Craig Gordon (7) - Early bystander suddenly found shots raining in.
Almost stunned by a Yahaya half-volley then hacked away low shot from Budescu. Beaten by scrappy close-range Enache effort
Mikael Lustig (7) - A minor pre-game worry as he returns from groin problems, the Swede was clattered early by Yahaya. But his crossing from the right seemed likeliest route to goal
Jason Denayer (5) - Too many passes were straight to the opposition and no conviction when attempting to clear for the goal
Virgil van Dijk (5) - Optimistic enough to spank a free-kick at goal early on, but defence which he marshals generally appeared hesitant and uncomfortable
Emilio Izaguirre (7) - Miracle recovery after being stretchered off in Dingwall. A fine second-half cross should have given Scepovic the opener
Scott Brown (6) - Seemed becalmed. Fully 35 minutes had gone before he went on a driving run and snarled at Denayer for some misdemeanour or other
Charlie Mulgrew (3) - Headed wildly over early on, lost bearings frequently and too many loose passes
Callum McGregor (4) - Spoke of reclaiming his place in the Scotland squad for Republic of Ireland and England but can think again after this
Stefan Johansen (7) - Deila's star pupil continued in an advanced role with Commons absent. Popped up to steer in the killer second
Anthony Stokes (7) - The Irishman is thriving under Deila. Inch perfect free-kick led to the goal but saw only shooting chance blocked. Subbed
Stefan Scepovic (6) - From zero to hero but in truth the £2.3m Serbian striker didn't convince on his big chance. Spurned two glaring aerial chances before header which broke his duck
SUBSTITUTES
Aleksandar Tonev (6) (for McGregor 57) - His cross led to the clincher
Mubarek Wakaso (4) (for Mulgrew 67) - The Ghanaian's first act was to backtrack 70 yards and nearly concede a penalty
Biram Kayal (3) (for Stokes 76) - Came on to shore things up in midfield
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
