Hearts player ratings in extra-time Scottish Cup final loss to Rangers

Hearts player ratings in extra-time Scottish Cup final loss to Rangers

Craig Gordon 9

Stunning performances have become the norm. While he was on the losing side the keeper was superb again at Hampden. Denied Kent twice and a ridiculous stop from Aribo but had no chance with the goals.

Stephen Kingsley 7

Assured in defence but limited in his influence going forward. Composed on the ball and when defending.

John Souttar 8

He’s heading to Rangers in the summer, but was magnificent against them in his final Hearts appearance. A towering performance throwing his body on the line throughout.

Craig Halkett 7

Part of a solid back-three for the majority of the afternoon. Barely put a foot wrong and was commanding in his own penalty box winning everything.

Alex Cochrane 6

A decent showing at wing-back but limited offensively. Managed Tavernier and Diallo well enough but Wright caused problems.

Nathaniel Atkinson 6

A really tough afternoon with Kent and Bassey constantly flying forward, but stood up to the test. Did everything he could to try and drive his side forward.

Peter Haring 6

Battled all afternoon in the middle of the park. A warrior for the Hearts team but couldn’t dictate play or really get a foothold on the game.

Cameron Devlin 6

Relentless pressing and effort in the engine room but again struggled to show his creativity or attacking play as Rangers after break.

Barrie McKay 5

Much quieter than he’d have liked. Has bags of ability but wasn’t able to show it at Hampden.

Ellis Simms 6

Effective in the first-half winning headers and holding the ball up well. Inches away from opener with sliding effort off post after ten minutes.

Liam Boyce 6

Fit enough to start and gave everything until his substitution. Some tidy period of play but unable to find a clear chance for himself.

Andy Halliday (for Boyce, 76) 4

On for closing stages and extra-time.

Josh Ginnelly (for McKay, 82) 4

Industrious but lacked service.

Gary Mackay-Steven (for Cochrane, 100) 3

Quiet in his cameo.

Aaron McEneff (for Devlin, 105) 3

On for final minutes
