John Souttar: Read the game well and made some vital interceptions. A strong presence at the back. 8

Christophe Berra: Showed his pace and strength to get back and make a crucial block on Scott Sinclair just before the break. A solid display from the captain. 8

Arnaud Djoum: Booked for foul on Nir Bitton in the first half. Showed good anticipation to win the penalty for the equaliser. Another strong display from the on-form midfielder. 8
