Tom Rogic “struggled to get into the game” as he was handed a 5/10 rating for his 58-minute display in Celtic’s 2-1 extra-time Scottish FA Cup semi-final loss to Rangers on Sunday.
The Daily Record wrote: “Struggled to get into the game as the frantic pace kept his influence to a minimum. Peripheral figure and hustled and bustled out of possession as he came in for some rough treatment from Bassey in particular. So often the architect of Celtic’s big moments on the grand stage but not on this occasion.”
Nathaniel Atkinson helped Hearts clinch a spot in the final with a full game in their 2-1 win over Hibernian in the other FA Cup semi-final on Saturday. Cam Devlin returned from injury as an 87th minute substitute too.
Atkinson earned a 6/10 rating from the Daily Record, who wrote: “Heavily involved in the opening period when his pressing forced Hibs on the retreat. Tucked in for a more disciplined role after the interval as Hearts were the ones who had to dig it out.”
