***The Official St. Johnstone vs. The Rangers Thread***

ally is playing things way too safe now, thats going to come back and haunt us big style.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,775]

I'd be horrified/shocking/dumbfounded (delete as applicable) if that is the line up and layout.

This.

[Lee_RFC 6]

right Ally dunno wit the fuck yer playing at but still im going get behind the team c'mon the Gers

[gordo7 147]

Surely Edu isn't playing RM and Papac LM ffs. Ortiz and Wylde must be a little bit puzzled. Will wait however to see how the team actually line up.

[papaguy51 912]

Papac on one wing and Edu on the other.

Wylde and Ortiz must be wondering what's going on!

[Irwin Sparkes 97]

He's terrified of the sack. It has to be that. There's no other sane reason why he'd watch us win the title with positive tactics, and then pick disgustingly negative ones in his first 3 games.

[BeautifulSeas 10]

The official site are always correct in where they claim players will be playing

It is, unfathomably:

McGregor

Whittaker Bougherra Goian Wallace

Edu Davis McCulloch Papac

Naismith Jelavic

I honestly fear for us today i really do

Sir, you are talking the piss.

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

i would have gone:

:broadfoot: :bougherra: :papac:

:ortiz: :davis: :mcculloch:

:jelavic:

[BlueMe 25,327]

i thought pre season was the time for experimenting with team selection?

that's bonkers if that really is the team...

[Irwin Sparkes 97]

Sir, you are talking the piss.

Look it up nigga

[Dan Deacon 55,156]

You've got to ask yourself what KMcD and ID are doing behind the scenes if they are agreeing with ally on his selections. It does not take a genius to see a slight change the the Midfield is all we require in order to start playing better. Hopefully I will be made to eat my words come full time. But right now I cannot see it

[The Doctor 2]

I am horrified at the official line up - wtf are you doing Ally? I hope to fuck you know something we don't....

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

COME ON RANGERS, FUCKIN COME ON.

:pray:

[Amac9 2,060]

If that is the way we are actually lining up then there are no words to describe just how bad that team is. And even if we don't line up that way it is still a poor team.

McCulloch and Edu should be sitting on the bench because they are of no use to us.

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

the only thing i can think of is ortiz is struggling with not playing, and perhaps keeping him by for malmo, and wilde hasn't been to great in training. but still i think there's better ways to go about things than what has been selected imho

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Thats not the team ffs.

Is it?

[krissg910 110]

Rangers: McGregor; Whittaker, Bougherra, Goian, Wallace; Edu, Davis, McCulloch, Papac; Naismith, Jelavic.

Subs: Alexander, Ortiz, Fleck, Wylde, Healy, Broadfoot, Hemmings.

possibly the worst starting 11 i have seen in my life. 5 defenders plus mcculloch and edu. that leaves 3 players on our offensive side of the game in naisy/jela and davis.

feels like its gonna be another long lunchtime

[The Doctor 2]

It's official my young friend, I'm afraid it is.

i think edu should be dropped, but we need someone with fight in mid like mcculloch - he was excellent last year. but tbh, jigg seems to be playing in a very defensive role whenever he plays now, which means we never see him.

the whole team is so fucking defensive it's crazy - especially up against the likes of st johnston

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

Just seen Ally getting off coach. Looks like he's not slept since Monday. Poor sod.

Come on Rangers.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

I'll wait and see how we play after the whistle blows.

Mon the Teddy's

[FlippinEck 3,702]

Papac at Left Midfield according to ESPN

Davis on the right, Edu and Mcculloch in the middle... have we not learned??

Haber will cause us problems again

[Rab_Rangers 38]

ESPN has it Papac left wing aswell

[Imodium 410]

Nice to see Mcculloch and Edu start in the middle of the park again. They complimented each other very well last Saturday and on Tuesday

this has 0-0 written all over it

[mrmytto 220]

What disgusting team selection.
