Zander Clark 7

Provided some big saves early on to allow his team a platform for victory.

Shaun Rooney 9

The wing back was the game’s best player, powerful throughout and added a second goal soon after half-time with a stunning header before assisting for the third.

Jason Kerr 8

The Saints captain bulleted a towering header home with his side’s first real chance of the match that set the Saints on their way.

Liam Gordon 7

Led an overall excellent and disciplined defensive display at the heart of the back line.

Jamie McCart 7

Like the rest of his defence, did his job superbly to survive some heavy pressure early on.

Scott Tanser 7

Distributed the ball well throughout and like Rooney was a good out-ball for his side.

Murray Davidson 7

Was tenacious and determined in front of the defence, more than justified his selection from the off.

Ali McCann 8

Covers so much ground each game and his engine was a real asset to his side.

Craig Conway 9

Put in an experienced performance which showed why he was preferred to start, topped off with his delivery for Rooney’s goal and a tidy finish for the third goal.

David Wotherspoon 8

The former Easter Road youngster helped get the ball rolling with a superb assist for Kerr’s opener.

Chris Kane 7

He ran himself into the ground and occupied Hibs’ centre-halves well.

Substitutes
