***the Official Rangers Vs Hibernian Match Thread***

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

I know that team won't play but I think we have to stay by dropping the guys who won't be staying next year. The old guard of McCulloch, Miller, Boyd and 10k per week Black have no future here.

You want a job mate, please tell me you don't like gardening.

Your posts are much better in the boardroom section.

We have a serious chance of nicking this with Jig out now

[hooooootchy 405]

I'm a lot more optimistic now jigs not playing . He's the root of a lot of our problems

[GersAvA92 53]

McDowall WILL play the usual mob. My team would be:

Miller

Vuckic Law Templeton*

Bigirimana* Murdoch

Wallace Zaliukas* Streete* McGregor

Simonsen

* = If fit

Subs: Robinson, Foster, McCulloch, Shiels, Hutton, Clark, Boyd.

Shane Ferguson will be a great player for us but I fear the time it takes for him to be fit enough to play it will too late.

[B1872 20,700]

Fuck it this would be my team for Friday!

Kelly

Sinnamon

Streete

Moshni

Wallace

Murdoch

Faure

Templeton

Gallacher

Hardie

Clarke

Obviously if any other Newcastle lads are fit to play, I'd have them in.

Hope we turn up in good numbers on friday.things cant get much lower atm but ill b there standing by my team.WATP ??????

[JCS 649]

Simply can't see the likes of Sinnamon, Hallett, Murdock, Gallagher, Templeton being picked by McDowell.

His persistent refusal to play Gallagher particularly angers me. Why bring the lad back from a successful loan spell simply to ignore him for a bunch of useless has beens!

[Adoniram 1,919]

The only changes to Friday's team will be enforced ones. I too cannot see that many changes to the tried and tested garbage. And if Templeton can't make the squad he certainly isn't going to come waltzing back in as the saviour.

There is no excuse at all though for not seeing what the likes of Sinnamon and Murdoch can do. Introduce a couple of them and see how they cope. We are on our knees and most folk know Hibs will beat us if we line up with the usual duds. So what is there to lose by trying a few of these lads. Let's face it they cannot be any worse than the ones they would replace.

[WeirFleckNRothen 1,789]

I'll be there, but the crowd will be so low that Hibs won't even bat an eyelid. I remember a time when half the battle was won from the stands at Ibrox.

couldn't agree more

[TheCutch 4,340]

Going straight from the game to a 60th birthday party.

I wonder which part of my night will be best????

3-1 Hibs again.

[bears fan 259]

Ian Black was the worst player on the park last week and i bet he starts on friday.

[AlBear. 8,499]

It's time to throw caution to the wind.

3 up top. Daly, Vuckic and Clark would get my vote.

[kingtom80 166]

i just hope we can win,but i think hibs will win.

[bluenose_72 198]

After the last couple of performances the team should see big changes, but I would be surprised if we see wholesale changes, it's just not McDowall's style. Ian Black should be nowhere near the team and I think he will be the only change from the defeat at Raith (depending on Streete's fitness). I would like to see Murdoch play but if Bigirimana is fit then he will come in for Black.

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

Simonsen suspended..

[jafrfc 614]

Robinson

Foster McGregor Streete Wallace

Murdoch Bigi

Templeton Vuckic Gallagher

Clark

Is the team I'd go with if all are fit. We won't see anything like it though.

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

Foster and Mohsni injured..

Jig likely to be suspended..

[The Monk 3,207]

Could the defence be:

Mbabu Streete McGregor Wallace

Maybe even Zal for McGregor too
