and live on Freeview channel 276
GK – Craig Gordon – 6
Couldn’t do much about any of the goals and had to make a few other saves.
DR – Nathaniel Atkinson – 5
A bit up and down. Had some nice defensive moments but at other times almost got his side in trouble. Booked.
DRC – Michael Smith – 6

Hide AdIn at the depleted centre-back corps for his experience and performed pretty well.
DLC – Stephen Kingsley – 5
Appeared to lose his man for the all-important second goal. A bit more unlucky with the third which deflected off him.
DL – Alex Cochrane – 5
Wasn’t having the worst of nights but at fault for the third. Didn’t do much in an attacking sense.
DM – Peter Haring – 4
Struggled again in European football, including being at fault for the opener. Subbed at the half.
DM – Cammy Devlin – 7

Hide AdHearts’ best player on the night. Ran himself into the ground, won the ball back a good few times and even played a couple of nice through balls. Subbed off at 2-0.
AMR – James Forrest – 4
Worked hard but nothing really came off for him. Slipped on a couple of occasions.
AM – Andy Halliday – 5
Charged up and down the park. An asset out of possession, perhaps, but caught dallying far too often with it at his feet.
AML – Barrie McKay – 5
Started brightly but was barely in the game after the first 25 minutes.
FC – Lawrence Shankland – 5

Hide AdWorked hard but struggled at times to keep possession. Another who wanted too much time on the ball.
Sub – Stephen Humphrys – 6
Looked a lot sharper than he did at Livingston, especially when stationed out on the left. Had a strong start to the second half before fading.
Sub – Josh Ginnelly – 5
Injected a bit of urgency but made a baffling decision to backheel when found charging in at the back post.
Sub – Connor Smith – 5
Got a booking for cementing opposing captain Danijel Aleksić at 3-0.
Sub – Lewis Neilson – n/a
On late
Sub – Euan Henderson – n/a
