Boybluesy 3,796 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Saturday 12.30 k.o. at McDiarmid Park. It's on Sky Sports Football and also Rangers t.v. As seen on other thread travelling fans allowed subject to ballot and vaccination passport (only kidding). This is an opportunity for revenge given our abysmal showing in the cup, but more importantly gaining another three points. Team news, definitely no Hagi, (Covid) probably no Helander. Aribo and Balogun both available and Tav has returned to full training. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Jamaica next play on Thursday which seems ridiculous. If Roofe is involved he won't be available either I suspect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might need to hurry it up if Patterson is out for Saturday, he's missing the Scotland game injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury was described as a niggle and should be ok after a few days. Clarke couldn't/wouldn't risk him or face the ire of Gerrard, especially now after Jack situation and who was probably impacted by playing for Scotland.

ElBufalo20 7,936 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 St Johnstone are shite one season wonders that got lucky. I expect a comfortable 3/4-0 win. No point in predicting line ups these days given internationals and COVID cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boybluesy 3,796 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 They won a cup double. I can’t think of an easy victory against them of late. Kent, Morelos, Wright, Roofe, Aribo, Goldson, must be raring to play. Aribo probably our best player just now. I’d also get Defoe in the squad.

ThenNowForever 232 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 With McCann and Kerr away and I assume Middleton is ineligible we should win this. Regardless of them though any Rangers team that turns up should be beating them. 0 - 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was complete skill from us that Vieri rattled a penalty over the crossbar.Also from St Johnstone against a team from a league below. So you think St Johnstone are a good team?

graeme_4 34,966 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I fancy a 4-1 victory. Hoepfully Patterson is back and firing. Seems to have rotten luck that whenever Tav is out or doubtful, he is as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 23,038 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 So we are probably looking at: McGregor Patterson Goldson Balogun Bassey Lundstram Davis Kamara Kent Morelos Aribo/Wright Thats assuming Helander and Roofe are out. He might play Aribo in midfield (imo) in place of Lundstram but otherwise that should be enough to beat a team who have just lost their captain and their best player. Take a 1-0 win right now to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
