Angus Gunn 5

Could do nothing about Conor Bradley’s deflected opener and wasn’t called into action otherwise.

Nathan Patterson 4

Endured a difficult match. Gave up possession far too cheaply twice in the build-up to Bradley’s goal. That mistake appeared to play on his mind and while Patterson kept going, his final ball lacked all game.

Jack Hendry 5

Saw the opening goal take an unfortunate deflection off him on its way into the net. Lots of the ball but little incision in his passing. Missed a great chance at a late set-piece. 

Liam Cooper 5

Brought in for a rare start, the Leeds captain spent much of the game exchanging passes with his defensive partners. 

Kieran Tierney 6

Moved to left-back as Clarke made the shift to a back four when Robertson was forced off. Tried to drive his team forward and started to break behind the defensive line with a couple of dinked deliveries to the back post.

Andy Robertson 5

Forced off following a collision with Trai Hume in which he appeared to roll his ankle. The captain played on for a few minutes before he was replaced by Lewis Ferguson. 

Billy Gilmour 6

Gilmour did his utmost to raise a slow tempo in possession before the break. Always looked the most likely to offer a spark and his reverse pass for Ferguson after the hour was the type of moment required to unpick a defence. 

Scott McTominay 5

Without space to hit or cutbacks to attack, Scotland’s in-form final third threat was quiet. Often dropping deeper next to Gilmour in a bid to get his team moving. 

John McGinn 5

Quiet before the break with limited space to receive through the lines and few crosses to attack. Like McTominay, a below-par performance.

Ryan Christie 5

Was busy and energetic, often drifting wide to the left in an attempt to impact proceedings. Unable to get going when moved permanently to the left wing.

Lyndon Dykes 4

Cut an isolated figure all game, spare the odd dart behind the visiting defence. This game felt better fitted for Shankland or Adams’ game.

Substitutes 

Lewis Ferguson (on for Robertson 37) 5

Many felt the Bologna midfielder merited a start and was Clarke’s first move from the bench. Passed up a good chance when Gilmour found his clever run before a late header was tipped over. 

Che Adams (on for Dykes 69) 4

Dropped to try and link play without much end product.

Kenny McLean (on for Gilmour 69)

Replaced Gilmour at the base of midfield. 

Stuart Armstrong (on for McGinn 77) 3

Unable to turn the final few minutes.

Lawrence Shankland (on for Christie 77) 3

An excellent chance from a corner was hit at a defender from close range.
