“You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out,” Tom Petty.

VINDALOO – 6/10 – Didn’t look too happy with his passing options, certainly first-half with the sun in his eyes, although he IS comfortable using his feet. Handling good and nothing wrong with his confidence. Expect he was affected by some unstable moments ahead, drawing him in to become one of the shaky trinity at the centre of our defence.

Kieran Tierney

KATIE – 6/10 – Solid enough from KT, nothing spectacular but decent linkage with King Tut up the wing. And he did manage to see out a 90 minutes which may be encouraging. Provided he’s not picked up a knock…

OF JUSTICE – 6.5/10 – The Wicklow wonder keeps you wondering, particularly when he’s passing like Stevie Wonder…But overall, his balance of positive versus negative trumps on the good side, shrugging off an early yellow for bitch-slapping Tony ‘Barcaskelper’ Watt to throw in a glancing-headed goal and cap off a decent afternoon.

Cameron Carter-Vickers

GET CARTER – 5.5/10 – Bit of a worry, to be honest – lapses that once were anomalies appear to be happening with heart-stopping regularity; his eye-off-the-ball speciality was accompanied today with a blindside from five yards. The big fella needs to sharpen up those synapses – does Lennoxtown have an electro-shock therapy room he can use before Thursday?

MELLOW YELLOW – 6/10 – Another workmanlike, busy performance from the rangy 60s crooner. Has been providing competent cover in the right-back role and might have a shout to be a permanent fixture if he maintains a consistent, quality level.
