Jak Alnwick 6
Could do nothing for either goal. Fantastic reaction stop to deny Shaun Rooney at 2-0.
Marcus Fraser 6
Positioning a little suspect on occasion but didn’t do all that much wrong.
Joe Shaughnessy 6
Solid enough at the back. Too easily beaten for the Chris Kane’s crucial opener.
Conor McCarthy 7
Good distribution and kept things quiet in his area of the pitch. Pulled one back late on with a well-timed header.
Richard Tait 5
Covered a lot of ground as he drove forward but final ball was lacking on occasion.
Ilkay Durmus 7
Looked dangerous on the ball when driving forward and capable of delivering great crosses into the box, too.
Jake Doyle-Hayes 6
Sat at the base of the midfield and was a safe pair of hands in possession.
Jamie McGrath 7
Another encouraging performance from St Mirren’s star man. Neat footwork, an eye for a pass and it was his free-kick for McCarthy’s goal.
Ethan Erhahon 6
Yesterday marked the midfielder’s 20th birthday but chances are, it won’t be one he’ll recall fondly. Worked his socks off in the middle.
Kristian Dennis 6
Superb cross on the volley to his strike partner in the first half that really should have resulted in a goal. Unfortunate not to gain a penalty after his shot struck the arm of Jamie McCart.
Lee Erwin 5
Tidy on the ball but wasteful in front of goal.
Substitutes
Collin Quaner 3
(For Dennis, 57) Simply had to score from a few yards out, but somehow prodded it wide.
Dylan Connelly 4
(For Tait, 68) Provided a fresh pair of legs.
Eamonn Brophy 5
(For Erhahon, 77) Was inches away from curling in an equaliser late on.
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
