I’d start with Clark Kingsley Kent Rowles Natty Grant Beni Neuiwenhof Cochrane Shanks Vargas Plenty options off the bench to change it if it’s not working. 0-0 HT and Hearts to win 1-2. Mon the Gorgie I'd start with similar but swapping Grant for Devlin for the first half. Then plenty of options after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I fear that we might be right in the firing line here. The biggest statement of intent rangers can make in this league right now is to beat us and end our current run. If we are absolutely on it. We can get something. As good as our run is we will need to be a level above where we have been though. No passengers, No loss of concentration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Having thought about it some more, I think this is going to be a really tough task for us. They have just managed to get their noses in front of Celtic. So they will be feeling very good about themselves and they will be desperate to keep it going. Their fans will also be right up for it. Our recent form is not to be sniffed at however. I am very curious to see how we do. We could learn quite a lot about our team on Saturday.

Jambo92 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 What's the stats on number of games vs Rangers that Nick Walsh is the ref? Seems to be him 75% and Beaton the rest. Definitely nothing to see here I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haj Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Do Tavernier early and once he’s off the park they’ll be a rudderless, confused shambles allowing us to put 2 or 3 past them thus initiating an arse collapse akin to their Glasgow brethren which will in turn give us a free passage to romp home to the title. Or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Rangers are a funny team. They aren’t a possession monster and do seem to play more varied and direct at times. Does that suit us? It probably should because we never seem to fare well against Rangers and Celtic sides that overwhelmingly own the ball. We’ve progressed as a side over the months but let’s not get away from the fact you get moments/games in the season that are just that bit more significant and used to really judge how far you’ve came. Naisy will see it like this too. He’ll be thinking of the last time we were there but also the semi final where we didn’t compete when the chips were down. The midfield is the big area, as always. They are playing well and on form- we can’t see that drop away all of a sudden when more courage is asked of us. As ever for me, it’s the performance. There’s no guarantee of a victory but keep giving us wee incremental hopes for the future by improving our quality and guts for the occasion. Build the momentum in performances and belief grows.

Hearts1975 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Zander Kingsley. Kent. Rowles. Atty. Beni. Dev. Cochrane Shanks Forrest. Vargas Sit in, draw them out and hit them on the break ... Let shanks have a free role. He knows where to play. Can't make my mind up between starting Beni or the Hoff. Would Def have dev starting ... Think this game would suit him.

PapaShango Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Not impossible to get a result, but we probably need to play a level above what we have and we can't be off it for an entire half like we were at home to Dundee. If that's the case then we could be done and dusted. There must be confidence in the group and I just want to see another brave performance through in Glasgow and organisation like what we had at Parkhead. You need a near perfect performance with everyone on it and a slice of luck to get a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worry with Cammy starting would be he has only had less than 45 mins in the last three months, in what will probably be a fast paced game. Might be better to hold him back, for the second half to protect our lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if it was Hoff or Devlin lining up a shot, I know which one I would prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought maybe with having the 2 forwards with their pace, and shanks dropping, but at the same time, ready to link play, would cause them problems in behind 3 man midfield would certainly shore up the middle, but maybe at the expense of getting hemmed in a bit too much Will be interesting to see how we set up on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is coming on leaps and bounds, but needs to have that fearless attitude regardless of who we are playing, and impose himself on the game.

BigAlim Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I don’t want us to piss about with the system too much for this game. We’ve got two formations that we switch between and we’ve shown that we can win with both, no need to try anything new when we’re on current form just because it’s Ibrox.

Sevco need a result here. And we know Scottish football operates on the model of the Uglies taking turns to win trophies. Lawwell’s dead hand - apparent in Celtic’s non-appearance in the January transfer window - is viewed in some circles as evidence of this. We’ve seen previously that where Sevco/Rangers need a result, the cowed/bent officials we endure, will oblige. Craig Levein’s rant after his Dundee Utd team were scammed at Ibrox some years back, was an eloquent testimony about all that’s wrong in the Scottish game. But I live in hope. I think we need to score at least two goals, however… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
