ZALUSKA (5) Left exposed for Motherwell's opener.

Had little else to do after that.

IZAGUIRRE (5) Got forward frequently as Celtic pushed first for a leveller then a winner. Deliveries caused problems in the box despite failing to lead to a goal.

AMBROSE (4) Usual erratic display from the Nigerian at right-back. Struggled to get the better of Zaine Francis-Angol and continues to look uncomfortable out wide.

VAN DIJK (6) Was denied a sure goal from a header at the back post in the first half before Twardzik again foiled him at the death. Spent more time in attack.

BITTON (4) Dilly-dallied on the ball when situations demanded more decisiveness in the face of a disciplined defence. Yet to prove himself in a Celtic shirt.

GUIDETTI (4) Worked hard but was unable to impose himself on the game while not looking fully match fit. Subbed off after 75 minutes. Hopefully more to come from the on-loan Swede.

STOKES (5) The Irishman was often forced to drop deep to find space as Motherwell absorbed pressure. Should have done better with two chances late on as Motherwell began to tire.

DENAYER (5) Tested Twardzik early on from range in a familiar foray up front. Rarely had much to defend against. Will have busier afternoons.

TONEV (3) Ineffectual. Hooked at half-time for eventual scorer Kris Commons.

KAYAL (4) Saw a lot of the ball in first half but failed to do much with it. One shot by the post the best the Israeli could muster. Off at the break for Scott Brown.

McGREGOR (6) One of the most pro-active players in the Celtic squad, however an end product wasn't forthcoming against a resolute Motherwell back-five. Second-half bending shot palmed away by Twardzik.

BROWN (6) On at half-time. Was far more direct than Kayal and it was this drive which saw him brought down in the box for Celtic's penalty. Should have started.

COMMONS (6) Called upon at the break to bring some creativity to the Celtic attack. While not his finest showing, displayed a cool head to bury his penalty.

SCEPOVIC (2) On for Guidetti with 15 minutes to play. Little time to make an impact.

UNUSED SUBS: Gordon, Berget, O'Connell, Henderson.
