HIBS

- GORDON PARKS

ADAM BOGDAN 6 Let down by his defence for first. Survived moments of panic before being eliminated by cross for No.2 and no chance with Molde’s third.

MARTIN BOYLE 6 Saw plenty of the ball in wing-back role. Careless in the final third and should have been more selfish in rare attacking moments.

EFE AMBROSE 5 Booked for a lunge on Gregersen and beaten by Gabrielsen at the back post for opener. Never comfortabl­e up against Molde’s forwards and exposed for second.

PAUL HANLON 7 Held his line as Molde threatened to overwhelm Hibs early on and put his body on the line with a succession of brave blocks.

RYAN PORTEOUS 5 Booked for clattering Haland and found the teenager too hot to handle in what was another huge learning curve for the defender.

LEWIS STEVENSON 6 Had to track back to assist with defensive duties and managed to restrict Aursnes’s threat.

MARVIN BARTLEY 5 Work cut out trying to screen a back three and struggled to match runner before limping off in 40th minute with hamstring injury.

VYKINTAS SLIVKA 6 Dragged around midfield by slick interchang­e of passing but energetic as he did his best to contain Molde’s midfield mobility.

STEVIE MALLAN 7 Trademark swerving strike was kept out and another was shoved to safety with his shooting power Hibs’ most potent weapon.

JAMIE MACLAREN 6 Attempted to play as a pair with Kamberi but forced to chase down channels. Failed to react to early cross and frustrated by woodwork.

FLORIAN KAMBERI 6 Held up play and linked with midfield but clear-cut chances were in short supply as he did his best work outside the box.

SUBS: EMERSON HYNDMAN 6 Managed to get decent possession and show his eye for a pass.

OLI SHAW 4 Replaced Maclaren in 75th minute and added pace and impetus.

DAVID GRAY 1 Handed last few minutes.

Not used: Laidlaw, Whittaker, Swanson, Martin.

MOLDE: Linde, Gabrielsen, Forren, Gregersen (Strand 71), Hussain, Aursnes, Hestad, Remmer, Cibicki (Wolff Eikrem 56), Haugen, Haland (James 82).
