Ah fair enough, i thought he only stepped in temporarily rather than doing a qualifications or whatever. Still, in the modern day the Scottish job is an almost impossible task for any manager. I think our FA is probably a big part of that though, it's hard to blame the manager for what they have to work with. I don't like Levein but i wouldn't judge him on his time at Scotland at all.

After all the game will suit Levein's negative approach. Are our defence good enough to keep out Defoe and Morelos? I don’t think so personally. and at the other end we can’t score.

Nothing wrong with being hopeful but even if they all miraculously made the game I doubt we are finely tuned enough or in a rhythm to a level we could dominate Rangers. I fear we are just going to be a barrier with competing being the dish of the day for us rather than anything of substance in an attacking sense.

Any of the players returning from injury aren't going to be match fit but they will hopefully still give the other players a lift. I'll take a scrappy, offside, 95th minute goal in a 1-0 victory.
