Robbie Neilson' s men moved into second in the Championship with all goals coming in the first half. Michael Smith opened the scoring early on, Andy Halliday netted from a Liam Boyce assist and Peter Haring scored his first in nearly 600 days.
The second half was a non-event with Boyce’s penalty miss following a retake the only real point of interest.

9. Jordan Roberts - 5
A few blocked shots is about as much as he had to show from his outing. Against a part-time team who are bottom of the table, he should have offered more. Much more. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
10. Steven Naismith - 7
Sharper performance from the captain. More influential in and out of possession. Should have scored in the first half but in a midfield role was always up on play, trying to make himself available and keeping it ticking over. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
11. Liam Boyce - 6
A quiet game for the striker. Didn't get much in open play. Created Halliday's goal with a great pass but missed from the penalty spot twice after being asked to retake. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
12. Aidy White - 7
A strong impression off the bench. Was more positive and forceful than Roberts. Fired in dangerous crosses and beat opponents with pace and a drop of the shoulder. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
