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

Same team.

8-0 Rangers 

[Rangers_no1 32,629]

We need to be very careful with Aribo as if he gets booked on Wednesday he misses the sheep away. Should he get booked at home to DU on Sat he would miss the scum game.

Actually think theres a strong case to have him on the bench for this one and not take the risk.

Common theme here is goals, plenty goals, let's get the numbers up 👍

[stuart1994 4,305]

Can be a total cunt of a fixture, but with three very winnable home games in a row and a good feeling about the place after picking up maximum points in three hard away games and at home to Dundee, I really fancy us. 4-0 us.

[Thewhitesettler 2,711]

1-0 will do me, although it would disappoint me, but 3 points are the important thing to be taking from this game.😇😇

They are on a dire run. Hope we absolutely ruin them

After we went two up on Saturday I thought we would ruin Hibs. Somone is due a doing, why not St Johnstone?

We played hearts on Sunday. How drunk were you.

Probably made Hibs day tbh

Shouldn't need him in either hopefully.

3-0 win and wait for it…

 

The Gallowgate Gallacticos will drop points against Ross County…

Not such a daft shout. Not sure if the stats back it up or if just my imagination but I always feel they, and us for that matter, drop more points at away midweek games than travelling at a weekend. 

Could be complete bollocks but feels that way to me.

Not doubting what you are saying but wanting to clarify. We have RC, DU and then ST M all at home before the sheep and then them. 

Is there a 2 game delay from picking up the booking to the ban coming in place.

It kicks in 14 days after the 6th booking, hence why Devlin of Hearts is suspended for their boxing day match after getting his 6th booking vs us at the weekend.

Isn’t he potentially missing the scum game anyway for ACON? 

[JackAlex93 11,373]

Same team as Sunday.

4-0 to the famous.

There's potential he could yeah, all depends if we can agree with Nigeria to release him and any others after that match.

As Nigeria recently sacked the manager it makes it more tricky.

We could always give Jimmy Bell the night off and let Aribo be kitman

Fuck that! Aribo will demand a wage rise. Bell gets paid a fortune.

         McGregor

Tav Goldson Bassey Barasic 

     Kamara Arfield 

    Sakala Hagi Kent

           Morelos

More than strong enough 11 to win while not taking any chances with Aribo getting booked.

Not surprised. Popping up everywhere. Fucking SG rules mean you’re wiping out any close contact for 10 days, whereas in England you can just do negative LFTs.

Didn't realise they were bottom of the league. Only scored 9 goals or so 

Crazy to see that they have only conceded 2 more goals than us, yet we are top and they are bottom.

[southcoastbear 1,639]

I think Mr Van Bronckhorst is quite big on continuity so canny see too many changes.

Same team for me and if we can get the game won early get the subs on and rest key players.

As I've said before I want to see us minimum 7pts clear come end of ne'erday game.

[bluenoz 30,960]

I see the game being tighter than some are suggesting. St Johnstone doesn't concede but also can't score.

A comfortable 2-0 win.

Just a guess but could it be Balogun as he was back training and then has went missing again.

pretty sure Shagger, Tav, Aribo and Morelos have all had it.
