Muff 245 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Naismith, Jelavic (ineligible), Ness, McCulloch and Broadfoot out.Naismith and Ness out for 2/3 weeks.Kyle Hutton struggling with illness.So there is not going to be much change in the team for the foreseeable future.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If Torres can play for Chelsea tonight after playin for Liverpool in the UEFA Cup, why cant't Jelavic for for us now? Is it a different phase of a different competition it gets reset or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a different phase of a different competition it gets reset or something?Jelavic played in the Europa league, although there was almost a get out, if his old team hadn't advanced past Aston Villa I believe.Torres is entirely different, it's a totally seperate competition.

andymc10 6 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sporting played last night, looked good at 0-0 but then benfica scored and then they played shite. Benfica also were down to 10 men for the whole 2nd half and still managed to score. Finished 2-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Would that not be an advantage however? The tims want us in Europe for as long as possibleI never want to see The Rangers lose at anything. First XI, U-19's, U-5's, ladies team, tiddley-winks, you name it, etc, but given our depleted squad and knowing that this year above many others we really need to retain our SPL title - and for that reason alone I would forego all the other cups for the title.So the short answer is 'Yes'!

Muff 245 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'd rather we were out the Europa League - we certainly wont be winning the competition and the more games, the more chance of injuries/fixture pile-ups. Sporting CP are pretty average at best, and we should have been taking at least a 1-0 win with us over to Portugal. Wouldn't be surprised to see extra-time and penalties on Thursday. We always do things the hard way.I'm more interested in a win on Sunday against St. Johnstone - league title must be won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoniram 1,919 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 It's getting to the stage where watching Rangers is a chore rather than a pleasure.Thursday is going to be brutal as he has even less options than he did for the 1st leg.McGregorFosterWeirBougherraPapacWhittakerBartleyEduDavisDioufLaffertyStill can't see a place for Weiss or Fleck or Wylde.

Muff 245 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 our squad was never going to allow much change. but we can effect some change.Maybe we shouldn't have released Webster and Velicka, sent Perry, McMillan and Beattie out on loan. We can still make some changes, but not the ones we all want to see. For example; Edu, Weir and Whittaker out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
