2-2 on Thursday and I would be a very happy bear with that.

[Misteral 2,932]

Game could go anyway but if we play with confidence we can get something I'm sure.  Hopefully, the other game is a draw whatever happens. 

[Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133]

I'm really expecting that we go out and do a job out there, a draw would be the minimum. Need to stamp authority on the group before the Porto double header - let's win this.

[trueblueal 2,117]

They are a team in form, skooshed the league by 20 points, performed very well at Porto and play on an artificial surface. 

Given those facts I'll say 2-0

Reckon he might go 4-5-1 here and include Edmundson. 

Surely why Gerrard tried that late on v the sheep. Could work too

[giffnockger 4,840]

Jealous of anyone travelling for this, first game iv'e missed this season home/away 😞 Would happily take a draw right now then back to take 5 off Hamilton on Sunday!

Is Kent still injured?

[ChampionsAgain 1,373]

Nae curveballs, nae tactical changes ie 5 cms. 
 

Best team on the park and we have a chance of coming away with a win.

Doubt we will see him again until after the international break.

[HuistraHairDo 12,490]

I think this will be our best chance for points in away fixtures, I would take a draw right now, but I have a sneaky feeling about this one 0-1 late JD goal

 

[Boybluesy 3,708]

We'll definitely score, I've no doubts whatsoever about that. 

[krissg910 110]

I would say that yb and us are on a very similar level. There better than feyenoord imo and it will be whoever's better on the day who edges it.

Draw is a good result imo. 

Better chance of an away win in Holland. 

If we play like we did on Saturday we will have a very good chance of winning. 

[Creampuff 22,628]

Bite your hand off for a point in Switzerland.

That would put us in a position where beating them at home and getting a point in Rotterdam pretty much gets us through. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

YB are unbeaten at home in a year and they have a plastic pitch. Tough nut to crack.

Gerrard will not sit back but instead will have a go at them.

I will be over the moon if we get the 3 pts and content with a draw.

They're due one then. To be honest we probably have as much experience playing on artificial surfaces as they do at this point. Maybe not their exact brand of shite turf but it's all the same with the dodgy bounces and rubber pellets getting stuck up yer arse n that. 

Look at the state of their grass though. Looks like the loop side of a velcro strip.

 

[Thermopylae 15,286]

Bit of a masonic kick off time on Thursday 

[Bluekev 43,852]

I think we're quite capable of winning. Yes they're not a bad team but they concede a few goals and our strikers are on fire.

To be fair mate, i just grabbed that from Wikipedia by going through the link it gives on the stadium wiki under surface type. Seems it just links to the company's wiki and not actually the surface itself and a different version of artificial surface is used in the stadium. Not trying to spread false information here, So after some quick research this seems to be a slightly newer version of the surface they have. Probably leagues ahead of the shit you find the SPL, you would hope. Regardless, the surface shouldn't be an issue.

I would usually agree with you with these kind of songs goat mate as i am old fashioned and love nothing better than the old song book but after listening to that a couple of times it is a wee bit catchy. I actually like it.

[Vision 16,729]

From what I've seen of YB's, their fast on the counter pretty athletic team who are good at set pieces similar to Midtjylland. They've also a big striker who's good in the air, hopefully Katic will take care of him. The artificial surface doesn't look to bad a lot better than the Scottish ones.

Could be a high scoring game or could be a cagey game you just don't know with Rangers in Europe.

I'll go cagey an go 1-2   Alfie, Goldson
