LIVINGSTON Roddy McKenzie 6 Couldn't be blamed for any of goals as Hearts kept coming at him in waves.

Scott Boyd 6 Kid toiled initially against free-moving Jambos but settled in as game went on. Dave Mackay 6 Forced fine save from Gordon but spent most of his time defending desperately. Manu Dorado 6 Didn't stop running or tackling but like rest of team was overwhelmed in first half.

Richard Brittain 5 Booked for early foul on Skacel and had work cut out with Czech all afternoon.
