Pennywise 159 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Selection of comments from their skipper in the daily retard: "We don’t change our preparations, no matter what we’re up against. “Kebab shops, chip shops and Chinese takeaways … it’s just been the exact same as normal. We trained on Monday and Wednesday with a meeting on Thursday night with the manager, just to go through a few things like tactics and formations. “On Saturday, I think we’re coming in for a light session to get everybody on their toes and hopefully calm the nerves that will probably be there. “Other than that, it is no different from facing Forres Mechanics, Wick Academy or Inverurie Locos. “They’re going to be playing against guys who are sparkies and plumbers. "Rangers won’t enjoying coming up to this pitch. We’re hoping that the weather is absolutely horrible, with a scrubby pitch and a howling gale. I’m hoping it’ll be absolutely freezing. Everything we need to help us – the weather, the crowd, the decisions, - if it’s luck, so be it. We need everything to go our way on that day if we’ve to have any chance of getting any result. "Rangers are one of the biggest clubs, not just in Scotland or the UK, but in the world. A lot of people across the world will be watching the game. We’ve been keeping our eye on the transfer window because Rangers have been moving for quite a few players. “Jason Cummings is among the latest ones in, so we could be up against him. “It’s a big game for us, but it’s a big game for Rangers as well because they’re under pressure to win the Cup. “They’ve got to show they are buying players who suit their style and can bring the club forward. “We’ve got to enjoy the game on Sunday. “We’re under no illusions: it’s a huge ask for us to get anything from the game. “The expectations are that we’re going to get beat, and get beat convincingly, so we’ve got to make sure we’ve prepared properly, and just give it everything we’ve got."

I was up at Forres yesterday evening and it was fine. The forecast for Fraserburgh for Sunday is rain. No snow forecast for Saturday so may well be OK.

hugonot 50 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 if the pitch is frozen which it looks like it is; then no amount of drying it out with heaters etc the day before will get it right in time I hope im wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBear1972 180 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Little fannies who are guessing the game is off and spreading it should be shot. They think they are being clever trying to gain some status but calling a 50 50 correctly. Wait until the announcement is made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
