***** Official Heart of Midlothian v Rangers Match Thread *****

[Sooperstar]

We won't get 90 out of Smith and Devlin. Robbie won't want to leave Simms out for 90. He will want to give Souttar and Halkett a decent run out, maybe 45 minutes. We will see plenty changes today.

No danger are Souttar or Halkett starting next week. Halliday won’t start if we have Haring and Devlin in the middle. Atkinson will potentially come in for Smith but him starting today makes me think he’ll start next week. 

 

If Souttar and Halks come through today I expect both to start. Atkinson is a cert IMO.

[OmiyaHearts]

We have a full week to prepare for the final. 90 mins for anyone won't impact their fitness for the final.

 

Glad we're playing a strong team. Always said we should play our strongest team every game post split.

[Chong]

Halks on the bench, good to see the big man.

 

injury free 90 minutes please

 

'Mon the Hearts

[Shooter McGavin]

A stronger side than I thought we’d put out to be honest, can only imagine that there will be plenty of subs.

[Halliphax]

Can you imagine the pelters Robbie would get if Simms or Kingsley get injured today

Agree re Atkinson.

 

Actually I agree on all points!

Massive risk today for a nothing game.

Any of our starting 11 get injured today then Neilson will get slaughtered.

 

[Penrices left boot]

Ranger youth and reserves bursting a gut to try and impress. 

 

A recipe for "over enthusiasm" and a misplaced tackle.

I’d say Simms is a gamble. Lose him and we’re fecked next week. We can juggle just about anyone else if we really do have a fully fit squad

Could be that we are just getting him to tick over and keep his eye in ready for next week. He won’t play the full 90 

[Saint Jambo]

Rangers reserves, but still have a single player on the pitch who earns more than our entire team combined. Crazy.

[dougal]

Is it possible that we might have a closed doors game lined up on Tuesday or so to give some of the guys returning from injury another run out before the cup final?? 

[neilnunb]

Rangers still with a strong midfield and Arfield there to kick shit out anything that moves.

[Chillidigits]

Nervy afternoon ahead for both camps. Ideally both clubs could put their ladies teams out, or under 18's or under 12's or under anything. or mysterious lurgy decimates both teams and game is cancelled followed by miraculous recovery on Monday.

True, just hope there plenty rotation in the squad

[heartsfc_fan]

Not worried. Get a win and a moral boost for next weekend.

We can use 5 subs so plenty rotation.

Robbie just said there's a bounce game on Tuesday.

[HeartsandonlyHearts]

The only name on that team sheet that I am  actually happy to see is Sibbick.

I wish it was a team of “no clues”

[VALDOS']

Given the line ups I'd expect a decent result, but I'm also expecting a key player will get injured for the final, it's just how football works unfortunately.

[Harry Potter]

Cmon Hearts.

[Mr Rabbit]

Any streams?

[Japan Jambo]

Looks like we are going for this judging by that lineup

[jambopilms]

To be fair, everyone of their second string would be a starter for us.

[GavK1012]

I am petrified re CG...I wouldn't have had him anywhere near the team today...if he picks up an injury today, I don't think I can face the consequences next week....

 

Please Lord, keep him fit!!! 

[jr ewing]

Someone needs to tell Mark Martin to turn the f### volume down.

That's good. Give the likes of Soutar and Halkett some time today and another run out on Tuesday. Hopefully get them up to speed for the weekend.

[...andFulton'sBaggio]

Strong team. First choice front three. Maybe Robbie wants to repeat what we did against Hibs - beat em at home then beat em at Hampden!

This game could be anything.

Exactly. 🤔

So called Hearts fans tripping over themselves to suck the Newco ******.
Makes me cringe.

use your season ticket hearts pass to watch on hearts tv

[Riccarton3]

Probably wouldn't have played Simms or Gordon. Not with Balogun charging about re Simms and any freak collision could occur with Gordon. I can't fully understand his team selection esp if the game isn't going Rangers way. Shouldn't have to be taking such risks imo.

[Fire_At_The_Disco]

Any links?

I’m already having a hard time taking this serious.

[HeartsandonlyHearts]

Boyce once again with another poor decision. I hope he’s playing today in an attempt to get all his $#!t out of his system.

[Clark Griswold]

Boyce hurt

[Francis Albert]

Boyce hurt - groin.
