We're on our annual trip to Inverinate on the banks of Loch Duich, so it will be bus into town, few pints and then bus back out (fingers crossed anyway).

chuckberryno1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Not only our record, but our pefomances in Glasgow have been extremly poor over the last few years, I think we didnt even manage a shot on target in the 0-2 defeat last year, coming after the 0-4 at Parkhead. We do seem to have a mental block, as lesser teams in the SPL can even manage to put up a fight. This is the best time to get Rangers, however I cannot see anything other than a 2/3- 0 Rangers, with us having been in thier half twice and managed 1 shot and 2 corners in the whole match. I hope I am wrong, and Hearts go with a positive attitude and a spring in thier step, but we do seem to go to castle greyskull already beat. I.m gonna put a bet on 3-1 Hearts now.

Snake Plissken Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I was going to suggest a cheeky wee bet on Jamie Hamill scoring as he's done so on day one for the last three seasons when I remembered that he's suspended. We're pish in Glasgow, I'll take a 0-0 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praha06 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I may well wager on 2-1 Hearts but I cant see us score any more than that and we will struggle to keep them out for the whole match. If we are going to win then it will be 2-1. If we get a penalty then you can bank on Jamie Hamill taking it if on the pitch. Jamie can be spot on for Hearts Edit: Except he is suspended.

Debut 4 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Think i`ll just wait and see what we come up with. We know Rangers will be up for it at home, unfurling the flag etc... and one thing that is often missed by some of our own fans and is a backhanded complement , the Old Firm raise their game against us imo. And we struggle to handle that sometimes. That`s the test for us. If there are any weaknesses in Rangers , we must spot them early and go for it. They are going to come out the traps and try and put a show on for their fans to help them forget a poor pre season so far. If Templeton is fit i`d like to see him being fed alot to go at Whittaker whom he skinned rotten the last time we played there, albeit for the first half hour before our collapse. Spot where we can get at them and be brave. Two of the best OF performances were against us last season, in my opinion. We didn`t turn up for the 4-0 at Parkhead but i never seen Celtic play so intensely in many other games. And Rangers 2-1 win at Tynie. You could even chuck in our 1-0 win over Rangers where they came at us in droves in the first half. They raise their game for us and we need to make sure we are aware of that.

jambonian Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's only Monday, i'll worry about it on Saturday. This might be the best time to get them, not so much for what they do, more for if our players can actually rise to the occasion for once given our track record through there, i believe they're beat before they go on the pitch, wouldn't be so bad if Rangers were a decent side but they're gash, time the players went there with that attitude. Until Saturday, i'm not even thinking about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckberryno1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 For me the 1-0 win at Tynie was very lucky, we should have been soundly beaten that day. You can mention brave defending, goal keeping, etc: but we should have been humped, and when speaking to Rangers fans after that win, they could not believe how bad Hearts were. 1-2 against Gers we did play well, and I agree that the old firm to play better against us and we sometimes can't cope with that. I just cannot see us winning at Ibrox, even although this might be our best chance to do so, I do not think we have the mental strength against Rangers, although we have shown it against Celtic in s few fixtures. We just seem to have a mental block against Rangers, the performances and results show that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid A Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If there's ever been a chance to beat a weak Rangers side then this is it now. Unfortunately our defence is... questionable. With Hammil out i think JJ will sadly put Jonsson at RB ... I think i would actually prefer Barr to play there. If Webster is unfit then i expect either Barr or Jonsson, whoever isn't RB will play there, unless Mrowiec slots in. Zaliukas and Wallace hopefully fit! Midfield i expect (not what i would choose) to be Templeton, Stevenson, Black and Taoiul. If Rudi signs i'm sure he'll be in there somewhere. Sutton and Elliott up front.

Praha06 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 If Webster doesn't make it then who do we stick in alongside Zaliukas? This is what is worrying me greatly at this moment in time. Jefferies was quoted yesterday as saying he feels Hearts are ready for the Rangers match on Saturday, I bloody hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieMitch Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Given their pre-season I wonder if this is actually a bad time to get them. They've been guff - not scoring at all in Germany for example. The Gers mates I work with were getting a wee bit nervy until they finally beat Linfield at the weekend. They have something to prove to the fans and I think the McCoist factor is a big one - there will be a huge reception for him there. That said - I like Sutton's chances against that defence!

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 JJ should do what he done against them in January 5 man defence of Mroweic Webster Wallace Grainger McGowan keep it tight for as long as we can , might have to play counter attacking first half then have a real go second the longer the game stays 0-0 ally will get more worried get a late goal to stick it to them i think we have to start with Kello Barr Zaliukas McGowan Grainger Black Mroweic Wallace Templeton Taouil Sutton . Changed your mind pretty quickly didn't you? For what it's worth though, Wallace playing right wing? We had enough of playing players out of position last year, we want to try and avoid that this year. As for your first point about the 5 man defence. If I've remembered right, both times we went with a 5 man back line against them last season we got beat (2-1 at Tynie and 1-0 at Ibrox). When we beat them 1-0, I'm sure we changed from 4-5-1 to a tight 4-4-2 and it worked a treat. The back line you suggested wouldn't work anyway, there's no right back.
