Where are you reading this about Wilson and Forrester mate? Can't find anything on it.  

I was wondering that as well mate. If Kiernan is selected, it will be interesting to see if he makes amends for the awful game he had against them last time - Senderos too for that matter!

He isn't the 'cup' goalie though as Foderingham has played as well in the league cup. FS I could've played in goals the games Gilks played and we would've still won. 

Because the new start date of the league cup is before the actual league season, we weren't able to get the normal pre season games in. This meant that Fod played in a couple of these games for fitness. Since the league has been underway, Gilks has played in them all including the 2 previous. It's the same situation as McGregor and Alexander where you have 2 very capable keepers that you have to keep fit, sharp and happy.

You know this for a fact? As it appears you've just made that up.

don't think there is to much between Wes and Gilks, from what I have seen from Gilks so far (yeah he plays only lower league teams I know) but he is a quality experienced keeper who has played at the top level, wouldn't be against him starting.

Based on what? As stated before you could've probably played without a keeper and still won the games he played in. 

[He's blue he's white 717]

From what I've seen Gilks looks an able replacement if called upon.  Wes is the number 1.  Gilks should not be dropped for this game

You're right. The league cup hasn't even started yet.

If Wilson and Forrester are suspended I would go with

 

Gilks (seems to be our cup keeper)

Tav     Hill    Senderos   Wallace

    Holt     Halliday   Niko

Dodoo    Miller     Garner

 

If Wilson can play swap him in for Senderos. If Forrester can play swap him in for Garner. 

Interesting one you've put mate with Hill and Senderos together in defence. Don't think we have tried that permutation yet, and tbh, the piggery is not an ideal place to experiment! But you're right about Wilson though...

“I’ve been led to believe that (I will play the cup games) is what is going to happen.''

Are you happy now?

"You want to play every game but when I am given the cup games that is what I want to do," said Gilks. "So obviously the bigger the better. Hopefully [Rangers get Celtic in the next round], but we'll see. That might be a good final.''

 

[MasterD 7,435]

Gilks played in the youth game during the week which is unusual. Maybe reading too much into it though.

[The Monk 3,207]

Just seen this is on BT, is it one BBC Scotland too? If not do BT have an equivalent to the Sky sports day pass on Nowtv?

No no! You said that Gilks will play in the cups similar to Alexander/McGregor. Where has this been confirmed? Your head doesn't count! ?

You must have missed the article that was posted above with Gilks stating that's what he was told will happen...

Anyone listing kranjcar to start after his lack of movement, inability to track a runner and his persistent fouling in the first game must be mental. 

They ran rings round him, we have to be mobile and full of willing runners.

I think he's made big improvements in his fitness since then and he makes us tick. Best player on the park last 2 games. Provided he's with 2 out of Halliday, Holt, Rossiter or Windass who will take on much of the running anyway I'd say Krancjar could be our match winner. 

I'd actually stick with Halliday, Holt and Nico in the middle and would use Windass as a wide forward instead of the off form Waggy

Heart says we will pump them, head says 3-1 defeat.

This is going to be a tough match no doubt about it but it's at a neutral ground and anything can happen. The defence is a worry and some of our lapses in defending from the caley match could have cost us points yet again plus we are not exactly banging the goals in either. We still have things in our favour though as the scum are playing in the CL during the week and it looks like we are starting to play better and getting a run of games together. I honestly believe we will be much better than the last time we played them.

We surely can't be any fucking worse. The performance was diabolical but its worth remembering we played the last 20 minutes playing a ghost-like Barton as a centre-half in a defence of three following Senderos' shitebag sending off. That game could've easily finished 3-1, which is nothing to celebrate but it was a lot closer than made out for spells.

If we can realise that its okay to go direct, start Windass, stay tight at the back, and MARK YOUR MAN at corners then there's no reason we can't win. We're Rangers. We've beaten Celtic far more often than we've lost. Bring the cunts on.

Hopefully destroy these cunts! I'd go with.

Foderingham 

 

Jimmy Tav

Kiernan ?

Wilson

Wallace 

 

Holt

Halliday 

Windass 

 

Forrester

Miller

Mckay

Replace Kiernan with Hill and that would be my team.

[Gandhi1872 186]

I think the same thing would happen again if Kranjcar plays (I mean in terms of being run over in midfield). We will not have as much of the ball as we normally do and I think he is a liability defensively.

Watched the league cup final from 2011 there and quite similar scenario albeit our team at that time was obviously better than today's and arguably so was theirs  , they had scudded us at torbet towers a few weeks beforehand and everyone was expecting a drubbing . Then that day we just turned up and it set us nicely for the end of the season  . Similar attitude from the team on Sunday please

Happened constantly under Walter. Played utter shite for large periods of the season, managed to scrape enough wins together and finish well.
