  Sergey Pesyakov

  Could do little about Hooper's first goal and was not tested until he saved Forrest's shot only to see the rebound bounce off Kombarov and end up in the net.

  Juan Manuel Insaurralde Flop of the Match

  Correctly shown a red card when he clipped Hooper, having been beaten for pace. Struggled to deal with the lively striker all evening.

  Nicolás Pareja

  Had a difficult game but he was hung out to dry somewhat given that Celtic had so much space in which to counterattack.

  Evgeniy Makeev

  Didn't make much of an attacking impact and could do little to stop the combined efforts of Mulgrew, Commons and Samaras on the left.

  Rafael Carioca

  Kept possession neatly but the Spartak defence was frequently exposed on the counterattack.

  Aiden McGeady

  Demy de Zeeuw

  Did well to square the ball for Emenike to equalise but was often overrun by the Celtic counterattacks.

  Kim Källström

  The centre to Spartak's play in midfield, roaming laterally in central midfield to dictate their attacks but also showing an occasional ability to break into the box. Provided a superb pass from which Ari set up Emenike's opening goal.

  Dmitriy Kombarov

  Unlucky to score the own goal that drew Celtic level. Attacked with intent down the left but did not receive much service out wide.

  Ari

  His pace caused real problems to the Celtic defence. As early as the opening couple of minutes he had sped away from Ambrose and he got behind Wilson to set up Emenike's equaliser.

  Emenike

  Scored two of the easiest goals of his life, tapping into an empty net on two occasions after good work from his team-mates.

  Replaced Insaurralde at the back after the Argentine had been sent off but could not prevent Celtic from creating more chances against the 10 men.

  Artem Dzuba

  Replaced the quiet McGeady as Spartak looked to retake the lead but did not see so much of the ball due to Celtic's numerical advantage.

  A late replacement for Ari.

  Fraser Forster

  Really should have dealt more convincingly with an Ari shot that he parried straight to De Zeeuw, although the deflection on the ball did make it more difficult to claim.

  E. Izaguirre

  Reliable at left-back and also supported the attack with some timely tackles and passes forwards before supplying an excellent cross for the winning goal.

  E. Ambrose

  Slow to react to balls that landed behind him, with the likes of Ari and Emenike able to use their pace to get into the penalty area to overturn Celtic's early lead.

  Kelvin Wilson

  Caught on his heels when Kallstrom delivered the pass behind him from which Ari set up Emenike's equaliser.

  Charles Mulgrew

  Worked hard in the tackle and also drifted out to the left flank to provide an attacking threat. His cross led to the second goal and capped off a determined all-round display.

  M. Lustig

  Rampaged down the right flank to great effect from full-back, providing the cross from which Hooper gave Celtic the lead. Spartak struggled to pick up his runs from deep.

  Scott Brown

  Did not influence the game in an attacking sense as much as others but was as dogged and tenacious as ever in the centre of the park.

  Kris Commons

  Played in a central position and kept things ticking over in possession, playing some good passes to spring counterattacks.

  Victor Wanyama

  Made some important tackles that not only broke up Spartak's play but also sprung counterattacking opportunities, as evidenced in the build-up to Hooper's opening goal.

  Georgios Samaras

  Floated dangerously on the left flank and provided a terrific cross for Hooper to score, but he was offside. Played a part in Celtic's second goal with a smart dummy. Didn't get close to goal himself until they needed it most, heading home Izaguirre's cross to seal the three points.

  Gary Hooper Top of the Match

  Showed his predatory instinct to give Celtic the lead with a deft touch to deflect home Lustig's low cross. Was marginally offside when he added another with a well-taken header, which was correctly ruled out, but then forced Insaurralde into a red card challenge and laid the ball off for Forrest to shoot for the second goal.

  Made an immediate impact from the bench with the shot that rebounded off of Kombarov for Celtic's equaliser and his pace caused real problems.
