Zander Clark 7

Brilliant save to deny Lee Erwin in the first half.

Jason Kerr 6

Didn’t get forward as often as he would have liked but was a rock-solid presence in defence.

Liam Gordon 6

Composed at the back and strong in the air.

Jamie McCart 5

Lucky not to give away a penalty for handball at 0-0. Pretty comfortable apart from that.

Shaun Rooney 6

Found himself pinned back more than he would have liked. Almost added a third with a thumping header.

Callum Booth 7

Did well to get forward and support attacks while keeping Richard Tait pretty quiet at the other end.

Ali McCann 6

Fascinating individual battle with Jamie McGrath. Was excellent off the ball but could have offered a little more on it.

Craig Bryson 6

Provided an experienced head in the middle. Rarely gave the ball away.

David Wotherspoon 8

Classy performance from the playmaker. Tested Alnwick with a couple of shots on goal and was the man making things happen in the final third.

Guy Melamed 5

Quiet afternoon from the Israeli.

Chris Kane 7

Great all-round centre-forward play. Took his goal well and looked strong on the ball. A constant thorn in the Buddies’ side.

Substitutes

Glenn Middleton 8

(For Melamed, 65) Stunning free-kick worthy of winning any semi-final. Generated so much power that Alnwick had no chance of stopping it. Set up Kane for the opening goal.

Michael O’Halloran 3

(For Kane, 86) On for last few minutes.
