HIBERNIAN
MATT MACEY 6
Relatively quiet afternoon for the goalkeeper at the national stadium. Good save from Shankland after his side went 2-0 up.
JOSH DOIG 7
A candidate for Scotland’s young player of the year and he proved exactly why at Hampden. Doig was up and down the left flank throughout and defended well.
PAUL HANLON 6
The skipper marshalled Lawrence Shankland well and won a number of aerial duals ahead of the striker. A dominant display.
RYAN PORTEOUS 6
Booked after some poor defending against Marc McNulty early in the second half. Apart from that a pretty polished performance.
PAUL MCGINN 7
Really strict defensively which allowed Martin Boyle to go and express himself. Never troubled with his back to goal.
MELKER HALLBERG 6
In for Alex Gogic and played the defensive midfield role well. Picked up on plenty scraps in and around the penalty area.
MARTIN BOYLE 6
The winger never got on the ball as much as he would have liked. Despite that he was still a threat on the few occasions he got his foot on the ball.
JOE NEWALL 6
Knocked the ball about well in the middle of the park. Kept Hibs ticking and fed the front two at every opportunity.
JACKSON IRVINE 7
Really clever on the ball. Tidy in possession and put a shift in when United were on the ball too.
KEVIN NISBET 8
Opened the scoring with a neat finish in the first half. Always looked a threat on the ball and caused the Dundee United defence problems all afternoon.
CHRISTIAN DOIDGE 7
The big target man linked play well and fed his strike partner Nisbet at every opportunity. Top finish for his goal, despite being offside.
SUBS
KYLE MAGENNIS (FOR NEWELL, 60) 4
Added plenty energy into the Hibs midfield when introduced.
DARREN MCGREGOR (FOR PORTEOUS, 73) 4
Introduced for a late defensive shift.
JAMIE MURPHY (FOR NISBET, 84) 3
Looked really sharp in the dying stages.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
