If not play a 442. Couldn't justify leaving Mckay, Little or Jig out though.

Tough leaving any of the guys you mention out but we can only put 11 on the pitch and,surely Sandaza must start?

He's got to get match sharp and he's the most natural predator we've got and,as I think an early goal will open the floodgates,I want to see him on from the first whistle.

Can't amke my mind up what the teamshould be, but East Stirling are not the greatest and Sandazza should get a start as I think he's on the verge of getting his shooting boots, or head, on. What a good confidence booster it would be for him to score a hatrick in a packed Ibrox.

Is there no way we can punt Goian off? Not even a third div side would want him based on his displays, last years included???

Have Peterhead even won a trophy?

No cockiness. Professionalism crucial

Agreed, complacency can kill a team. SFL3 will be all about attitude and not skill.

Ally should not deviate much from the team that beat East Fife. Perhaps put Sandaza on from the start instead of McKay and let the lad replace him late on. I wouldn't start Kyle but perhaps a late substitute once we (hopefully) are coasting.

Cribari should be another sub brought on in the 2nd half.

With all due respect to East Stirlingshire, this should be at least another 4-0.

Black should watch himself, already been booked in 2 out of 3 starts.

Does Cribari have international clearance now? Not actually heard anything but if he does, I'd get him integrated ASAP.

And your right that we shouldn't deviate much from the last two matches. As much as Petehead was a disaster, we shouldn't forget how well we played with the same side at ibrox the week before.

I'd still start McKay, have Cribari in for Goian and I'd like to see Sandaza involved

Take your point, but that won't happen at ibrox! some we diddy ground possible, at ibrox! no fucking chance!!! :P

I don't think so either but you cant list off all our titles anymore as proof of anything, nor can you list off other team's lack of titles. We are Rangers. We are in division 3. We need to be professional and we shouldn't disrespect anyone

Cribari was signed 10 days ago? Thought that would be long enough for the red tape.

Yes, I would have McKay involved, he did score last weekend and should build on that.

Yea, hopefully he's cleared. As I say, maybe I just missed it but I didn't notice us confirming he had got clearance. Can anyone confirm?

I never thought Rangers would win every match but I still have the expectation of being undefeated. However, between now and perhaps the next month or so is Rangers' most unstable time as we settle the new squad/team. So may yet be one or two exasperating moments!

Hell I don't really expect us to lose many games, particularly not at Ibrox. Just don't like the attitude that we can riff off somebodys lack of success as reason why we'll definitely beat someone a week after just about getting beat by someone with no success. Leaves one open to looking like a bit of a wank and the utterly OTT reactions we had last week

One game I did get to last season was the Dundee Hibs game, when they beat us 3-2. Fucking terrible from Rangers that day, but D Hibs are not Peterhead, or E Stirlingshire, and they're very keen to beat us, for reasons driven by factors other than football.

I doubt E Stirling are going to even get a goal, it's just a case of how many we get, and we should go for as many as possible. Just to let all the other teams know what to expect if they think they can fuck over Rangers.

Well, that's the plan anyway!

4-1-2-1-2 formation, well a diamond 4-4-2. Black in the holding position and Shiels behind the strikers:

Alexander

Broadfoot Cribari Bocanegra Wallace

Black

Little---------------------------------McKay

Shiels

McCulloch Sandaza

Hate dropping MacLeod, don't really think Little is as effective as he is up front when at RM but he needs to start imo. Goian has been pretty poor since the start of the season, maybe start him then bring on Emilson at some point. East Stirling have finished bottom of Div3 for many seasons now, our team has more than enough to beat them by a fine margin.

Anyways, can't wait for this match! Me, my brother and dad are heading through tomorrow. Hopefully it's a sell-out! We'll show Scotland what "Sell-Out Saturday" really is by smashing world records! :21:

Prediction: Rangers 5-0 East Stirling (Sandaza (2), McCulloch (2), Shiels) :craphead:

As long as we play a simple 4-4-2 or an attacking 4-5-1 we should be alright. Would rather see more younger players playing. Get Perry and Cole on for Broadfoot and Cribari.

I know Div 3 shouldn't be too hard, bit I still don't think we should be fielding injured players :wink:

I do not like Jig in midfield unless we are 5 up and cruising and I do not see the need the need for 2 holding midfielders?

jig would be a attacking center mid with black as holding. i just dont see jig as a true striker.
