Callum McGregor and Liam Scales at Easter Road.
OF JUSTICE – 7/10 – The Barndarigg Beckenbauer got so comfortable in his zone that he even found time to mime a chicken impersonation for watching Hearts players. Unfortunately the MIBs took offence and awarded a penalty for…wingball? Nothing Liam could do about the nonsensical zombiery but plenty he did do for the ninety plus with classic Ginger Baresi positioning and timely ball-winning.

CRUSTY THE CLOWN – 7/10 – A bit quieter than of late as his run of consecutive games threatens to equal the number of days of the week your average Zombie is ragin’. Had his hands full with brawn and pace seeking disruption. But his stoical nature compliments (FELLOW LEFTY, BRENDAN!) Liam’s more risque approach and allows the two to blend well, especially under repeating pressure when reorganisation and focus demands in-the-moment flexibility.

CALMAC – 7/10 – Orchestrator, firestarter, security chief. A fatigued Calmac got the job over the line by half-time with bright and brisk midfield domination, pinning Hibs back in their cage after their rabid-dugs start to the match. Probably a little annoyed the game wasn’t done and dusted by the break, knowing the inevitable wear and tear may take its toll. But he held his head high and held his team together.

THE TERMINATOR – 8/10 MOTM – Boy’s growing balls. And heading them. Concurrent with Rotterdam, Arne stayed in the groove and maintained a perfect parallel with Calmac to seize the game by the throat for long enough to damage them fatally. Aside from scoring a spectacular winner with a brave stooping header from a beautifully-timed burst into the box, his (HOLDING MIDFIELDER, BRENDAN!) overall competitiveness gave us disruption, dynamism and just enough of an edge to take the three points.
