[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Tuesday 19th July, Ibrox Stadium, KO 7.45pm.

Annan losing 2-1 today to stranraer.

Warburton promised squad rotation so I expect a few changes in the team. 

Gilks

Hodson Hill Wilson Wallace

Tav  Krancjar  Windass

MOH. Miller. Forrester

Freshen the team a little, try tav in midfield, push Forrester forward as well. 

Rangers 3-0.

 

[ForeverAndEver 71,458]

O'Halloran, Waghorn, McKay

3-1.

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

If we start with today's finishing eleven, a rugby score!

[Gaz52 11,837]

Will be a very different looking team to that of today, I'd go with (if all fit and available)

Gilks

Hodson--Hill--Wilson--Wallace

Kranjcar--Thompson--Windass

O'Halloran--Hardie--McKay

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

7-0 us, whatever team we play. 

[King Jela 20,361]

Take it this isn't n the tele? 

[Sam English Loyal 945]

 

                     --------Gilks--------

   McCrorie-----Hill----Wilson-----Hodson

        Kranjcar----Halliday-----Windass

         MOH---------Hardie---------McKay 

 

4-0 to us. 

[ThatNightInFlorence 696]

Gilks 

Hodson Kiernan Hill Wallace

Windass Halliday Krancjar 

O'Halloran Dodoo Walsh

 

Barton on after 60 minutes for Halliday 

Thompson on after 60 minutes for Niko

Hardie on after 75 minutes for Dodoo

 

[stevemartin1991 262]

whats the predicted crowd? 

[markem 7,251]

I think Annan are going to take a doing.

 

5+

[Tam Müller 340]

Lot of different opinions here.

 

for me personally itd be 

Gilks GK

Wallace LB 

Hill CB

Wilson CB

Hodson RB 

Halliday CDM 

Windass CM 

Forrester CM

McKay LW 

OHalloran CF (trial 90 mins in this role)

Waghorn RW 

 

barton on for halliday at 60 mins

Kranjcar on for Forrester at 60 but swtich McKay to CM and Niko to LW 

would also like to see Ryan Hardie get his chance done very well on loan last season but at the same time Jordan Thompson impressed in the few minutes he played for us last season.

 

Also seen further up someone suggested trying Tav in midfield which I think could be a shout given some of his defensive blunders

[Vanoli 4,625]

I'd like to see

Gilks

Hodson Hill Wilson Wallace 

Windass Halliday Niko

MOH Hardie McKay

 

get Barton, Thompson, or whoever else didn't get any game time involved. 

 

What's the score with big Crooks' injury?

Heard he should be back for the Burnley game.

Anything over 30k will be impressive

[The Mailman 330]

I'd say there's more chance of Wallace playing CB than Tavernier playing CM

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

First game using my season ticket. Can't wait to get back to Ibrox  

Looking forward to seeing some of the new players. I'm guessing Barton will get the last half hour or so.

Gutted I'm in London for work, going to miss this. Will need to pull a stream in the hotel room!!

[Daz 7]

Don't think the team will change much from today, apart from Joey Barton will get some game time, thank god the open finishes on Sunday!!

Anyone know the expected attendance on Tuesday?
