Scottish Cup final ratings - who was the hero & who was left in tears?

So Aberdeen have triumphed in a gripping Scottish Cup final and Celtic are left to rue missing out on a treble. But who stood out and who faded away at Hampden?

BBC Sport Scotland's Tyrone Smith rates how the players performed, and you can see how the audience rated them at the bottom of the page too.

Dimitar Mitov: The busier of the two keepers, without having a huge amount to do until pulling off two decisive penalty saves to become the hero - 8

Alexander Jensen: Had the unenviable task of trying to keep Daizen Maeda quiet, and stuck to it well - 7

Mats Knoester: Again, a pretty solid display in the heart of defence. Did everything that was asked of him - 7

Alfie Dorrington: The own goal was a significant black mark against his name in what was an otherwise reasonably solid display - 6

Jack Milne: After being pitched in to a the heart of the defence on the biggest of stages, the young men gave a fine performance – 8

Nicky Devlin: Acquitted himself well in an unfamiliar left-sided defensive role - 7

Graeme Shinnie: A hard shift in the engine room as Aberdeen tried to keep Callum McGregor quiet, and set his side on the way in the shoot-out - 6

Leighton Clarkson: When Aberdeen had the ball, the onus was on players like him to deliver, but he struggled as a creative force - 6

Ante Palaversa: Worked hard in the centre of midfield, was pretty disciplined, but the attacking side of his game was rarely seen. Scored his penalty - 6

Topi Keskinen: Was very much on the periphery of the game so it wasn't a surprise he was replaced early in the second half - 6

Kevin Nisbet: Rarely seen as an attacking force, was barely in the game with most of the play behind him - 6

Subs

Pape Habib Gueye: Gave the Celtic defence plenty to think about with his raw physicality – 7

Shayden Morris: Made an instant impact with his goal, however fortunate it was, and gave Aberdeen a real out ball - 8

Dante Polvara: Brought some welcome energy and strength to the team when he came on and scored in the shoot-out– 6

Oday Dabbagh: Was well marshalled by the Celtic defence - 5

Jack MacKenzie: Pretty resolute after he was introduced from the bench - 6

Kasper Schmeichel: A virtual spectator for large spells, but was horribly at fault for Aberdeen's equaliser. Unable to save any of Aberdeen's penalties - 6

Alistair Johnston: Didn't have much to do defensively but struggled to use his front-foot abilities and missed the decisive spot-kick - 7

Cameron Carter-Vickers: Had very little to do, but what he did do he did well, and had part to play in Dorrington's own goal – 7

Liam Scales: A relatively quiet afternoon for the defender, who was occasionally put under pressure on Aberdeen's rare forays forward - 7

Greg Taylor: Fairly quiet defensively, but he did what was asked of him with the usual assuredness and also went close with a couple of decent efforts in what might be his final game for the club- 7

Callum McGregor: The Celtic captain didn't exert the influence we have come to expect and missed the first penalty before ending the game in tears - 7

Arne Engels: Despite seeing an effort hit a post, the Belgian was another player who struggled exert any significant influence in to the game - 6

Paulo Bernardo: Like some of his team-mates, he found Aberdeen difficult to unlock - 6

Nicolas Kuhn: With Aberdeen setting out to frustrate Celtic, he struggled to exert the influence he would have been hoping to do on a big stage like this - 6

Adam Idah: Struggled to get any chance out of the Aberdeen defence, who dealt with his physical threat comfortably - 6

Daizen Maeda: Cut a frustrated figure at times and missed a glorious chance to win it in stoppage-time. Scored his penalty - 6

Subs

Yang Hyun-Jun: Struggled to make an impact - 6

Luke McCowan: Like so many of his team-mates, he found Aberdeen hard to unlock after he came off the bench – 6

James Forrest: Looked lively in flashes after coming on, but wasn't on the pitch long enough make an impact after being forced to go off injured - 6

Johnny Kenny: Didn't make much of an impact after coming on but did score his penalty - 6

Jeffrey Schlupp: Looked a threat on the left and was unlucky to be denied by the woodwork - 6
