HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 8.5/10 MOTM –  Cool Hand Luke. They’ll never keep him under lock and key – once he freed himself of Sheepy shackles tonight, his mercurial movement tore them apart. Two assists, a sweet strike of his own, and a season-capping display to show he certainly does belong in the jersey he’s coveted all his days. If the fates have conspired, he may find himself replacing injured Reo in the Cup Final; no complaints here if it falls that way.
