Celtic player ratings: David Turnbull and Stephen Welsh shine but Diego Laxalt blunders vs Hibs

Laxalt #Laxalt

Here are Celtic’s player ratings after the 1-1 draw with Hibs as Kevin Nisbet scores a stoppage-time equaliser to cancel out David Turnbull’s stunning free kick.

Celtic player ratings

Hazard – Was putting in a solid performance until the equaliser as he flapped at Hibs’ cross. 6

Frimpong – Quiet game for the full-back and rarely threatened going forward. 5

Duffy – One of his better games for Celtic considering it was a makeshift back four. Failed to clear the danger, however, as Hibs rescued a point. 6

Welsh – An assured performance dealing with Nisbet and Doidge, heading everything in sight. Celtic fans will want to see more of him the rest of the season. 7

Laxalt – Gave away the free kick that Hibs scored from and didn’t look convincing in dealing with it either. Didn’t look like a £7million player on that showing. 4

Soro – Put himself about and continues to cement his place in the Celtic midfield ahead of Scott Brown. 6

McGregor – Influential in the first half, but faded after the break. 5

Turnbull – Touch of class as he scored a sublime free kick that almost secured the three points for his side. One of the few positives for Celtic right now. 7

Rogic – Some nice touches here and there, but sloppy on the ball for the most part. 5

Johnston – Hibs dealt with the tricky winger well and he was kept quiet for the most part. 5

Harper – Lead the line with the absent Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths. Lots of energy, but didn’t have the end product to match. 5
