I don't think Defoe is up to speed yet to start this one.

[STRUTH82 813]

In amongst all the hype and excitement of the new arrivals, I just hope the team put out remembers Killie have proved a tough nut to crack. Lets get out the traps early, no pissing about and take the game to them.

I'm going 1-2, with Alfredo getting both goals.

we did beat them 3-0 there in the LC earlier but I agree, tough game awaits.

Mcgregor

Tav Goldson Worral Halliday 

Arfield Mccrorrie Jack

Candieas Morelos Kent

They deserve the chance to start.

Also think Gerrard was cute yesterday and now has Clarke thinking about thinking about his formation.

[MasterD 7,435]

I'd expect Davis to start and Defoe to get about 30min.

[ChampionsAgain 1,373]

Mcgregor 

Tav Worral Katic Halliday

Davis Jack

Candieas Arfield Kent 

Morelos 

1-2

What's the latest on Goldson?

Is he available again or still struggling?

would keep defoe on the bench and start with lafferty up front, and if we havent broken the deadlock by HT, then bring on morelos and defoe and change formation.

only because I dread to see defoe and / or morelos pick up an injury on that artificial shite killie play on. Plus, i think for fitness, we cant expect defoe to play 90min every game so I'd rather save him personally.

Lafferty starts and I'm drinking bleach

He has a not too bad record on plastic and putting the ball over the top happens on the surface all the time would suit his game. I’m ain’t his biggest fan but horses for courses.

Dreadful, dreadful player mate

I’m not disagreeing with you on this but he can play when he wants too and on plastic he does ok and with his mate SD forcing him to complete I think he could do a shift.

When he get involved with the ball instead of hiding from it he can be a handful and won’t be afraid of the thugs in the Killie defence, he has had a charmed career getting to play for us twice .

we do however need better than him going forward but we all know he comes into his own from April to May which will come in handy if history is to repeat itself

3-1 it was. 👍

[KingKirk 25,653]

So good to go into a game knowing that if we play anywhere near our best we'll win.

Been years since I've felt like that about a Rangers team. Credit to the lads and management team

Amazing that he has financially carved a decent career out of playing football. 

[JM1872 3,713]

Little margin for error this half of the season. Need 3 points and a high intensity for 90 minutes. Killie will be up for it, make no mistake.

[35 Yard Dangerman 3,477]

Let's hammer this lot. Sick of people saying "Killie's doin alright aren't they?" 

Get them destroyed 0-4 and watch that miserable cunt Clarke and his mid table dross slide back down the league. 

Mon Rangers. First minute till last.

[McEwan's Lager 30,534]

Is it snowing in Ayrshire?

 

[Escobar 13,676]

Bucketing down in Glasgow, if this keeps up it’ll be called off due to supporter safety I’d imagine.

In Irvine just now and none at all. Be surprised if there is anything significant in Killie

Stopped now in the town but was a bit mental for about 30 mins there.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,824]

Ridiculous suggestion not to play Morelos AND Defoe because of the pitch. It's our biggest game of the season ffs.
