A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Celtic.

ROVERS

FRIEDEL: Barely had a shot to save all night but when he was called on, he made two blinding stops from both Stilian Petrov and John Hartson...7

NEILL: Another super performance down the right where he comfortably snuffed out the threat of Alan Thompson...7

JOHANSSON: Coped well with the pacey Didier Agathe and tried to join in going forward when possible...7

SHORT: A colossus at the back all night, comfortably extinguishing the aerial threat of former Rovers striker Chris Sutton...8

TAYLOR: Another fantastic learning experience for the classy defender who kept a tight rein on Larsson for most of the night...8

FLITCROFT: Led by example with an all-action display in the centre of the park where he won plenty of second balls...7

TUGAY: One or two stray passes but generally kept the ball moving superbly in midfield as Rovers called all the shots...7

THOMPSON: The source of all Rovers' best work going forward which must have impressed the watching Sven Goran Eriksson...8

OSTENSTAD: Got through plenty of work up front but never really got a clear sight of goal...7

YORKE: Retained possession wonderfully well in attack, always appearing to have time and space in the tightest of spots...8

DUFF: Always a threat on the left but Rovers didn't get the ball out to him quite as much as they should have done...7
