How the Celtic players rated in Europa League win over Lille
How the Celtic players rated after tonight’s Europa League closer with Lille at Celtic Park
Celtic ended an otherwise miserable Europa League campaign on a high note with a 3-2 victory over French side Lille as a much-changed home team impressed for under-fire boss Neil Lennon.
David Turnbull was the star of the show in his first European start, netting the winning goal but also notching an assist for Christopher Jullien’s opener and playing a role in winning the penalty for Callum McGregor to score.
The hosts were twice pegged back by Jonathan Ikoné and ex-Parkhead loanee Timo Weah but Turnbull’s late strike gave a morale-boosting win.

1. Scott Bain - 7
Made a good penalty save and another couple of fine stops. However, he also spilled an easy cross which could've cost Celtic. Couldn't do much about either goal. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
2. Jeremie Frimpong - 8
He must've ran several marathons in the space of 90 minutes the amount he was bombing up and down the wing all game. Produced an assist for the second. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
3. Kristoffer Ajer - 7
Looked assured in the back four before being forced off with injury early in the second half. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
4. Shane Duffy - 5
Though he was unlucky to be penalised for a penalty as the foul took place outside, it was still a needless challenge. Had another couple of dodgy moments. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
