My money is on Clive Tyldesley being absolutely blown away by the atmosphere. He's never had a European full house before. RTV for me

I’m TV as had to give my ticket away after doing my back in yesterday 😭

Maybe no but I think I'd prefer Wright's directness although either Aribo or Hagi  would have the trickery to be effective later on.

Just prefer to see both those players more central but the gaffer disagrees so likely you may well be right.

I don’t disagree. Kent should be providing the directness driving at goal but right now he is wretched.

Confident we'll win by at least 12 goals.

Like others I have concerns about tonight’s game because we have been poor in the last 2 games. Sadly I expect Lundstram to start. Anyway I’m looking forward to be being back at Ibrox since Leverkusen last March. Hope the players are up for it from start to finish. Come on the Champions I 

I don't think he will start tonight. I have feeling manager goes with tried and tested tonight with Hagi back in

McGregor 

Tav Goldson Helander Barasic 

  Davis Arfield

       Hagi 

Aribo Morelos Kent 

 

[RockwellGers 14,720]

Pleased to have such a massive, important game to be invested in. Expecting us to get it done as well, high hopes! Buzzing 

[tom1780 1,219]

Hopefully of to a good start 

forget about Saturday 

mon the teddy bears 

[Iakona 2,260]

I honestly believe we are going to smash them 4-1 tonight.

 

[Raligt 2,541]

Nervous as fuck. Rattlin

[Toronto2Glasgow 1,824]

Shagger 

Tav Goldson Helander Barisic 

Lundstram Davis 

Aribo Hagi Kent 

Morelos 

 

no need to fear these ikea loving bastards. The sluggish start to the season can all be forgotten with a 90 minute performance. 
full trust in the players to step up and reassert ourselves as a European threat.

3-0

My shot at a team

McGregor

Tav Goldson Helander Barisic

Aribo Davis Hagi Kent

Sakala Morelos
 

Not a bad effort to be fair bud

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,806]

I’d just go fuck it all out attack them. Tell Aribo he needs to stick to his defensive duties first and help Davis out and then at certain times tell him to him to bomb forward. He’s shown he can cover his defensive duties whilst playing at left back.

 

McGregor

Tavernier Goldson Helander Barisic

Davis Aribo

Wright Hagi Kent

Morelos

 

Ideally you would have the likes of Lundstram at CM but he’s shown himself to be gash so far.

I realise there is zero chance of this being the lineup but I fear with the likes of Arfield & Lundstram in their current form starting we have zero chance of winning the midfield battle unfortunately.

[ShanksRFC 3,870]

Don't think works dragged in this much since Leverkusen.

Sounds great going forward. My concern is them hitting us on the break and carving open an overly attack minded midfield before we got a goal. 

They get the 1st, we've got problems.

Totally agree however faint heart never won important match 😁

I think that's the line up we will go with. 

Hagi is ideal in these games, always a creative threat. We definitely need to at them from the start, we can't afford not to turn up from the first whistle.

Hopefully tied up by half time before i switch over to Love Island.

Watch it on catchup on the itv hub mate, that’s what I’m doing

I’d probably prefer to record Rangers game and watch Love island to be perfectly honest mate.

Not saying Gerrard should but tactically he can play a much higher line with Balogun.

Rather play our best players. I don’t think it will come down to playing a high line tonight. Plus Balogun is just back from a niggle. Midfield and team need to move the ball with pace / urgency. That’s been the main issue last couple of matches. Too slow, lack of penetration, players not making the right angles / movement.

 

[Essandoh 21,217]

Hairs on the back of my neck just went up thinking about that first…

ALL TOGETHER NOW

[qwerty 3,730]

Wishing i could be there tonight, Bears who are please lift the roof of Ibrox for the full 90

No Surrender

WATP!

 

[LuxembourgBlue 109]

Lundstram out. 

Would start Aribo, Wright, Hagi.

Can’t decide if Morelos or big Fashion should start.

Sakala has done nothing to suggest he should start, Alfie for me all day long

Is Fashion no about 5ft 7?

Remember thinking he was pretty small when next to some of our other players. 

[bluenoz 30,918]

Two up front for me. I start both Morelos & Sakala.

[Bad Robot 21,259]

I hope not
