start from the winger, who has previous in this fixture! Following a direct kick out from Hart, the Japan international was on his bike, and stuck a leg out on James Tavernier’s attempted goal, with his touch making its way past Butland in the very first minute. An honest worker, he was hit and miss, though his work rate can never ever be questioned. Still, his second goal at Ibrox will be one that he will never forget. 7

Subs:

Callum McGregor – Not a great return for the captain, whose loose pass was intercepted by Rangers in the lead-up to their first equaliser. Looked rusty and not fully fit, and maybe he shouldn’t have taken to the field, in all honesty. Better days are ahead for the captain, for sure. 3

Yang Hyun-jun – A really poor cameo from the young winger, in an area which was arguably Celtic’s weakest this afternoon. Lazy for Rangers’ second equaliser, he needs to work on his defending, especially so soon after Celtic taking the lead once again. 2

Adam Idah – Should have had the winning goal on the day, which would have disappointed the striker massively. A great finish following good work by fellow sub Bernardo, he showed his calmness in front of the goal, which looked to be the decider. A good showing from the Irishman and gives Rodgers food for thought in the weeks to come. 6

Paulo Bernardo – Made a big single impact on proceedings, as he played the ball into Idah’s direction before the striker did the rest of the work. His only real contribution, it was a massive one, as he also showed calmness to put the ball into a good area. More to come from the Portugal U21 international. 5
