***The Official St. Johnstone vs. The Rangers Thread***

[Creampuff 22,628]

Need a win to boost confidence ahead of Malmo.

Rangers 2-0 St Johnstone

Insha'allah

[GersAvA92 53]

Subs: Alexander, Wallace, Whittaker, Edu, Bendiksen, Healy and Hemmings.

I'd drop Whitt, Edu and Jig as they have simply not been good enough, yeah it's the start of the season but they were as bad in the friendlies as well. Naisy had a hard time against Malmo but I'd put him up there again with Jela, hopefully he can take his chances now.

Broaders is a terrible CB but quite decent at right back so giving Whitty a scare might boot him up the arse to perform better. Fleck is technically superior to Jig, Edu has been all over the place so the bench is my verdict. Finally Juanma is right footed, why he's been played at LM is beyond me plus Wylde is good there anyway.

St.J 0-2 Gers (Naismith and Jelavic) C'mon Ally, get your first win and long may it continue!

P.S I made the Goian emoticon, call me sad but I had nothing better to do and it didn't take long

Is what we will see.

[markybear 136]

I actually think an away game will suit us better, it'll be more open, we can hit on the counter attack rather than continuous pressure with no goals, the added pressure of the big home crowd getting on the teams back.

Ally needs to get a result 2moro for his own sake never mind that of the teams.

My preferred team

Im probably just being stupidly optimistic but I think we'll put in a performance tomorrow

St Johnstone 0-3 Rangers

If I see

:davis: : :3070edu: : :mcculloch: :anyone:

I think ill die a bit inside

[sdunsmb 43]

Would like to see Gregg Wylde start.

Deserves his chance, done nothing wrong.

100% agree. He was part of the reason behind our end of season rout.

[Cowboy 71]

depends on squad line, attacking force need to improve and we break them already in 1st half.

[Amac9 2,060]

I fully expect us to start slow, let St. Johnstone have the ball, fail to create much, fall a goal behind and end up chasing the game and struggle to a 1-1 draw.

[G.E.C. 18,746]

I forgot all about this.

Go go go Glasgow Rangers

[MarkyMitch 4]

I'd like to see:

------------McGregor------------

Whittaker--Bougherra--Goian--Papac

Ortiz---Davis---McCulloch---Wylde

------Naismith---Jelavic----------

Whittaker needs to be pulled aside and told to step up and play.

Naisy also has to be told that better is expected.

I'd like to see Healy come on at some point and get a chance with Naisy dropping back to midfield.

[MillwallLoyal 282]

Fuck it, lets go for exciting again ;-)

Bit different

[Big Laff's Dodgy Barnett 20]

What channel ?

[G.E.C. 18,746]

Edu and McCulloch partner each other in midfield = major struggle

If they dont = Easily winable situation.

[paisley1967 11]

any team without Whitt, Mc and Edu .

[WeeLallace 1]

You have to seriously question McCoist if he persists with Edu and McCulloch.

[Raligt 2,541]

What channel ?

[delparlane 5,659]

12.00 kickoff = 7 am here. Whoever makes these decisions should be Wallaced between 4 horses.

[watp72 54]

Can't believe I'm nervous over an away game at St. Johnstone :|

[G.E.C. 18,746]

St Johnstone never score. Should be alright gentlemen.

[DamienM855 413]

Wallace at left wing, Papac behind him.

Simply because Papac is THE MAN against St Johnstone.

[ChampionsAgain 1,373]

2-0 Jelavic + Papac
