The versatile 21-year-old, who joined the Blues on a season-long loan deal from Rangers in the summer, captained the young Scots in the stalemate at Tynecastle.

The Scot has been used in that role for Scot Gemmill’s under-21s previously and has played in that position under Pompey boss Kenny Jackett this season.
