DAVID MARSHALL 6/10

Caught by surprise when Kevin Smith lobbed him with a nicely-weighted first-time lob .

CHRIS CADDEN 7

Picked up where he left off last season, posing a threat going forward and overlapping from right-back.

ROCKY BUSHIRI 6

Relished the physical confrontation in a game which suited his style, but ponderous in possession.

RYAN PORTEOUS 6

Recovered well from embarrassing early nutmeg by George Hunter but caught wrong side for Smith’s goal.

LEWIS STEVENSON 7

Cool, calm and collected at left-back, the veteran was solid if unspectacular.

AIDAN McGEADY 6

Cutting in from the right, the experienced winger had his moments but miscueing his penalty into the crowed was one to forget.

JOE NEWELL 8

Kept Hibs ticking in the middle of the pitch and his composure was replicated in front of goal. Finished at left-back again.

NOHAN KENNEH 7

Former Leeds midfielder was always always available to receive in the anchor role. Neat and tidy in possession.

EWAN HENDERSON 8

Very impressive once again. Playing off the left flank, he caused Bonnyrigg all sorts of problems and took his goals well.

CHRISTIAN DOIDGE 6

Gave Hibs a focal point in attack without actually posing much a threat in front of goal.

ELIAS MELKERSEN 7

Playing off a target man seems to suit him. Norwegian got himself into good areas and was unlucky not to score.
