Benjamin Siegrist 6
Generally fared well and made some big saves but poor kicking sold a goal to Morelos in the second half.
Liam Smith 5
Struggled with Rangers’ overload down the left. Never looked entirely comfortable.
Mark Reynolds 6
Solid enough defensively but kept being forced to shell it long to little effect.
Ryan Edwards 6
An unfortunate touch from the defender for Rangers’ second but aside from that, a decent performance overall. Very strong in the air.
Jamie Robson 7
Kept things quiet on his side of the pitch with a disciplined performance. Full-blooded but well-timed tackles.
Callum Butcher 5
Dogged defensive display but struggled to keep up with Aribo.
Ian Harkes 5
Beaten too easily for Hagi’s opener. Didn’t see enough of the ball.
Jeando Fuchs 5
Poor positioning for the first goal and fouled Morelos to give away a penalty.
Nicky Clark 6
Played a little deeper than he would have liked but did well to link the midfield and attack.
Louis Appere 7
Worked tirelessly as he pressed the Rangers backline and went close a couple of times to opening the scoring. Always looked like United’s most likely route to goal.
Lawrence Shankland 5
Missed a gilt-edged chance early on. Offered little else but worked hard.
Substitutes

Made his senior debut by coming off the bench in second-half stoppage time.
In the coming weeks, only subscribers will be able to comment on The National articles. Subscribe now or log in to make sure you stay a part of the conversation.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions. What should we do with our second vote in 2021? What happens if Westminster says no to indyref2?
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversation, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. We’ve had hundreds of emails from you complaining about this, asking us to take steps to ensure that these people aren’t given a platform on our site.
We’re listening to you, and here’s how we plan to make that happen.
We have decided to make the ability to comment only available to our 10,000 paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them.
We’ll be monitoring this change over the first few weeks, and we’re keen to know your thoughts. Email us at letters@thenational.scot if you want to have your say.
