PromDeAnglais 5,446 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Always wanted to start one of these Scottish Cup 5th round. Saturday 06/02, 12:30 kick off. Ibrox Stadium Sky Sports 1. Tickets: £19 Available: http://www.rangers.co.uk/tickets We're going in to this on the back of 3 clean sheets, having only conceded 2 goals in 2016 thus far. Compare that to Killie who shipped 9 goals in January, keeping only 1 clean sheet in the process (against St. Johnstone in the previous round). You can see why Rangers fans will be feeling confident of progression in to the quarter finals. Form Guide (Last 5) Rangers: WWWWW Goals For: 13 Goals Against: 2 Killie: DWWLL Goals For: 6 Goals Against: 9 Not expecting too many changes from MW, O'Halloran and King are both cup tied. Holt still not fit enough to play against Raith and not expected to start. Jig will be in the dug-out for Killie after Gary Locke got sacked after the 1-0 defeat to Hamilton last weekend. My prediction: 3-1 Rangers. No rounds of applause for ex players until we've dumped them out please... Drunk and disorderly., allgers, KeyserSoze and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobham 1,569 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Huge game for us, been looking forward to this for ages! We need a big performance, hopefully Holt is back also!! Team for me.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 No passengers in this game. Zelalem on the bench and hopefully have Holt back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 A scrappy one nil win in this would do me but a good victory would be nice. Foderingham Tav Kiernan Wilson Wallace Halliday Ball Holt Forrester Waghorn McKay. Might be a bit to early for Forrester to start but I would like to see Miller used for the last half hour of games.

Two 1-0 results tells me the defence and midfield are doing the business on the pitch. I don't remember Raith having one good chance last night. These are just results you need to grind out to win a championship, forgetful but essential. One thing that can be improved is our decision making in the final third, too many times last night we looked like we were breaking then the tempo would slow right outside Raiths penalty area and result in us passing it back to our defence, improve on that and we'll be laughing.

Thats been an issue against several teams that play 10 men behind the ball. Killie won't do that... and their defenders are pish (well, in any highlights on a Sunday night I have seen). This could be a high scoring game for Rangers IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 34,990 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 As every team in Scotland does they will raise their game 10fold against us regardless of how pish theyve been. Need to be on song. If we play like we did against Hibs we could score 5 or 6. Hoping for an easy afternoon but I think in the end it'll be 3-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,109 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 if we're on form we win I don't think Killie are as good a side as Hibs tbh but we'll need to be a bit sharper than we have been last couple of weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCRobertson 11,705 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Am looking forward to it, my mate n I are going to it then getting a drink after it. Should be a good day Think we're going into this game really strong, although we've only had 2 goals in the last 2 games, we've still won them both. At that we've misses a vital player or two and been inducting a new player into our ranks. Our defense right now is spot on, Kiernan solid as always, Wilson is a little shaky yet but he can have golden moments. Foddy is a great keeper that is still switched on despite not seeing much of the ball. For me, the line up would be Wes Tav Kiernan Wilson Wallace Holt Law Haliday Mckay Miller Waghorn Subs would be Shiels on for Law O'halloran on for Miller King on for McKay Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluchoo 846 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Id take the scrappy 1-0..as i think they will keep tight, stay deep, try to frustrate us and hope to nick a goal. but i hope they do the opposite, try and come at us and make a game of it...if they do we could score 3 or 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 33,998 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm praying Holt is fit. I like Ball, but looks a fish out of water in midfield - our style requires someone more dynamic, who offers more than just the defensive side of things. Also, don't think we'll steamroll Killie like some are suggesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Ball in there gives Halliday an attacking role, plus Ball can drop back when Tav and Wallace are bombing forward Blumhoilann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,430 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hopefully Law & Holt are back in the team. Our midfield is never the same without that pairing and the team suffers. Going for a 4-1 if they 2 make it. 2-1 if either of them is missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
