Aye but junkies on Wed first, hopefully we’re 9 points better off come next Sunday afternoon 

[TopCat 4,511]

Nervous about this one on that shitty pitch in awful conditions. 1-0 Rangers will do me.

Yes two very important games. 🤞🤞

Wonder if gio will have the balls to look at the right back position if tav keeps playing poorly? Apart from that flick in the stramash at the end he was very poor on thursday night, 

And as much as he set up the first, hagi as well didnt offer what he could, can see him being dropped tomorrow for someone like arfield or even sakala and move aribo into the central ACM role

Think on that pitch against livi we'll need energy in the middle, might see him try kamara and Lundstram as starting two mids, if balogun is back im torn between bassey at centre half again and allow barisic another game (doesn't deserve it) or bassey left back and hope balogun is fully fit at centre half

Balogun and Roofe are both out for this one.

I would bring Jack in for Davis.

Any win will do. Be interesting to see if the improved performance continues or if we revert to SPL form

Madness to throw Jack in on a plastic pitch imo

Balogun is out. Him and Roofe.

If he bases team selection on form, then Tav should be benched.

Going by what GVB said, Balogun will be out longer than Roofe, so maybe means he wont make Wednesday either

After such a long layoff I wouldn’t risk him.

[RockwellGers 14,712]

I sincerely hope that we win this football contest. This feeling is not exclusive to this particular fixture either. I desire a higher goal count than the opponent, and I'll tell you right now this is a thought that occurs to me weekly.

My hope is that others on here share this outlook.

This is a great outlook I really have to say.

Dunno if starting jack on this pitch is the best idea

Aye but you know what its like with captain and tavs stats mean he can always be a threat even if its only for a fleeting min

[Prso's headband 35,459]

I don’t think we’ve lost points there in like 8 games. 
 

Only game I remember us getting beat was when Dolly Menga scored. 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,792]

Lundstram for Davis would be the only change I would make. We need to try and keep a consistent team on the park and not make changes for changes sake.

That's a first; an actual android on the forum.

We drew 0-0 there last season early doors

He can be a threat mate, yes.  But equally he has been more of a liability of late defensively.  He won’t be dropped I suspect but I do think he should be.

[GersInCanada 7,775]

Horrendous surface so cannot risk Jack.

I will be happy enough with a 1 goal victory but I expect us to win by more. Still looking at the odds but Rangers -2 has appeal.

[Davy Vandenbroucke 26,165]

Always found it strange that we have an almost impeccable record there, whereas Celtic have an utterly horrendous record there, with no in between.

Can’t think of any other ground where one of us does as well and the other does as badly as there? First thought was Rugby Park, but both us and them have a pretty shite recent record there
