Joe Hart 6

Almost caught out after dawdling in possession with the ball at his feet but Michael O’Halloran was too slow to nick the ball away. Looked solid thereafter.

Josip Juranovic 6

Was comfortable in possession for the most part but had a few loose passes, particularly as the game progressed.

Stephen Welsh 7

Hardly put a foot wrong. An assured and composed performance from the young defender.

Cameron Carter-Vickers 6

Interesting physical tussle with Chris Kane during the semi-final but the Spurs loanee came out on top. Good work in possession.

Anthony Ralston 6

Quiet afternoon for the Scotland internationalist. Found things quiet in his area of the park but covered plenty of ground over the 90 minutes.

Nir Bitton 7

Picked up a booking in the first half for a rash slide tackle on Kane but grew into the game after that. Good defensive positioning and worked his socks off.

Callum McGregor 7

Was his usual metronomic self. Showed a sign of what was to come when he split the Saints defence with an early through ball. Seemed to be everywhere for his team.

David Turnbull 5

Fairly quiet afternoon’s work from the midfielder. Spurned a glorious opportunity after a few minutes as he blazed over from inside the box. Struggled to make his presence felt.

Jota 8

A livewire down the left. Gave Saints a torrid time, especially in the first half, and provided the assist with a superb driving run. Terrific footwork throughout the game.

Liel Abada 5

Struggled to get into the game. Blazed over in the first half and didn’t contribute all that much else.

Kyogo Furuhashi 6

Worked his socks off as he pressured the Saints defence but clear-cut chances were hard to come by.
