Shield Guard and Critical Hits

Just confirming. No dice are rolled to hit the Shield Guard, but the rule does specify that the guarding model suffers a direct hit and all effects.
I assume if the initial hit is a critical, the subsequent Shield guarded hit is also.

Is this correct?

that is correct, anything that would have been triggered by the original hit happens to the Shield Guard model instead
