ALLAN MCGREGOR 6
Left exposed by his defence for the opening goal. Had little to do in the second half.
JAMES TAVERNIER 6
Got into a number of promising positions but couldn’t have the desired impact in the final third.
CONNOR GOLDSON 7
Another comfortable afternoon for the stopper as his fine form continued with a commanding showing.
LEON BALOGUN 6
Has to take some responsibility for the Cole goal. Steady enough thereafter.
BORNA BARISIC 6
No lack of effort down the left and persistence paid off as he got an assist for Itten.
STEVEN DAVIS 7
The best of the midfield three by some way as he impressed on his 300th appearance.
GLEN KAMARA 6
Not at his best in the first half but did improve and grow in influence after the break.
JOE ARIBO 6
Needed to show more quality when it mattered as it turned into a frustrating outing for the midfielder.
IANIS HAGI 6
A couple of moments aside, the Romanian couldn’t really get involved or worry Motherwell on a low-key afternoon.
RYAN KENT 6
Bright in spells but couldn’t make the most of his chances on a day when Gerrard needed him to step up.
ALFREDO MORELOS 7
Didn’t get the support that he required at times. No goal this time around but a good all-round performance.
Substitutes:
CEDRIC ITTEN 6
(for Hagi, 55) Continued his record against the Steelmen with a header to make it 1-1.
JERMAIN DEFOE 3
(for Morelos, 83) Couldn’t grab the winner off the bench.
BRANDON BARKER 2
(for Kent, 88) No impact in final minutes.
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
