Jacob Devaney

The Irish midfielder has impressed during his loan spell with St Mirren.

He particularly stood out in matches against Celtic and has spoken of how he wants a chance on the summer tour to show the first team what he is capable of. Devaney continued to help his chances of making this a reality by grabbing an assist in St Mirren’s 2-0 win over Aberdeen.

The United man was released down the wing from a quick free kick and he fired a sublime ball into the box that was tapped in by Richard King. The youngster also had one key pass in the match and completed 100% of his cross attempts.

The 18-year-old completed 100% of his dribble attempts in the game and 83% of his overall passes.

He helped out defensively, making three interceptions and two clearances to help his side to a clean sheet.

Devaney also won three of his six duels in the match.

He will be in action again on Sunday afternoon against Dundee United.

Enzo Kana-Biyik

The young French star has really struggled on loan at FC Lausanne-Sport.

He has only scored one goal during the entire season and has made little contribution to the Swiss side’s season.

The striker has been injured since the 15th March but made his return from the bench against Servette.

Kana-Biyik did not manage any shots on goal or a key pass during his limited time on the pitch.

He also completed just 50% of his passes and failed to win a duel or a tackle in a quiet showing.

Lausanne will next be in action at home to Grasshoppers on Saturday evening.
