Celtic player ratings as Reo Hatate brilliance is bludgeoned by Leipzig lashings

There were chances aplenty for Celtic, but they couldn't take them in order to keep their Champions League dreams alive.

Ange Postecoglou' s side needed a result against RB Leipzig to retain any hope of making it out of Group F and into the knock-out stages. They will be wondering how they didn't go in ahead at the break after hitting the woodwork twice. Matt O'Riley saw his effort come back off the near post before Greg Taylor stretched to try and turn the rebound on, only to see his header hit the crossbar.

Without resorting to stereotype, it was the German's who proved efficiently clinical on the night, taking their two big second half opportunities with aplomb. Timo Werner's timing and accuracy was on point as the former Chelsea man arrived in the box to guide home a clever header to put the Bundesliga side in front with 15 minutes left. And Emil Forsberg proved just as deadly, slamming into the top corner to put any hopes of qualification beyond the Hoops.

Here's how the hosts rated out of 10, a perfect or otherwise.

JOE HART: Well protected by the men in front of him until late in first half when he was forced to make a vital stop with his right leg to deny Nkunku. No chance with the goals - 7

JOSIP JURANOVIC: Looked great going forward but had his hands full defensively when left back Raum ran at him with real conviction - 6

CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS: His block on Werner inside the packed Celtic box after 15 minutes emphasised the importance his reading of the game and composure were to his team but eventually swamped - 7

MORTIZ JENZ: Formed a solid barrier with Carter-Vickers and produced one great block to deny Werner after he’d skinned his partner but couldn’t prevent the goals in the last 15 minutes - 7
