***The Official Motherwell vs. The Rangers Thread***

[Clemdog 39,389]

No Steven 'Casper the ghost' Davis ? Its as likely as a Penguin hitting a boner.

I'm fed up of him going missing in matches..I thought he had sorted it out last at the end of last Season but he's doing it again.

Off form completely.

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Correct. The "Work Permit" is issued by the Home Office but then he needs a visa issued in his passport in his home country. A 100% formality but he won't be with us until the Aberdeen game on 28 August.

If he even makes it for that, rumours are he will stay in Oz for the international game a week or two later. I cant wait to see this lad.

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

I'm going to this. I want to hear everyone singing or else!

[H72 265]

Naismith Davis McKay* Bedoya

[Clemdog 39,389]

Naismith Davis McKay* Bedoya

Jelavic Lafferty*

*If available.

Don't even think they're available mate.

Let alone McKay. No Visa's or something.

[Amac9 2,060]

Motherwell is the type of game where we will either draw 1-1 or absolutely thump them.

[H72 265]

Don't even think they're available mate.

Let alone McKay. No Visa's or something.

For fucksake.

Then:

McGregor

Whittaker Goian Papac Wallace

Ortiz Davis Edu Naismith

Jelavic Lafferty

[Gaz52 11,837]

I think we're going to struggle to turn Motherwell over tomorrow which is horrific to say but it's true. Play the right team and the right way though and I can't see anything else than a victory. No McCulloch please

[Clemdog 39,389]

For fucksake.

Then:

McGregor

Whittaker Goian Papac Wallace

Jelavic Lafferty

Try again.

[H72 265]

Try again.

Jelavic Lafferty

Whittaker & Lafferty will be 50/50 aswell so it'll probably be Broadfoot at RB (which is better than him at CB!)

But someone mentioned Hutton is injured and likewise Ness..So Fleck would probably have to be shipped in somewere if Lafferty can't start.

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

Seriously if McCulloch and Edu start together tomorrow I think I might cry like a menopausal woman.

[H72 265]

I can only see McCulloch and Edu starting now.

That team is so bare.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Edu is suspended. Forgot about that one.

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

Edu is suspended. Forgot about that one.

It was more to do with McCulloch starting to be honest, I may still sob if he starts.

[Clemdog 39,389]

McGregor

Broadfoot Goian Perry Wallace

Naismith Davis McCulloch Ortiz

Jelavic Lafferty

Will probably be the team. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't persist with Ortiz starting on the left over Wylde.

[Clemdog 39,389]

It was more to do with McCulloch starting to be honest, I may still sob if he starts.

I know mate. I'd much rather have Edu in over McCulloch..But it seems like we wouldn't even be able to play anyone else but maybe Fleck in CM?

I read that Hutton + Ness are injured.

[Marco Negri's Beard 1,423]

ha hate to break it to H72 but no Edu either. Suspended

[Marco Negri's Beard 1,423]

I would assume that Wylde will start at left mid, Ortiz on the right with Jig and Davis centre mid. Though i'd like to see Fleck playing centre mid

[KBOO72 4,372]

If we want to see an improvement in our football , lee mcculloch must not start !

Yes , we have injury and suspension problems but I'd wager that throwing ANY of our youth players instead of lame lee would result in a better standard of football .

I can't make the game tomorrow unfortunately , but if I was there and mcculloch was starting I would be booing his every touch . Many may not like those actions but I have never felt so strongly about a player NOT playing for our club .

[sonofbear 398]

McGregor

Broadfoot Goian Perry Wallace

Whittaker Davis Ortiz Wylde

Naismith Jelavic

We're quite thin this week if Ness/Hutton are also injured so as much as I hate to see Whittaker back (needs must), I'd stick him in right midfield. Ditch Jig completely. Reintroduce Wylde and make him play for a contract. subs Alexander,Macmillan,Hemmings,Bendikson and Lafferty

[nvager 498]

This will be an almighty struggle in my opinion. We are down to bare bones due to stupidity/injuries/ lack of signings in proper time.

I would not play half fit players like Lafferty and maybe Whittaker? McCulloch does not look fully fit yet either.

My team would be McGregor, Broadfoot, Goian, Perry, Wallace, Ortiz, Davis, Naismith, Wylde, Hemmings and Jelavic.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Will be a struggle.

[Papa Sasac 164]

Think we might see:

McGregor

Whittaker Goian Bocanegra Wallace

Naismith Davis McCulloch Ortiz

Jelavic Lafferty

Hope to God that isn't it though, neither McCulloch or Lafferty should be starting tomorrow. Would like to see Bedoya at some point.

[Mansion 120]

Bedoya and Boca eligible to play?
