French striker Armand Gnanduillet then got his first of two goals after nodding youngster Leo Watson’s corner in at the front post.

The towering striker was at it again in the second half, heading home from a Jordan Roberts cross after the latter had just stepped off the substitutes bench.

The scoring was completed late on with Stephen Kingsley following up a rebound from ten yards to fire home and secure a one-sided victory for Robbie Neilson’s men over their League One opponents.

In addition to Henderson and Watson, fellow academy graduates Aidan Denholm, Connor Smith and Scott McGill started the match. Craig Gordon wore the captain’s armband for the Jambos.
