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.
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
