STAR MAN Nathan Moriah-Welsh

Absolutely bossed the battle in central midfield, running any number of men in maroon ragged with his anticipation and energy.

David Marshall

Didn’t have too many saves to make in a game where he really deserved to finish with a clean sheet. Again, his distribution was superb.

Lewis Miller

He could have been made for this fixture. Loves a rammy, likes to compete for a 50-50 even when it’s a 30-70…and he got chances to go forward.

Will Fish

Horribly unlucky to concede a penalty, to say the least. Made some brilliant blocks and tackles in dominant performance.

Rocky Bushiri

Booked for a foul on Shankland, the Congolese international stuck to the Hearts target man all night.

Jordan Obita

Such a useful attacking weapon from left back, the Englishman had to do plenty of defending against the Hearts wingers. Excellent.

Joe Newell

Another captain’s performance from the midfielder, whose ability to retain possession AND play progressive passes makes him invaluable to Montgomery.

Martin Boyle

Heavily involved in opener, his pace and game intelligence meant he was always going to be double teamed or triple marked.

Emiliano Marcondes

Took his goal brilliantly and used his talents – a sure touch, clever positioning and loads of experience – to shine in a fixture where brutality often trumps technique.

Myziane Maolida

Hibs didn’t get him isolated in a one-on-one often enough for him to do real damage. Shifted to centre forward when Vente went off.

Dylan Vente

On another night, he might have had a hat-trick. Impressed until replaced by Youan with 20 minutes remaining.

SUB Elie Youan

Impressed after coming on after 68 minutes.

SUB Dylan Levitt

Given the closing quarter hour in place of Moriah-Welsh.

SUB Nectarios Triantis

Defender was thrown into midfield in the closing 10 minutes.
