John Beaton being given a game at Ibrox where the beleaguered home team desperately needs a win? I’m shocked, I tell you.

This all day long

[ModJambo]

I'll take a point here but think we should really go for it.

[Kiwidoug]

The 3 boys in the Aussie squad might be boost to the team before this game.  Maybe I'm making too much of it but personally, I'm delighted.

How are you leaving Snodgrass out after Sunday? 

3 games in 6 days?

Fair point. But then no games in 35 days and it's not like he has played in the European matches.

I agree mate, strongest team then take the rest 

[Clerry Jambo]

Hearts end sold out

[neilnunb]

Sakala ruled out for them.  Every little helps and all that 🤷‍♂️

Swap Kio for Snoddy and I’m onboard with this team👍. Don’t think you could leave RS out after Sunday 

Absolutely, total brain fart on my part.

Because I flat forgot about him. Snoddy to start instead of Kio.

may as well chuck in a Rangers penalty 🙂 

[upgotheheads]

If games go against us over tonight and tomorrow we could be in seventh place before the Livi game. incredibly tight and I'm hoping for a lot of draws.

[Canscot]

I see the kiss of death has been issued by the board. They say they are backing Gio......for now. 
That is code for “ One more bad result and the axe is falling”. 
Should we win I think he is done. Maybe even a draw might do it as that would put them quite far behind their twins. 

[Bazzas right boot]

Kent and Morelos will score.

Chuck in a likely Tavenier pk as well.

 

Gonna need to at least score 3 or 4 to win.

The logical score prediction is  6-3 Hearts.

[Uncle Buck]

                      Gordon

    Smith Sibbick Rowles Cochrane

        Devlin Snodgrass Halliday

       Ginnelly Shankland McKay

 

Rowles in for Grant is the only change I’d make. I fancy us to get at least a draw here. Bring them on.

[King prawn]

Aberdeen Livingston - draw

Hibs County - county win

Motherwell Celtic - Celtic win

Dundee United Killie - doesn’t matter 

St Mirren St Johnstone - draw

 

 

would be the best set of results for us 

[Life Aquatic]

I'd have been a lot more optimistic about this one had St Johnstone not beaten them... they're coming into this one with something to prove and surely Gio must be feeling the flames under his arse. That being said, this Rangers squad is definitely not worthy of their reputation. Hope we can press them and keep the game fast flowing.

[Hungry hippo]

I'd expect around 3 changes given that was a tough battle on Sunday.

 

I know Mackay has seemed like he'll never be dropped but I think there's a big chance Forrest will start tomorrow.

I think we're going to win this.

 

Just like Villa capitulated to ensure Gerrard went, I feel Rangers could fall apart under this pressure.

 

Or we lose 5-0. One of the two.

PPV £9.99  - for whatever reason I can stream this to my TV but not hesgoal. Don’t like giving the huns money but seeing the jambos on a big screen is my priority!

3 nil Hearts. Shankland 3 x pens. VAR gets some loving

One of my mates is a big Hun fan unfortunately!

He recommended Broomloan Road for away fans, there's parking on the road or wee car parks in businesses in the area some of them may charge a fiver. 

First time Ive drove in so that's where we are heading.

[SMJ_1874]

The Huns will definitely get a penalty with brother Beaton taking the whistle. Get your money on and once again we’re  playing 12 men in the weeg. Why should we be surprised? Our luck has to change one day

and hopefully tomorrow night as It’s the only reason I attend hunbrox and the tattiedome.
 

Be just my luck to miss one and we beat them. Missed the last time we won at smelltic so I force myself to attend due to my blind faith. Please let’s not shit the bed after 5 mins. 

[Guest]

We will probably drop our drawers at Harthill, lose by 3 or 4 and Morelos will score.

 

Hope I'm wrong

[Riccarton3]

Snodgrass key. Needs the space, though. May get some close attention

Edited November 8, 2022 by Riccarton3

[Exile fae Main Street]

Several posters saying Morelos will score Huns will get a Penalty; we'll have a player red-carded.....all correct!

Hope I'm wrong....I usually am where Missus is involved she's ALWAYS right...bit like VAR....wonder how often that'll be in play the morn's night?

If we can win tomorrow we'll go clear in third, only six points of Rangers.

 

Gives us something to play for.

Not particularly, but I'll be delighted to be proved wrong.

[gnasher75]

Win tomorrow. Go third. Only 6 points behind Rangers.

 

Celtic win and Rangers are 10 points behind with a massively inferior goal difference. Title race over.

 

With the quality of our squad and the boys coming back from injury combined with an implosion at Ibrox and second place is a realistic target.

 

Vital that we go there with belief, don't concede in the first half hour, don't give the ref even the glimmer of an opportunity to show a red card.

 

Win. Then follow it up with a really professional performance on Saturday.

And our next 9 league games after that are all very winable

The fact your saying this proves we are a lot more optimistic than usual 

This squad we have is good very good just need to get a settled side formation and we should stroll third or even second

It's funny, it really does feel like both an extreme doing and a comfortable away win are both real possibilities, doesn't it?

Win both, Celtic could very likely horse Rangers on the weekend, and we're 3 out of second.

 

First one's the tricky one, of course. . .

[Life Aquatic]

A win for Hearts and Gio "leaves the club by mutual agreement"

 

*Chefs kiss*

[i8hibsh]

How anyone can see anything other than a defeat (most likely a heavy one) is beyond me.

 

What on earth is going to change tonight? We will shit our pants as per usual. 

 

Will be a waste of petrol money and washing powder as per usual.

I have parked in broomloan road before and getting away afterwards was a nightmare. Paisley Road West is a shout if you are through early enough or if you are ok with a walk, around Bellahouston park area there will be plenty of available parking. ( if you park at that latter after the match you will be quicker jumping on to the m77 northbound then picking up the m8 rather than fighting through the traffic to get on to the m8)

Unlike i8, I'm now seeing us as favourites tomorrow.  This is an awful time for Rangers and we are in a great position to take full advantage.

 

They have been humiliated in Europe, beaten by St Johnstone and barring a miracle have already lost the league.

 

A strong committed perforformance will see us complete an overdue win.

No one outside of Scotland would believe the carve up that hapoens with Scottish referees chosen to referee their favourite teams. Why not the other way around tonight?

Smith first 45 mins at the very most. His legs won’t last 90 through there. Natty to play the full second as MS has played a lot of games recently. Natty offers more going forward but Smith a better defender and reads the game better.

 

Tough call for Robbie as he’ll be wanting to stick the knife in a bit deeper to the Hun. He has to go for the 3 points considering how the games ended in our favour last night.
 

A free hit so let make it count. FTR

The bookies disagree. 

[Marvin]

Hopefully we play to win rather than not to lose. Not sure how we'll be set up but we can take confidence from recent league outings. Reckon it will be 1-1.

Forever the optimist again I see i8. You’ve obviously missed our last 3 games and our injured returning to the ranks that give us some belief, optimism and encouragement. Not to mention the vocal backing from the diehards and foot soldiers who’ll be there regardless of the result.
 

Whilst a I’ll be in attendance along with the other 900, you’ll be able  to make yourself a nice cup of tea with a hobnob  as you sit down to watch your soaps. Watching Hearts isn’t for you these days even though you like to post the odd controversial post or ten these days.

 

Hope Robbie pulls it out tue bag even if to shut you up 👍
