***The Official Dumbarton vs Rangers Match Thread***

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

Would settle for any kind of victory as that will put pressure on the jam tarts tomorrow!

Not often that we are looking for a hibs win...

[Bothwellbear 1,392]

RANGERS: Simonsen, Foster, McGregor, Wallace, McCulloch, Law, Aird, Macleod, Smith, Miller, Boyd.

SUBS: Robinson, Clark, Templeton, Daly, Faure, Smith, Shiels, Hutton.

To be expected really. To be fair Daly and Clarke have both done more than Boyd to deserve a starting place.

[The Monk 3,207]

Black injured, MacLeod obviously moved central so why the fuck is a LB chosen to play LM ahead of Templeton, Smith isn't bad but come on to fuck it infuriates me before a balls been kicked.

[The Monk 3,207]

The pitch looks decent so hopefully we can play a bit better than we could against East Fife

[JCDBigBear 10,825]

Smith, Aird, Foster and McCulloch do my head in. At best Smith is LB only and McCulloch is only a forward. It's like putting out a team 3 or 4 men short.

[gogzy 31,195]

6-0 MIller 1st goal.

[Escobar 13,676]

Smith ahead if Templeton

[BlueAvenger 10,248]

Why is Smith playing !!!

I'll take any victory and 3 points.

2-1 Gers

[RFC55 108,977]

1-0 Boyd or miller with the goal

[charlesblue 42]

The shit going on off the field almost made me forget we have a game today. Smith at LM instead of Templeton? McCoist all over, his frailties are disguised by the boardroom shennanigans. Can see us struggling, 1-0 Rangers

That team selection is fucking disgusting.

I'll tell you how this will go, it will be a scrappy win or worse, don't expect a pumping the day lads. Horrible team selection by the clown again.

That's the spirit Goat....Stay positive...

[blueballss 2,971]

selections bit concerning but should have enough in the tank for a victory

ffs guys. Macleod in the middle, isn't that what everyones been asking for?

Yes, I would have started Templeton, but it's difficult to argue against his impact as a second half substitute. Plus Smith offers us some consistency at set pieces.

[willygers4life 1,031]

Poor selection, regarding smith on the wing, but it allows Lewis the chance through the middle. Smith more than likely there for his deliverys and to cover for Wallace to attack

[Clemdog 39,389]

Glad to see Lewis in the middle!

But putting Smith ahead of Templeton, especially after his recent form, is terrible management. Let alone terrible team selection.

If the issue is Smith ahead of Templeton it's hardly a terrible 'team' selection is it?

[Clemdog 39,389]

Keeping Foster in the team just confirms it.

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

Ha ha ha only Smith ahead of Templeton to argue about and some posters throwing the dummy oot again!

Will be interesting to see how Lewis gets on

[G.E.C. 18,793]

Can see this being like the Alloa game. 1-1.

[G.E.C. 18,793]

Smith should only play if Wallace gets dropped. He's untouchable though.

[GOAT 30,449]

It's true though. Unless he's planning on playing Wallace on the wing and Smith at left back, we're going to be terrible down the left. Smith is there to give extra protection to Wallace, extra protection for what? It's fucking Dumbarton we're playing here jesus fucking christ.

Don't expect much to come down the left today unless it's from Wallace. I really do hope I'm wrong, but I wont be, it's going to be scrappy and a bit of a struggle, I just hope Boyd and Millers class carry us through in the end, because we can't afford any more slip ups here!

[Wearethepeople72 1,845]

Would have played Templeton instead of Smith, good to see MacLeod getting a chance to play in the middle though.

[ianb1547 3,767]

how about a wee 4-0 or 5-0 win?
