43 – Nicolas Raskin – Good. Progressive passing but tired as went on, will be a gem. 7/10

71 – Malik Tillman – Outstanding. Won the penalty, scored (controversially) and was brilliant. Had some awful treatment from Thistle. 8/10

13 – Todd Cantwell – Struggled to influence, subbed at HT 5/10

7 – Ianis Hagi – Looks like he needs more game time and that’s understandable, failed to influence. Subbed off at HT 5/10
