ST MIRREN
JAK ALNWICK 6
Had no chance with the Rangers goals. Defensive errors didn’t help him.
RICHARD TAIT 6
Solid shift defensively. Had a couple of important interceptions and blocks.
BRANDON MASON 6
Looked tricky on the ball and put in a tireless shift on the left. Caused Tavernier problems.
JOE SHAUGHNESSY 5
Gifted Alfredo Morelos his goal after a shocking pass back to his goalkeeper. Not a great day for the skipper.
CONOR MCCARTHY 5
A busy afternoon for the central defender with Alfredo Morelos and Kemar Roofe in fine form. Fought until the end.
JAKE DOYLE-HAYES 7
Showed great energy in the middle of the pitch. Struggled to get on the ball as much as he would have liked though.
JON OBIKA 6
Huge chance to open the scoring in the early stages but fluffed his lines. Led St Mirren from the front well.
JAMIE MCGRATH 6
A tidy performance in the middle of the park. Kept the Buddies ticking and battled well.
DYLAN CONNOLLY 5
His pace always looked a threat for Saints, but he failed to get the beating of Borna Barisic.
MARCUS FRASER 6
Stuck to his defensive task well as he went up against a strong Rangers attack. Looked comfortable.
ETHAN ERHAHON 6
Got on the ball well in the final third. Did his best to provide service for Obika in the Buddies attack.
SUBS

KRISTIAN DENNIS (FOR MCGRATH, 77) 3
Thrown on as an extra striker in the late stages.
KYLE MCALLISTER (FOR CONNOLLY, 82) 2
Added a bit of bite for the Buddies.
CAMMY MACPHERSON (FOR ERHAHON, 85) 2
Too late to make a stamp on proceedings.
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
