How the Hibs players rated in 2-2 draw with Dundee United

Martin Boyle, left, was Hibs' best player at Tannadice.

Ofir Marciano - 6

Will be disappointed at conceding twice on a day when he had nothing else to save. Perhaps could have got to Appere's goal.

Jason Naismith - 6

Steady first half as Hibs kept United at bay before sustaining game-ending knee injury just before the equaliser.

Ryan Porteous - 7

First game back in since red card against Rangers. Defended soundly before being forced off with an injury early in the second half.

Paul Hanlon - 7

Generally defended with assurance and ensured United had very few clear chances. Could do little about either goal.

Lewis Stevenson - 6

In the thick of the battle and stuck to his task. Unable to stop Shankland prodding in the equaliser.

Melker Hallberg - 7

Great chance to double Hibs' lead in first half but was denied by Siegrist. Competed well in midfield.

Steven Whittaker - 7

A surprise starter at the base of Hibs' midfield and justified his first start since August with a strong display. Made some fine passes.

Martin Boyle - 8

Best player on the pitch. Set one up, scored one and was a constant threat to United.

Scott Allan - 7

The midfielder was key to Hibs' strong start. Involved in both of his team's goals.

Florian Kamberi - 7

Moved out to the left flank and was a regular threat, driving at goal whenever he could. Unlucky not to score early on and then denied by Siegrist in second half after playing big part in Boyle goal.

Christian Doidge - 7

Took his goal well and produced some good hold-up play. Had a couple of late chances to win it.

Subs

David Gray - 6

On at half-time for his first appearance since September and competed well in a frenetic cup tie.

Darren McGregor - 6

On for Porteous and generally stood up to United's threat.
