[Ivybank 4,573]

The thing is the tactics against them,should be pretty straightforward

1.dont let them play it out from the back,let Gordon lump it up

2! Man mark Lego muncher

3. Don't let Sinclair and Roberts turn

the problem is we don't have the players to carry it out

Defenders told to defend. tav told to stay in his own half for a change.

Deny them time and space. Close down their midfield all the time, just niggle and niggle them, keep the ball off them as much as we can throughout the first half. They will not be able to contain their kicking and will start getting booking.  Morelos told to harass the defence but to try and save his energy for the second half. Go for it from 60 minutes onward. Break the midfield and we break the spuds. We can win this.

I'd go with this as well with Jack or Dorrans following Brown wherever he goes. Everything they do seems to go through him for some strange reason.

Tav Alves Cardoso Hodson

Candeias Jack Dorrans John

                   Pena

                 Morelos 

 

When Pena starts to gas bring on Windass with fresh legs. Herrera for Morelos if he's knackered. 

I'd tell Hodson not to cross halfway. 

Stiffens the team up and we have pace in John and a threat in Pena and Morelos

We will get pumped from them, absolute  certainty. We have struggled in almost every game, lost against a bunch of part timers in Europe, defeated at home to the hivs, held at home to a proper shite hearts team, fortunate against thistle..................how can anyone say we are looking good or have a positive feeling playing celtic who are looking comfortable against the teams we are struggling with.

 

Just cant see a positive outcome and the warning signs have been here for weeks.....if they score more than 3 Pedro needs to get tae fuck

i cannot see dave king sacking pedro  just a few games into the season and after having backed him with a sizeable transfer budget.if we get a result on saturday this will act as a tremendous boost for the club and supporters

paris transformed the invincibles into the invisibles in just 90 minutes and for goodness sake if astana can turn them over then i am damn sure Rangers can

[trueblueal 2,117]

Win and we are 2 behind and in a semi final. Not only that but in the ascendancy with Pena and Herrera settling in. Lose and we are looking at no better than second. 

This is the type of crunch game a Walter team would just find a way to win. We frequently got pumped and still won 1-0. I'd settle for victory by any means.

Hoping Bruno and John are confirmed fit and available for selection.

They are, wes and Pedro. Head over to Rangers twitter page to see the quotes. The videos will be up much later.

Let's not play dumb; that PSG side would put 200 past us over 90 minutes.

In Europe, the tarriers are woeful. If they were in the English Premier League, they would be relegation contenders.

In Scotland, however, they're lightyears ahead of everything, including us. They put 15 past us in 5 games, for fuck's sake.

They're still unbeaten, domestically, and while we twice failed to beat bottom-of-the-league Partick Thistle over 90 minutes, they went up to Dens Park and leathered them 4-0, extending their unbeaten run to however fucking many.

Pedro's side, alone, have put us through so much pain that I have zero optimism left under the man.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that points towards a Rangers win on Saturday. I want nothing more than to enjoy an Old Firm game again, but this side doesn't have it in them to beat them, in my opinion. That's why I want Pedro out.

[The Monk 3,207]

Its that time of the week where I`m starting to believe again, don`t want to get burned again and surely to fuck were due something to shout about? Apart from maybe the 3-0 Aberdeen game we haven`t really had much to shout about since that semi final win on penalties.

[Misteral 2,932]

We're 25/1 to win the league. Better get on before Saturday 

I don't expect @WeirFleckNRothen will though  

[Smell the hotdog 4,015]

I've no recovered from Hodson's showing against Motherwell at start of the season to put him in against Roberts or Sinclair. Not sure what other option we have right enough.

Holt or Pena, know what you're getting with Holt run all day and not a lot else. Pena could be a game changer but also could get lost with the pace of the game and be like a man down.

[cushynumber 25,178]

Barring injury I see this as the starting 11. I see no reason to bring Miller back in - Pena scored and done reasonably well otherwise and I would start him. He has more chance of opening up defences in that number 10 role than Miller.

Its a far stronger 11 than last year, when Pedro was essentially playing with MWs team, they have bedded in relatively quickly, its a team thats scoring and now its time to show the fans what they are made of.

Could you change your name to Negative as fuck, or Sad Sack . You are wanting Rangers to lose so you can moan about Pedro.

You wouldn't have to! Hodson never does

[gregswanson 19]

if big bruno is playing, ive got a feeling we can win, morelos will score first then sinclair, they will get a man sent off, we will then score around the 80th minute and hang on for a famous victory; they aint as good as they think they are, they're winning run has to end sometime why not saturday?

Got a feeling it will be Miller where Pena is but hoping its where Windass is but good to have options.

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,613]

I think Alves will be out. If so hope it's mccrorie who starts not Wilson.

Sneaky feeling John will have recovered but will be benched with Miller on the left of 4 or 5 in midfield and Hodson at left back.  Roberts could have a field day.

Windass.

Not optimistic at all for Saturday. Windass is fucking putrid and like playing with 10 men.

The thought of having to sit and listen to those animals have a party in that stand again is unthinkable.
