WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I think that we need one or both back in contention for the final. Waghorns movement and goals are missing and not having Forrester reminds me of earlier in the season when Holt was out injured. Weve seen Rangers teams after clinching titles dropping off in the past however there is no magic switch to get energy levels and form back on track. Having said that these two could significantly change our energy levels and play. Hibs as much as they tend to bottle it also tend to cause us problems which means we need to be at the levels we were for our game at Ibrox in December, the SC match v Dundee and our victory in the SF against the mhanks.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Feel Waghorn will 99% be playing in the final, Forrester might be close but with that type of injury there is no set timeline. Would love them both to be available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Waghorn may play at the weekend but I fear Harry has no chance of playing in the final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrester holt and Halliday would complete the midfield but I really can't see Harry being back in time and even if in contention he won't start unfortunately. however what we will have on the day assuming no other injuries or suspensions is more than capable of beating hibs.....but it would be nice to rub their faces in it.

Heard somewhere it's 6-8 weeks recovery for his injury, time the final comes round he'll have been out for about 6, so I'll keep the fingers crossed on that one.

dan_ger 1,454 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Can't see Harry playing. Surely that's a 6 week healing process? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson83 1,059 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 We need waggy back think warbs will be planing the game without Harry can't see him making that one. Can see with warbs with Celtic game he will not rush anybody no matter the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa6995 3,644 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It already took Forrester a number of weeks to get up to match sharpness I dont think its worth the risk even if he was physically fit, no room for passengers on 21st May.

BridgeIsBlue 66,604 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Forrester has 0% chance of playing again this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 792 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Either of them returning will be great. Both have the enthusiasm and drive to pull us forwards into opposition boxes, something that is lacking too often at the moment. Encamping outside the box and rarely taking long shots is what's costing us in the last few games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Would have thought that Forrester has no chance of making the final. Even if the break is healed he cannot be match fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Good chance Wagy's in - but shame but Harry's no going to make it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm sure Waghorn will be playing, but not so sure about Forrester. It may be sad for him, but if there's any doubt at all, don't play him. We can beat hivs if everyone concentrates on their job no problem at all. Plus, I'd like to be certain of having Forrester fit and playing from the beginning next season. I think Michael Mols only had a hair line fracture, but that effectively was the end of his career. Don't take the chance with Harry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyruff 622 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Would love them both to be back. However, also remember MW's statement that it's important to get them properly fit rather than rushing them back for a specific game. With that in mind I think Waggy has a chance, but sadly for Harry it'll be too soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 516 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Forrester has to be a serious doubt but given that the manager said in a recent interview that Waghorn was "disgusted" not to be in the running at Livingston I'm confident he will at least have a seat on the bench to start against St Mirren and has to be given a run at some point. He will be at a minimum on the bench for the cup final too and despite all the gloom and doom over recent performances I'm still confident we will take the Scottish cup with relative ease. Scottish cup final at Hampden with a Euro spot at stake bears no comparison to a Tuesday night away match at Livingston with nothing of any consequence to play for. At the end of the day we have been a better team than them from the first kick of the season and that hasn't suddenly changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE 4,880 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The hat said 6 weeks for Forrester and that would make it around the final. Probably sound moany but he maybe shouldn't be throwing his crutches away so often or it'll be longer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 We desperately need both of them back. Waggy will start, and I'd like to think he'll give us a boost on the pitch that we've been lacking in the past few games. Forrester getting a place on the bench would do me and give him a 30 minute cameo at the end of the game. He could torment Hibs if he's on his game (but he won't be match fit).

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Would be very unlikely to have Forrester back, Waghorn should be fine, although my only concern is that he has been 'ready for the next game' for a couple of weeks now.

I think if it were up to him he would have been in a couple of weeks ago but for whatever reasons the manager decided against it. I think he must know within himself if he is ready and he must get some sort of run at St Mirren. He has been so eager recently it will be interesting to see how he goes at it. He's like a coiled spring waiting to be released right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
