Ajdin Hrustic was handed a start in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 1-0 home defeat to German champions and leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday, earning a 6.5/10 rating.

Awer Mabil was sent off late in Kasimpasa’s 2-1 home loss to Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig on Monday.

In Mabil’s haste to find an equaliser, he pushed an opponent in the 97th minute after winning a free-kick and trying to play the ball fast, with the referee giving him a second yellow card for the offence, leaving the Australian stunned.
Tom Rogic had a rare poor game as Celtic drew 0-0 away to Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

The Scotsman rated Devlin 6/10 and wrote: “Up and down afternoon for the little midfielder. First half passed him by but took up better positions in second but booked for coming together with Tait over penalty claim. Scored shortly before being subbed.”
The Scotsman rated Atkinson 5/10 and added: “Caution in the first half took the wind out of his sails a little, then subbed for Cochrane in the second half.”
