Player Ratings v Stranraer

[Future17]

Oxley - 7 - Did OK, made one very good save in the first half. Not sure what's happened to his kicking though.

McGregor - 6 - Solid enough but not really tested.

Hanlon - 6 - As above.

Fontaine - 6 As above.

Stevenson - 7 - Got forward well but his crossing could have been better. Dwelt on the ball and lost possession a couple of times.

Fyvie - 6 - His passing was accurate but we need more from him now Allan has gone. Needs to find a role in the new look midfield and make it his own. Hope his injury isn't serious.

Henderson - 6 - The jury is still out for me. He obviously has ability and maybe just needs a run of games, but his decision-making needs to improve. We need the midfield to chip in with plenty of goals if we're to get promoted this season and, if that is to happen, he needs to work on his finishing.

McGinn - 8 - Played well tonight and looked like he's getting sharper with each game. Did well when in possession, but also worked hard hassling and tackling. My only criticism was he could have got himself a goal or two tonight if he was a bit sharper around the box.

McGeouch - 8 - Probably just pipped McGinn to MotM. Very determined, also available for a pass, bundles of energy and some great, direct running. If he adds goals to his game, he'll be worth a few quid come this summer or next.

Boyle - 6 - Worked hard, but ultimately was frustrating to watch for large parts of the game.

Cummings - 7 - Was unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions. I can't help but feel he would benefit massively from playing off a proper big-man. If we can't get Farid fit, Cummings could be the one who suffers most ironically. Hopefully he benefits from the presence of Keatings pressuring him for a starting place and that leads to an improvement in his finishing.

Carmichael - 5/6- Did some nice stuff, but he needs to either play on the right or learn to use his left foot. He actually took the pace and impetus out of a couple of promising looking attacks by cutting back onto his right foot.

Keatings - 6 - Good to see him play. Looked reasonably sharp and had some nice touches.

[Pretty Boy]

Oxley 7 - 1 save to make and it was a stunner.

McGreggor 6 - Ok defensively. Offered little going forward and should have been sent off.

Hanlon 6 - Rarely tested.

Fontaine 6 - Likewise.

Stevenson 5 - Fine defensively. Final ball was utterly woeful.

Fyvie 6 - Neat and tidy. Got forward well a few times but should be influencing games more.

McGeough 6 - Tried to make things happen but was so deep, was behind our centre backs at times.

Henderson 6 - Few nice touches but lacked composure at times.

McGinn 6 - Similar to McGeough, tried to make things happen but nothing came off and it was all too pedestrian.

Cummings 5 - Worked hard but nothing was created for him and when he did get in positions he's too determined to get on his left foot and that cost him more than one half chance tonight.

Boyle 5 - Similar to Jason but swap right foot for left.

McGeouch given MOTM.

Rightly so, IMO

[The Harp Awakes]

Thought McGinn and McGeouch both played well for most of the match and tried hard to make things happen. The defence was solid without having much to do. Boyle and Cummings didn't pose much of a threat and Henderson struggled a bit.

Difficult to see where the goals are going to come from especially when teams sit in like Stranraer did tonight.

Quite surprised by the low marks for mcgregor. Thought he did very well tonight, considering it was his first game of the season.

[lucky]

5.5 to everyone bar McGeough who gets a 6. Hibs were awful

I thought he was poor, but I'll put that down to lack of match practice. Thought he elbowed the Stranraer lad in the 2nd half

Would agree with this. Really poor tonight and trying to play the World Cup pass every time, and 9 times out of 10 went out of play. Would have like to seen a couple subs come on a bit earlier on.

He definitely did.

It was right in front of me and he turned to see where the guy was then smashed the elbow into his face. Totally out of order and how the linesman, who was 2 yards away max, missed it is beyond me. Lucky, lucky lad to stay on the park.

And we nearly scored from his cross. He even seemed to stop expecting the ref to blow. I thought he played well tonight apart from that

He did and it looked deliberate to me. We would have been screaming for a red card had it been the other way about. It also took my mind off Fountains missed header from the cross, horrendous!

I thought McGregor had a really solid game too - I'm surprised he's getting low marks from anyone.

I've also had a wee nosey on Rangers Media from time to time over the past few days and they seemed to think his pace, mobility and fitness were issues behind him being emptied at Rangers. Well he looked fit enough to me, did a great job of motoring up and down that line. I thought his fitness levels put a few others to shame to be honest but I suppose that's another story.

I went on a wee holiday to the West Stand tonight so didn't see any elbow whatsoever. The ref and linesman missed the most blatant tug on a player from Fyvie during the first half that I have ever seen though - right in front of them both too. The Stranraer player was absolutely raging and rightly so! Hilarious.

Oxley and mcgeouch 7
McGinn, Fontaine, hanlon 6
Cummings 4
Rest 5s.

Reading this was genuinely better than the game tonight.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Oxley ............. 8 .......... Very little to do, but when he did he pulled off a world class save.

McGregor ..... 6 .... Got up and down pretty well and tried hard ... Should have been sent off no doubt about it.

Hanlon ........ 6 ..... solid under little pressure

Fontaine ....... 6 ..... Same as Hanlon, won pretty well every ball that came his way.

Stevenson ...... 5 .... His inability to get past his man at this level doesn't help the forwards one bit.

McGinn .....6 ...... Played pretty well, neat and tidy.

Fyvie........6 ...... He wasn't very affective, but he certainly doesn't hide, was on the ball constantly in the first half.

McGeough ...... 7 ...... The pick of the midfield, but I cant understand why he was so deep all the time when he is the one midfielder capable of bursting into the box with the ball.

Henderson .... 5 .... I was looking to him as the player who might have the guile to unlock their back line .... he wasn't, he did ok, but just ok.

Boyle ..... 5 ...... Pretty anonymous really.

Cummings ..... 6 ...... He sometimes dithers a bit and loses chances as a result, but the lack of service to him was evident, how can you score without service, unless you are Leigh Griffiths ... which he aint.

Subs:

Carmichael ..... 5 .... Just like Stevenson he didn't beat his man and kept turning into the midfield, losing any momentum we may have gained.

Keatings ...... 4 .... No time to make an impact.

[fulshie]

Goalie and defence played well but only tested once (great save). Midfield so-so (McGeoch standout, Henderson needs to get into gym). Cummings did okay. Sum up, deserved to win but didn't create enough chances v's possession we had.

[Septimus]

The goal came from a cut back from the bye line. We need more wing play to get through these packed defences.
