Celtic player ratings as Greg Taylor exposed and Callum McGregor flops in Dortmund Champions League demolition
Celtic suffered a Borussia battering as Brendan Rodgers saw his side demolished in Dortmund on a night of Champions League misery in Dortmund.
The Bundesliga side turned on their style as the Hoops suffered their first defeat of the season and were brought crashing back down to earth after their flying domestic start.
It was a chastening experience for Rodgers and his men who just couldn’t live with last season’s beaten finalists in the competition. Karim Adeyemi hit a hat-trick with Emre Can opening the scoring from the spot early on. Serhou Guirassy also tucked away penalty and added a second after the break with Felix Nmecha also on target. Record Sport rates the players.
Kasper Schmeichel: Hauled down Jamie Gittens for the spot kick that led to the home side’s quickfire opener. Little chance with the second but could have done better with third. 4
Alistair Johnston: At a time when Celtic were trying to stop the bleeding it was the Canadian who cheaply gave possession away for Dortmund to score their sixth. 4
Auston Trusty: Huge shoes to fill as the American stepped in for USA team-mate Cameron Carter-Vickers and beaten for pace by Karim Adeyemi at Dortmund’s second. 4
Liam Scales: Made a couple of crucial first half interventions when the defence was under the cosh before the roof well and truly caved in and he was turned inside out for the sixth. 4
Greg Taylor: The left back often has the finger pointed at him at this level and it’s a position many believe an upgrade is require to really compete in the Champions League. Exposed here and hooked at half time. 3
Arne Engels: Belgian delivered an outstanding cross for Daizen Maeda to score early equaliser but conceded spot kick with foul on Karim Adeyemi for Dortmund’s fourth. 4
Callum McGregor
