1. Jamie Brandon - 6
Had one shaky moment where a poor pass almost put Hearts in danger, but played a couple of useful balls forward and was solid enough. Subbed on 62 minutes Photo: SNS
2. Michael Smith - 8
Solid at centre-back, his distribution was strong from defence and he got forward well when moved to the right. A typically strong showing. Photo: SNS
3. Aaron Hickey - 6
Wasn't really in the game until the final 15 minutes as more space opened up on the wing with Livingston down to ten men. Photo: SNS
4. Sean Clare - 7
Had a very good first half. Couldn't replicate it in the second, but was one of few Hearts players constantly looking for the ball. Photo: SNS
