***The Official Manchester United v Rangers Thread***

[sneddon 6]

we need to attack them from the word go

might put the shitters up them

[AyeReadyStu 70]

I just hope we don't get humped, but we'll be facing an angry Man U side with a point to prove

[Muff 245]

I think Walter Smith will start Naismith and Lafferty wide, McCulloch, Edu, Davis in the middle and Miller up on his own, especially if Whittaker is out.

He may even play Davis wide right with Naismith in the middle.

Weiss will come on as a sub around the 65th minute.

You don't start James Beattie, because he can't even handle Hamilton and Lafferty should be nowhere near the team.

[Goianegra 4,682]

He dives to the left

He dives to the right

Wayne Rooney

Pays 12 hundred a night

Hopefully we can get at the Man Utd defence at some point during the game, they looked shaky today and Ferdinand will just be back from injury.

A draw is our best chance of a result if I'm honest

Wouldn't it be magic to have the CL team of 1992 in this battle of brittain? Ally&hateley & co

I reckon that team would fair much better than the current lot. We'd prob be looking for all 3 points if we had that team

[Allanger 625]

I know that realistically we could be on to a hiding but I can't wait for this game . As they say football is a funny old game.

If we had the 92/93 side I'd be expecting 6 points . But we were the best team in Britain back then, no doubt about it

What we'll see:

:mcculloch:

:davis: :edu: :lafferty:

:miller:

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

If Foster starts, which he will, be very very afraid.

Come on give him a chance

[Papa Sasac 164]

If he was nervous about a game at Accies, how the hell will he cope at Old Trafford. For the first time ever, I hope Whittaker plays in the Champs League.

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

If Lafferty starts ahead of Weiss then I will jump off a bridge

[Papa Sasac 164]

Lafferty will start, I'm pretty sure of that.

[Adam 0]

I can't wait!!! All my mates are Utd fans (i live in Manchester)

Id like to see a 4231 formation, keep it solid and try and make it as difficult as possible for them to break us down. Hit them on the break and GIRU United fans

Just as long as we don't lie down and easily concede then i'll be happy - if they are gonna score lets make them work as hard as they can to do so! That's what I say, and I reck that's what Walter will be telling his players before the game!

MON THE GERS!!!!

I wouldnt be surprised if we took something from this game. I have a gut feeling about it dunno why. Also, we always seem to start off well in the CL, think back to previous campaigns and I can only think of two times, Valencia 1999 and Grasshoppers 1996 when we have lost on the opening match.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,545]

the thought of ANY of man uniteds wide men getting the ball and running at foster/whittaker/broadfoot/papac (delete as applicable) is scaring me, and god help davie if rooney and co get a run on him as well

[BR_54 15]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo buzzed for this!

I have a good feeling about this game, too.

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

Despite our defensive concerns,I still think a draw is realistic. Just got a feelin

[Clemdog 39,389]

I think Walter might go with this :

:mcgregor:

:whittaker: :weir: :bougherra: :papac:

:davis: :edu: :mcculloch: :weiss:

:miller:

Naismith pushing up behind Kenny when we have the ball, and floating about the place when we don't have it. Just trying to be a general nuisance and pressuring United's players.

[scotty657 1]

I'm rather optimistic tbh.

1-1.

[Papa Sasac 164]

I just hope Utd don't come out all guns blazing, and we shite ourselves

[bluenose_72 198]

If Weiss doesn't start

[WVB 2,560]

This game is going to be painful.

[Guest SandyIniesta-Nordahl]

I will seek counselling if Weiss doesn't start.
