Scott Allan has been a joy to watch this season. IMO I don't think we have had a better creative midfielder since Latapy. As good as Boozy, Miller, Thomson & Brown, though they did it against a better standard of player.
However, it is still early days for him. He is playing against a lower standard of player and his better displays have been in games when he has had space. Today, he is up against a strong midfield pairing and will be a marked man. Will he put in a MOTM display, similar to his the Rangers performance, or will he be marked out of the game?
It would be good to get your thoughts at the end of the game.

There will be a lot of eyes on Allan today, wondering if the hype is justified. It could be about the other midfielders just as much, in particular Liam Craig needs to show his recent good form is permanent, and he certainly owes us after a few horrible derby performances in the past.

He can look forward to some pretty rough treatment today. We need a strong referee.

I think Allan will get man marked, and where possible I think hearts will try to crowd him. I think Malonga saying in the press recently that he plays well when Scott does will probably mean we are in for a frustrating day from Malonga too. The bright side of this, though, is the space will hopefully be exploited by Cumming and Craig. With his direct running, I hope Stanton get a run out in the second half, as I think he could pull apart the midfield runners from hearts, and give Allan some breathing space.

Big day for him, he's good enough to shine in a game like this.

Scott Brown was always relatively quiet in derbies. I hope Scott doesn't suffer the same fate.

He wasn't quiet in the last Derby. Him and DM were tremendous.

I didn't see the game. Only know that his pass set up the first goal.

Great assist. Played quite well but some poor delivery from set pieces IMO

Was fouled repeatedly, got no protection from the ref which just encouraged their tactics, resulting free kicks were wasted due to lack of quality.Two quality crosses,one which resulted in a goal, the other foiled by a great goal saving defensive clearance.

If id never seen him before today I'd be wondering what all the hype is about. Can do a lot better than that.

Floated crosses serve no purpose. Ever.

Won't do him any harm to realise won't get it all own way every week.

He was fine. He wasn't as influential as last week but I was happy enough considering they setup to stop him.
Not vintage but good enough.

Not his best but the idea his only good contribution was the pass in the lead up to the goal is bizarre. He knocked the ball about well, had a few decent runs and 1 or 2 good balls in behind that turned their defence.
His set pieces were really poor today though.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years
