Hibs… how they rated

-

MATT MACEY

No chance with the goal and only a handful of routine saves otherwise - superb penalty save and block from the follow-up. 8

PAUL MCGINN

Gave away penalty with a clumsy challenge on Chris Kane but had a decent game otherwise. 6 RYAN PORTEOUS

Comfortabl­e enough but made a couple of unforced errors that put his side under pressure. 6 PAUL HANLON

One of Hibs' better players on the day and unlucky with second-half header. 7 MARTIN BOYLE

St Johnstone had identified the winger as the danger man and he was tightly marked throughout, unable to make his usual impact. 5

JOE NEWELL

Midfielder went close with first-half effort but struggled to dictate play as he often does. 6

ALEX GOGIC

Questions will be asked of his role in the goal when he bought the famous David Wotherspoo­n chop – substitute­d in the second half. 6 JACKSON IRVINE

Hustled and bustled in midfield, had he buried first-half chance the game could have been so different. 6

JOSH DOIG

Young player of the year was outmuscled when beaten at the back post by Shaun Rooney for the only goal of the game but solid enough otherwise. 6 KEVIN NISBET

One shot early in the second half but quiet throughout, failing to cap his Scotland call-up with Scottish Cup glory. 5 CHRISTIAN DOIDGE

A couple of half-chances but unable to keep up his Scottish Cup goalscorin­g run. 5 SUBSTITUTE­S

Jamie Murphy

(for Gogic) Brought energy to the attack. 6

Melker Hallberg

(for Newell) Offered attacking impetus. 6

Lewis Stevenson

(for Doig) On after Doig picked up injury. 6
