-

Deniz Mehmet

6 Nothing he could do with either of Hibs’ goals. Made a couple of good saves – including from a Kevin Nisbet free- kick in the second half.

Ryan Edwards

Struggled to cope with the threat of Christian Doidge and Nisbet. Was booked for scything down Martin Boyle.

Liam Smith

Made a key intercepti­on on Boyle who could have made it 3-0. Defended well but was never really an influence going forward.

Mark Reynolds

Another who was troubled by the pace of Hibs on the attack. An uncharacte­ristic display.

Jamie Robson

Had a quiet first 45 minutes but made a better impression in the second period. Big chance in the penalty area to grab a goal back in the second half.

Jeando Fuchs

5 6 5 6

6 Battled well in the middle of the park, but his use of the ball was suspect at times.

Ian Harkes

Had a couple of big chances in the first half when it was goalless. Will be kicking himself. 6

Calum Butcher Booked early in the match and it probably affected his overall play.

Marc McNulty 6 A couple of speculativ­e attempts from distance were the highlights of his afternoon.

Nicky Clark

6

6 Substitute­d early in the second half. Struggled to have an impact on the game despite seeing plenty of the ball.

Lawrence Shankland Famed for his sharp shooting in front of goal but he seemed to lack confidence in the final third. 5

SUBSTITUTE­S Adrian Sporle ( for Clark, 53) 4 Was brought on as United changed their shape. Got forward well.

Peter Pawlett ( for Harkes, 60) 3 Never made the impact that Micky Mellon would have hoped.
