PLAYER RATINGS

Robbin Ruiter

A couple of nervy moments but no repeat of weekend horror show. Made fine save to deny Snodgrass

Adam Matthews

Lost possession for the break that led to Villa’s first goal and went down in a heap

Joh O’Shea

Villa’s lively frontmen meant he had to stay on his toes

Ty Browning

Solid alongside O’Shea and could do nothing about the deflection that gave Villa their second goal

Bryan Oviedo

Got forward down the left at every opportunity; tested Johnstone with a decent effort just before the goal

Darron Gibson

Played as the holding midfielder and did a reasonable job

Callum McManaman

A few flashes of skill but failed to find an end product

George Honeyman

Worked hard in central midfield

Lynden Gooch

No shortage of effort but struggled to make an impact on the game

Aiden McGeady

Fairly quiet but did produce the cross that led to the goal

Lewis Grabban

Always a threat and on target again, notching his seventh goal in six games and his 10th of season
