Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Well as title states, pre season is now complete and it's down to business next saturday. Warburton has a lot to think of in terms of what he needs, starting 11's etc but assuming nobody is signed before Accies and having seen all games apart from the charleston match I would be starting next Saturday with: Wes- Time to prove your number 1 Tav, Wilson, Hill, Wallace Barton Rossiter Windass MOH Waghorn Mckay Think Krancjar will be a great impact player coming on until fully fit. Feel moh has earned a start ahead of Miller The team above is how I see it but Halliday seems to be in favour. Chances of getting that team, not great.

graeme_4 34,365 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 After Hill's performance today I don't think he should be near the first 11 at the weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz 78 918 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 MOH and Rossiter should definitely start next week both looked good when they came on. Hill and Kiernan the least said about them the better, we need to get the finger out and sign a CB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately need a big solid cetre half, preferably one that's a lot more mobile than Clint. The defence improved when Wilson came on and is indicative of Clint's performance. Burnley were way more fit than Rangers and it really showed in the opening half hour. If McParland knows some one suitable we should be pursuing him double quick. Mariappa may be waiting for us to go back to him with a better offer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also been favoured playing nearly every minute. The other options are all better players than him, in my view, I've not been impressed by him this season. We strolled past part time times and in the two tests Motherwell and Burnley he never delivered anywhere near a good enough performance. It's a week to go until our first game and he looked our best midfielder by a mile today. I think he's earned a start next weekend, he certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped.

It could just be at 3-0 up and cruising, they took their foot off the pedal and allowed us to play that made Wilson look good?. Both Wilson and Kiernan have looked suspect all last season, though Hill is not someone I would have signed, Kiernan looks to be the root of most of the errors whether its defending or passing the ball out of defence. You could have a point in Wilson but you would have to pair him with another, but with no money to spend we might not get anybody better than what is already here.

Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Wes Tavernier, Kiernan, Wilson, Wallace Rossiter Barton , Halliday O'Halloran , Waghorn, McKay Windass (if fit ) in place of Rossiter with Joey dropping to CDM , with Nico coming on at 60 mins. Think MW will start with Nico though . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Cannot wait. Simply cannot wait. We've been waiting a very long time to regain our rightful place. Nothing but winning the league will do here. We MUST win #55 now. Winning our first year back will send a massive statement of intent for the next decade.

Not Mr Rangers's biggest fan, but I have to say he was far better than Nico, who looked flat & uninterested,while Barton came out 2nd best in way more challenges than he should have.

He hasn't stood out during a single game. Today was his 'best' game purely because everyone else was unfit. If he must start it should be purely until everyone else is fit then dropped to the bench. He isn't good enough to be a midfield starter in a team chasing the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think Barton was as bad as some are making out. He was clearly unfit but he still showed what a defensive midfielder should be doing many enough today IMO. Rossiter should be starting next week in the DM position next week. Looks fitter and hungrier than anyone based on his performances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced Barton and Rossiter will ever start together so Halliday for Rossiter and Kieran for Hill for me. But with the depth in the squad there are real options - only prediction - double subs around 60min ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
