Tough game ahead but think we are capable of scoring.

Tav(c)  Goldson Katic Barisic

Jack Davis Kamara 

Arfield Morelos Ojo 

Going for a 1-1 draw with goal from Arfield. 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 34,252]

Would take a draw here 👍

Tav Katic Helander Barisic 

Jack Davis Arfield 

Stewart Morelos Ojo

Take a draw but hopefully we get to play a counter attacking game and take all 3 points!  Young boys have a good rep but if things go well for us and no defensive mix ups we can win.

[Blue Nosed Babe 9,422]

Fuck it. I want a win.

[tannerall 21,917]

Not under rating the opposition, but I want a win too, we're playing at our peak and are confident, and hopefully the defence ha settled, in fact we have conceded few goals so far, and of course we have McGregor. 

And we also have a midfiel in form to stifle them, Morelos and Defoe on top form, and goals being spread around others  too. 

A 0-0 draw would definately be a disappointment. 

[DMax399 992]

The title puts me off.  Their team name is clearly inappropriate.

[Rangers_no1 9,909]

Believe we've won 3 out of 11 away games in Europe under Gerrard? 

Obviously some of those we played just to advance but lost 2/3 away group games last year. A draw would be a fantastic result. 

Young Boys not on great form lately as well.

[6superbarry6 4,461]

                            McGregor 

     Tav Katic Edmundson Barasic 

                   Davis Jack Kamara 

             Arfield   Morelos  Ojo 

3 points please. 

 

[McEwan's Lager 8,781]

I think we should be going there to win this.

[El-Hadji Spit RFC 224]

Gotta start Stewart given his form, dropping him would knock his confidence

3/1 is a fucking great wee earner even tho a know we're dug meat on the plastic pitch, we're flying the noo tae

Fuck sake I didn't realise they played on an artificial pitch. Shouldn't be allowed in European competition. That's changed my outlook on this game, would jump at a draw now.

[The Monk 1,887]

Think they will play a similar style to Midtjylland, hopefully we can counter just as well.

McGregor

Tav Goldson Katic Barisic

Aribo Davis Jack

Ojo Morelos Arfield

think we will sit in and frustrate them, hit them on counter, we have the tools to do that.

If I was Gerrard I wouldn't try be cute like that, treat it the same as every other game and go out and play our game. Let them know they're in a game from the first minute. 

I'd hate to watch us try sit in hoping to catch them on the break, too nervy. 

Sure I heard they have 6 big injury doubts too 

[G.E.C. 8,415]

They have six players out apparently. 

[Jakes Pal 1,637]

Artificial pitch levels it, on current form I would have been confident (reasonably) of a positive result. The drastic plastic leaves me hoping for, rather than expecting the best.

As a side note, it will be interesting to see how many Bears will circumvent the self imposed ban on away fans, if the Swiss have any sense they should have a wee section of the ground ready to house any Bears discovered around the stadium.

Eight according to the DR.

Makes no difference to me tbh I only know their striker 

[krissg910 110]

Would start with the same team as yesterday.  Dont agree with all the rotation especially in bigger games.

Probably best performance of season so far. So same team for next game. 

[Courtyard Bear 37,598]

Would take a draw and on to the next game.

If we want any chance of progressing,  we should definitely be looking for the 3 points. Any away game in Europe is tough, but we've played our best football under Gerrard in this competition so we should be looking for the win.

[badjon 1,956]

Same lineup as yesterday. A point would be a great result regardless of their missing players. Hoping that the idea of trying to be cute or chopping and changing the lineup are well gone.
