Michael Appleton’s side were the better team for much of the game, especially during the first-half where they created three or four good chances and limited the Gers to very little.
But it was the Scottish giants who emerged victorious, claiming a 2-1 victory in front of a packed Bloomfield Road.

7. Sonny Carey - 8/10
Squandered a presentable early chance but impressed again. Got himself into some great forward positions. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
8. MAN OF THE MATCH: Keshi Anderson - 8/10
Showed some really promising link-up signs with Carey. Skillful on the ball with some neat footwork added in. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
9. Josh Bowler - 7/10
Back to his best in attack with his trademark mazy runs. But defensively poor and should have done better for the two goals. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
10. CJ Hamilton - 6/10
Defended well, but lacked quality on the ball especially with his final delivery. Pulled out of a couple of 50/50 challenges too. Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
11. Gary Madine - 7/10
Provided a strong aerial presence at both ends of the pitch. Occupied defenders and won his fair share of flick-ons. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
12. Off the bench
Beryly Lubala and Jerry Yates performed well off the bench, combining for Blackpool's late goal. It was also good to get a glimpse of new signing Lewis Fiorini and trialist Grant Ward, who both got some minutes late on. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
