Picking John Souttar for the first time yesterday, Micky Beale put a brave face on it as he spoke to Sky Sports shortly before kick-off.
For 70 minutes the match had gone error free for the former Hearts defender with former Liverpool star Ben Davies the main culprit with Celtic leading 2-1.
And then came the moment that Souttar will struggle to recover from. Taking a pass from Ryan Jack he casually sent the ball back towards Allan McGregor only to discover that Jota was onto it ahead of the veteran goalkeeper.
Seconds later Celtic were 3-1 in front, Souttar was hoping to share the blame with his goalkeeper as 60,000 partied all around.

Goldson was reported to have a hip problem- if correct the Souttar/Davies partnership could be in place for the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden on April 30.
