***** The Official St Johnstone v Rangers Match Thread *****

[andyhrfc 2,242]

After the emotion and effort of Thursday will take 1-0 in the most boring game of all time.

[Big Al 55 9,248]

Comfortable win tomorrow, if the right team turns up

he certainly wasn't that -- but he did play well and put in a shift 

He was almost there on Thursday but did a very good job for the team. Couple of touches that nearly came off or nearly got him in on goal but not quite, much sharper than he’s looked all season so far 

[TopCat 4,511]

Expect a tough/nervy match but think we'll sneak it 2-1.

 

 

BTW - OP take note.......it's live on BT Sports 1.

I'd say Goldson needs rested.  Helander and Katic ? 

Yep

4-4-2  . Just think we need a change of shape to freshen it up.

I suggested that formation with a slightly different midfield. I just have a problem rotating the best player in Scotland ( Morelos ).  I understand Defoe deserves playing time so this is the game to play both.

See my OF effort puts this to shame. Hoping we are not rusty and get the three points anyway which we can👍

Yeah the midfield i wasn't sure as was torn between 1 or 2 players.

Doubt Davis can bomb up and down the wings anymore tbh.

Not so sure, last few games he’s shown more energy and pace than I remember him having from last time round. Still wouldn’t put him there though

I’m not against both playing but just can’t see SG going for it 

[SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330]

Should try 3-5-2 again, perfect game for it IMO.

                                 Mcgregor

      Katic/Edmundson Helander Goldson

Tav                                 Jack                         Barisic

                 King                              Aribo

                 Morelos                     Defoe

                    

[Colin Traive 22,755]

Helander/Barisic down the left defence, rest Arfield, let’s  see what King has to offer and play a half fit Jamie Murphy instead of Ronnie Fucking Barker.

this is a game to get rotation in, emotional game Thursday, another coming up, this should be a stroll. A lot of guys with stuff to prove, let them do it 

[Bluenose-11 196]

Wild the folk that go with 4-4-2 thinking the gaffer will just randomly decide to try a completely new system one day 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[.Williamson. 82,198]

This won't be a stroll and it will be a horrendous watch

We have tried both strikers up front before and it didn't work well. Plus we do not have quality striker (s) on the bench if/when Morelos or Defoe tire/get injured.

Hope nobody spits the dummy when their 442 formation doesn't happen. More likely to win the lottery.

Crazy talk. St. Johnstone will throw caution to the wind and play entertaining, free-flowing attacking football and try and beat us by scoring a barrel load of goals.

Just hope they don't disrespect us by showboating if they get ahead. 

[JC10 1,449]

Scrappy 1-0 will do just fine

[Creampuff 22,628]

I don’t think it’ll be as bad as some are worrying. They’re brutal.

Players looked absolutely dead on their feet on Thursday night and we're away for likely another 10 men behind the ball and boot fuck out of us kinda game

Think we need to get this wrapped up in the 1st half somehow, 2/3 goals then just manage the game, cant be chasing it with 15 minutes to go
