Will probably upset a few on here, but personally I couldn't give a flying fuck about the Scottish Cup. Wish we had withdrew from it completely after the 2016 Hibs whitewash.

Why, cause magic hats team couldn’t defend corners?

This cup for me “we’re in it tae win it!”

My heart wants 5/6 nil, with 4 penalties to the Famous!

Head will settle for a victory and NO red cards for us 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Much as I would like to offer more support to Defoe, we have to win the battle in the middle first as we did against celtic and Aberdeen until the referee intervened.

Killie are strong in there even though the players themselves are average.

McCrorie, Jack, Arfield must be the first names on the team sheet.

I also like the idea of Halliday instead of Barisic because Andy gets it.

Up to the others to create chances for Defoe and, if they do, he’ll see us all right.

The earlier game when Murphy got injured should be the template again today.

Anybody want to get a sweepstake going on which Rangers players will be targeted tonight for the CO to look at on Monday morning. 

Ryan Jack has been left alone for awhile he looks the easiest target to fall back on. 

Definitely Jack.

As you say he hasn't been targeted as much by refs this season, though opposition players seem to have carte blanche to boot fuck out of him (more often than not with no attempt to go for the ball).

Think I'll go for Arfield and possibly Goldson to both get the forensic levels of examination of any incidents they are involved in.

Can't see it, tried to be different last time we went there and didn't happen, tried and trusted for me tonight.

Mo isn’t there so it’s not tried and trusted.

Candeias in the middle doesn’t work as we’ve seen, would swap him for Davis.

Play same formation as against aberdeen, fuck playing davis in this one candielas engergy and running is required here.

Buzzing for this 

[Getstiffed 5,909]

I think Barisic was exposed second half due to the lack of cover in front of him and therefore the criticism is harsh imo. Felt a lot of the criticism of Tav for not dealing with 2 players attacking down our right was unfair at the time as well. On Wednesday Barisic found him between a rock and hard place a lot as well. Tuck in or press.

Don’t worry about it.

With Defoe up front we need our MF to be looking for his movement for quick passes to his feet.We can't expect Defoe to play like MO. Again wi Defoe upfront,what's the point of high crosses into the middle from open play?

The formation is.

Formation is no good if you don’t have the players to play it. 

Defoe can’t play with his back to goal 40 yards out with 6 defenders behind him, he plays off the ball that he got at Aberdeen quick ball played through the channels one touch and bang. 

He won’t get that space or service in a 4-3-3. Hope I’m totally wrong mind you. 😂😂

He reminded me a lot of Wallace.Poor when faced up to a winger and completely unable to stop crosses coming into the box.Roasted by Stewart on Wed and it could have cost us.Halliday must play tonight

Funny that he was fine in the first half when Kent was wide left but struggled when Morelos went off and Kent went narrow, leaving him to deal with both players on Aberdeens right side. Halliday would have struggled just as badly.

I don't think we can leave barisic out as his delivery onto the box will be crucial for Defoe to get on the scoresheet today.
