robg58 319 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/3246-lee-boost-for-gers Lee Boost For GersWritten by Lindsay Herron RANGERS could be set for a massive boost ahead of Saturday’s high profile Scottish Cup tie at Tannadice with the return of Lee McCulloch.The skipper is being pencilled in for a return against Dundee United, who look set to appoint Jackie McNamara as their new boss tomorrow following the departure of Peter Houston yesterday.And McCoist knows that will be a huge boost to the team who will be playing without the normally vociferous backing of the Rangers supporters following the decision not to take tickets for the fifth round tie.McCoist said: “I got a report from our physio Pip Yeates today and the good news is that Lee is making steady progress.“I would be very hopeful that our captain would be involved in the weekend and it follows that Lee would be very keen to play.“We will monitor him and we will be in a better position to make a judgement later in the week.“It’s safe to say that having the captain in our side at Tannadice would be great. Lee obviously has a lot of experience all over Europe and in the UK and he is a player we would love to have with us at the weekend.”Partick Thistle announced today that they have given permission for McNamara and his assistant Simon Donnelly to talk to United.It is expected they will be announced tomorrow and therefore the former Celtic pair’s first game in charge will be against Rangers on Saturday.

MasterD 7,442 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Always good to have players return from injury but not sure it is good news if he starts, can see him starting in midfield. Then he has been out for a while, it would be best to have him on the bench. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,379 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We know that our team will be well up for the game on saturday,having Captain Jig back will ensure that we give scumdee hibs a proper thrashing. We have missed his presence and his goals.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It is great news I just hope he starts up front and not in midfield. Got a bad feeling he will mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniemca 479 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 think we will find lee either in defence or defensive midfielder in this one.an ally/walter backs to the waller is on the cards for this game.not a prety sight i'm afraid Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,882 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 McCoist better not play him in midfield if he does then we will loose.I am dreading seeing this team and unfortunetley I think the chances are that this will be the team Utd will hammer us if it is.AlexanderHegarty Perry Cribari WallaceLittle Black McCulloch Hutton TempletonSandaza Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Great news but i would be gutted if Jig is in midfield, we need him up front battering their defence, or at worst in our defence with MacLeod out though i can see Ally sticking him in his worst position though. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst regarding the line up on Sat, we are best when we attack not when we try to shut up shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ain't Walter. Walter could shut up shop and still win... Ally needs to play to HIS strengths which of course is attacking football. This will take them by surprise. ffs. What do we have to lose? Go out and attack Ally! WATP and GSTQ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
