Hibs player ratings: One player scores 8/10 as three land 5/10 v St Johnstone

Ratings out of 10 for every Hibs player who featured in the 1-1 draw against St Johnstone.

Ten-man Hibs squeezed into the top six with a battling second-half performance after James Jeggo was shown a controversial red card three minutes into the second half.

St Johnstone, playing under interim boss Steven MacLean, after the sacking of Callum Davidson, went in front when David Marshall allowed a Stevie May to slither under him and over the line, but Lewis Stevenson fired home a superb equaliser. It was only his tenth goal in 571 games for the club.

Marshall pulled off three good saves as Saints put ten-man Hibs under pressure in the second half but Lee Johnson’s men, who were without Josh Campbell through illness, held on to secure an important point.

GK – DAVID MARSHALL 6/10

Mixed bag. Three very good saves late on but must take blame for Saints’ goal, mis-kicked a clearance and nearly let a Wright shot squirm through.

RB – EJ EGAN-RILEY 5

Hesitant start and was on the receiving end of a robust aerial challenge on the touchline which required treatment. Subbed after being booked.

RCB – WILL FISH 8

Mistimed a challenge just outside the box in the opening minutes but recovered, kept it simple and defended very well against Stevie May.

LCB – PAUL HANLON 7

Steady and resolute performance from the experienced defender. Didn’t take any chances and held the defence together under pressure late on.

LB – LEWIS STEVENSON 7

A striker would have been proud of the deft touch and sweet connection for his first goal since July 2018. That’s 10 goals now ... in 571 games.

DCM – JIMMY JEGGO 5

All the talk will be about his controversial red card, clearly winning the ball and catching Connor McLennan on the follow-through.

RCM – JAKE DOYLE-HAYES 6

Didn’t reach he heights of his derby performance against Hearts, but he wasn’t the only one. Kept working to the end.

LCM – JOE NEWELL 7

Made some very important defensive interventions late in the game when Hibs had ten men and were under pressure.

RF – CHRIS CADDEN 5

Started in an attacking position wide on the right before being pulled back later on. Didn’t come up with the crosses he is capable of.

LF – ELIÉ YOUAN 6

Looked like the best attacking outlet until the red card and provided the assist for Stevenson’s equaliser with a first-time inside pass.

ST – KEVIN NISBET 7

Frustrating day for the striker, who clearly felt aggrieved by some decisions. A real nuisance for defenders and put in a very big shift.

SUB – EWAN HENDERSON 6

For Egan-Riley 68mins. Did what was asked to help secure a point.

SUB – LEWIS MILLER 6

For Youan 85mins. Brought on to shore things up at the back.

SUB – MATTHEW HOPPE 6

For Cadden 91mins. Only got a few minutes.
