A number of players have been criticised for their performances. But one of those who received a lot of praise was Patterson.

There are serious concerns about a number of areas within Steven Gerrard’s side.

They have not made the best start to their Scottish Premiership title defence. And of course, no fan needs no reminding of what game lies this coming weekend.

But Patterson has proved to be a shining light for many. He looked confident in possession and linked up well with Ianis Hagi at times throughout the contest.
