COMMENT By Harvey Byrne

Football Insider rates the Celtic players in their 4-1 win against Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership on Friday night.

Craig Gordon 4 - The goalkeeper was barely tested, but he was beaten twice and was fortunate that the second goal was ruled offside.

Emilio Izaguirre 7 - Spent most of the match in Partick's half and made some good forward runs, delivering a good cross for the fourth goal.

Mikael Lustig 6 - Done a solid job against a weak forward line.

Erik Sviatchenko 6 - Similar performance to that of Lustig, in that he did his job when required.

Cristian Gamboa 5 - The full-back was okay in defence, but lost his man in the set-piece for the goal against his team.

Scott Brown 6 - Gave a solid display in the defensive midfield position, but he was fortunate to escape a booking in the first half.

Gary Mackay-Steven 7 - The winger made some good forward runs and provided Ziggy Gordon with a headache before coming off on the hour mark.

Stuart Armstrong 8 - Armstrong found himself in the right position for the first goal before powering home a stunning effort for the second.

Tomas Rogic 7 - Caused some problems to the Partick defence before receiving a kick from a defender which saw him brought off on the 59th minute.

Patrick Roberts 6 - The on loan star was fairly quiet across the 90 minutes and struggled make much of an impact

Leigh Griffiths 9 - The 26-year-old was handed an opportunity for the game and he took it with both hands. He assisted both of Armstrong's goals and fully deserved his with a sweet curling strike.
