Craig Gordon 6
Could do little about the Celtic goals. Did everything else asked of him. Booked for angry reaction to Odsonne Edouard’s penalty.
Michael Smith 7
His usual consistent self. Rarely put a foot wrong.
Craig Halkett 6
Gifted Edouard a goal in the first half but was bailed out by Gordon. Grew into the game.
Christophe Berra 6
Mostly solid but inexplicable handball for Celtic’s second.
Stephen Kingsley 6
Struggled to deal with the link-up play between Kris Ajer and Ryan Christie but grabbed the equaliser.
Andy Halliday 7
Started poorly but improved as the game went on. Booked for a rash challenge on Scott Brown. Got the assist for Boyce.
Andy Irving 5
Struggled to impose himself on the game. Didn’t get the time on the ball that he needs.
Steven Naismith 7
Was everywhere for Hearts. Worked hard off the ball and was always in areas to receive it.
Jamie Walker 5
Quiet afternoon for the midfielder. Booked for a silly foul on Callum McGregor.
Aidy White 5
Unfortunate to give away the first goal.
Liam Boyce 6
Worked hard and took his goal well at a crucial point in the game.
Substitutes
Josh Ginnelly (for Walker, 57’) 8
Looked lively. Played a key role in all three goals but missed a few great chances too.
Craig Wighton (for Boyce, 70’) 4
Provided pace up top as Hearts looked to counter. Missed the crucial penalty.
Olly Lee (for White, 82’) 5
Brought on to shore up midfield.
Peter Haring (for Halliday, 91’) 5
Added some steel to the Hearts defence.
