*****Official Rangers v Livingston Match Thread*****

[BridgeIsBlue 58,542]

Sunday 3pm live on RTV from Ibrox. 

Game could take on a whole new level dependent on a particular game in the Northeast earlier on in the afternoon, also gives us a chance to rectify how badly we played against Livingston earlier on in the season away from home. 

McLaughlin 

Tavernier Goldson Helander Barisic 

Arfield Kamara Aribo 

Roofe Itten Kent 

(Assuming everyone is fit and available)

Can't see them dropping points unfortunately.

Need to get a run going now. None of this slipping up pish.

This season has a different feel to it as if something might actually be happening for us. Don't fuck it up Rangers

I'm starting to slowly believe this myself as we seem to have cut out the daft fucking errors at the back that were costing us dearly near enough every other game in seasons past. 

Still very early days though, if we can see off these tits at the weekend and put Kilmarnock away we'll be in a good place regardless of what those clowns in the East do.

I hope we turn this lot of hammer throwers right over

[hooooootchy 402]

Can see some tired legs after playing in that swimming pool last night so wouldn't mind seeing some changes. 

——————mcgregor—————

Tav—goldson—helander—bassey 

———Jack—Davis—aribo———

Roofe————itten————Kent. 

6 changes to the starting 11 from last night and still a strong team. What a difference to the last few years 

[Rangers_no1 15,493]

Wouldnt risk Borna and Arfield needs a rest.

Hes worked hard but Kent has not been effective the past 4. Could maybe be due a game off.

[STEPPS BOY 39,842]

Mclaughlin

Tav, Goldson, Balogun, Bassey

Jack, Arfield

Aribo, Roofe, Kent

Itten.

[BlueMe 25,318]

I'd like to see something like this-          

                  McGregor 

Tav    Goldson    Helander   Bassey

               Davis   Kamara

 Aribo            Roofe             Kent 

                      Itten

Even if Barisic is fit, give him a chance to fully recover and rest Arfield.

3 nil.

 

 

[dougie76 12,742]

Our games in Europe and against celtic take care of themselves, it's these games against the rest where we need to start putting runs together, don't care how we do it just get the three points on Sunday Rangers.

[BearInTheToon 1,273]

Time to rest the likes of Kamara and Arfield while Hagi and Morelos need some time on the bench, I think. Hope we revert back to 4231 for this and would love to see:

                  McGregor

Tav    Goldson     Helander    Bassey

              Davis      Jack

   Roofe        Aribo         Kent 

                     Itten

[ChampionsAgain 1,368]

McGregor 

Tav Goldson Helander Bassey 

Davis Aribo 

Hagi Roofe Kent 

Itten

[Nk89 605]

Mcgregor

Tav Balogun Helander Barisic

Jack Davis Aribo

Roofe Morelos Kent

Rest Kamara, Goldson, Arfield.

Keep Morelos in team, ideal chance for a confidence boosting goal

[Professor_Chang 340]

McGregor

Tav Goldson Balogun Bassey

Kamara Jack

Roffe Hagi  Kent

Morelos

[Capetownbear 57]

Morelos has to go to the bench for this one... performances are just not validating a start anymore... Roofe and Itten coming in has to happen.

Expect Davis to come back in and also hope Bassey gets a run to make sure BB recovers fully for UEL next week..

 

I also have a feeling that mob will drop points against Aberdeen, especially if Duffy is playing in a 3 at the back again... they will be calling for popcorn teeth's head come Sunday night... glorious!

Tough match but at home we should be winning this with ease.

Itten for Morelos is a must.

Roofe and Aribo to get another 30mins or so. Zero need to rush both into the starting lineup.

Davis possibly back in but for who? Jack and Kamara look like they've now banished the Jackamara siamese twin persona.

Wouldn't mind either Helander or Balogun playing.

Bassey for Barasic looks highly likely.

3-0 to the queens 11.

Real chance to kick on this weekend I wouldn’t be resting anyone unless necessary play this like an OF

No chance of the sheep shaggers taking anything from them no matter how bad they are, they consistently bottle it so a vital 3 points here for us.

I agree with this actually. Kent does really need a rest, Could possibly see Roofe or Jones in for him. 
 

We’ve got so many good options now it’s almost impossible to pick the team.

Such a refreshing change having the options we do now... recruitment in the summer has been outstanding... best window in years..

Get what you're saying mate, but rotation is huge in the current era, as what @ChampionsAgain says below we now have adequate options to make changes especially with these type of games at home.

Bringing in Davis, Helander, Bassey, Roofe and Itten does not weaken us IMO

Bar Covid ending the season we are going to play at least 49 matches this season. That figure will increase if we advance in both cup competitions and the EL. It's a long season again this year in a much tighter calendar. If we don't rotate even now we're going to really hamper ourselves. Look at Liverpool in midweek away to Ajax - Klopp took Mane, Salah and Firmino off when only 1 up with over 30 minutes to play in Holland. 

The top coaches who have more depth know even at this early stage in the season that rotation is even more important this season.
