OPINION
Celtic may have secured their second league win of the week with a 3-0 win over Hamilton at Parkhead on Saturday. But the triumph owed much to the inadequacies of the visitors, most notably their goalkeeper , who was at fault for both of the first two goals scored by Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie. The home side lacked fluency and much of their build-up play was stodgy. Mikael Lustig has been regularly criticised by Celtic fans this season, with the general feeling that he is nowhere near the player who was once a beacon of the side who have dominated Scottish football for so long. The Sweden international lined up alongside Kristoffer Ajer, Filip Benkovic and Emilio Izaguirre in a new-look defence in front of keeper Scott Bain. They looked nervous and tentative in possession, as they struggled without the calming presence of first-choice pair Kieran Tierney and Dedryck Boyata. None was worse than Lustig and it is little wonder he was the subject of so much fans’ criticism.

Every Hamilton attack has started with a misplaced pass from Lustig.
