Looking forward to this, no idea who will start though. 

Wonder if Krancjar will be involved, or not be risked as its a plastic park. 

Hopefully see some of Dodoo. Maybe rest Wallace.

RANGERS: Gilks, Hodson, Wilson, Hill, Wallace, Halliday, Windass, Forrester, McKay, Miller, O’Halloran.

SUBS: Foderingham, Kiernan, Kranjcar, Thompson, Hardie, Waghorn, Dodoo.

No Joe! 

[Broxi 11,484]

Surprised Barton isn't in the squad...

Think Dodoo, Kranjcar and Hardie come on today

[BonjourBonjour 1,244]

Tavernier injured?

[ThatNightInFlorence 696]

Tav not in the squad either? Is he injured? 

[Amac9 2,060]

I don't think Barton is anywhere near fit enough.

Wallace/McKay should be rested

I agree, would have thought Wallace definitely rested with Hodson playing LB.

I really hope we see Thompson and Hardie get on.

Haven't you heard, according to the press he wants to leave us!!!

Oh wait that was bullshit as proved by the contract extension.

Don't think he is injured though manager can only pick so many players.

[Vanoli 4,625]

Think the gaffer could be taking suitability to playing on 3G into account. He wouldn't leave Tav Joey or Holt out altogether otherwise, and after what happened at Killie i wouldn't be surprised if Waggy only plays 20 or less here as well. McKay should be rested for me, lads had a short break and these are the shitey wee games we can get a crucial injury in a game we could play any team and win.

They most likely won't as if Warburton does as he's done already and only sends players out until January then they won't be able to be loaned out again if they play

[.Williamson. 82,203]

8-0 by half time 

[Broxi 11,484]

No Holt either

[Broxi 11,484]

Gotta say it's pretty weird naming all the players who are missing from the squad but not even being stretched at all

Quite! He wants to rotate his squad so he has to try different combinations. He knows what Tav can do.

[RFCstuart 317]

I've been away for a bit...

Is Holt injured?

I assume Barton isn't fit enough yet - must be quite a bit away if Warburton doesn't want him on the bench to give him 30mins or so?

Yeah but Tav would have been a good option on the bench if say he wanted to take Wallace off for half an hour and move Hodson to left back? 

Subs just seem a bit unbalanced is all.

Did they have a falling out ?

[Broxi 11,484]

This is what our squad looks like and we don't even have Rossiter, Crooks, Barton, Holt, Tavernier, a new CB and a new striker in it. Incredible.

He might move Wilson there () and bring Kiernan on

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Think few players must be carrying knocks or not being risked on astro. 

Still good team. 

4-0.

[TMB 14,167]

I'd rather have seen Halliday on the bench with young Jordon Thompson getting a crack at his favoured CDM position.  It's a pretty good line-up all things considered.

[.Williamson. 82,203]

Gonna need a stream to this. In Dublin again this weekend so don't have BT sports

I wasn't sure if it was artificial surface, couldn't remember, but thought if it was then Kranjcar wouldn't be risked but surprised Barton didn't make the bench. Expect to see Thompson and Hardie get some game time tonight though which will be good.

3-0

anyone got a working stream for iPhones?
