Man by Man

HEARTS

CRAIG GORDON 6

No chance with Mandragora’s placed header but superbly tipped Igor’s effort wide. Well beaten at second. Defence did him no favours.

MICHAEL SMITH 5

Attempted to organise backline that came apart under pressure. Replaced with hamstring issue.

LEWIS NEILSON 4

A few painful lessons, no more so than when he failed to check the run of Mandragona at opener. Red card for pulling down Jovic.

STEPHEN KINGSLEY 5

Part of an unconvincing defence that failed to read the danger.

ALEX COCHRANE 5

Allowed Jovic to climb above him for early chance. Late in attempt to block Kouame’s strike at second.

ANDY HALLIDAY 6

Struggled to get his side any safe possession and chasing shadows.

ORESTIS KIOMOURTZOGLOU 5

Struggled to get close to Amrabat as Italians passed through him.

JORGE GRANT 5

Couldn’t get close to Saponara and failed to impose himself on a midfield that was being overrun.

LAWRENCE SHANKLAND 5

Tried in vain to breach the offside trap. Starved of any quality ball.

JOSH GINNELLY 5

Had his side’s best chance saved by Gollini. Another peripheral figure.

BARRIE McKAY 6

Often the source of so much of his side’s better moments but they were too few and far between.

SUBS STEPHEN HUMPHRYS 4

Added a physical edge and brought a spark to Hearts attack.

CAMMY DEVLIN 2

Little impression on one-way traffic.

NAT ATKINSON 3

On after an hour and added energy.

ALAN FORREST 2

On too late to make an impact.

GARY MACKAY-STEVEN 2

Given last 15 minutes.
