I can see a few wind-blown balls going over Bassey's head. Hope I'm wrong.

King preferred to Simpson tells you all you need to know about Simpson's future.

Think everyone and their dog knows Simpsons future and has known for a long, long time.

Happy we’ve stuck with Itten it’s the only way he’s going to get confidence & goals he needs a run of games can’t bin him after a couple of average showings Roofe can’t be relied on given his fitness concerns 

He’s been average or less in just about every appearance that isn’t Motherwell.

Itten ffs. Was Gio watching the game Weds? Understand if Roofe isn't fit enough to start but Sakala would offer more. 

[the old guard 2,323]

Sakala and roofe should be starting, wouldn't have itten anywhere near the starting eleven. Big call from Gio.

@STEPPS BOY is there a chance of getting Alfredo back for wed? Don't take the cunt 😂

Don’t think there’s a chance mate.

The Colombia manager is a throbber.

[Hilly86 701]

I thought he'd only risk one of Arfield and Roofe from the start, guessed at Roofe starting to get him ready for Wednesday (and after Itten was so chronic).

He's got his preferred midfield and wingers starting, please make it easy Rangers.

Last thing we should be doing is playing any ball at height. Anything above waist level is fucked.

might not have a choice!

Only hope he feels we have enough to win this game with Itten and keeping Roofe and Sakala fresh for Wednesday. Although would think Roofe needs gsme time.

@esquire8 any chance Morelos will be back for Wednesday mate

[JM1872 3,708]

In about them Rangers. Rotten day for it. Settle it early and get back on the bus. Itten to score. Would have kept Lowry in.

I’d be much happier with Defoe upfront than Itten. 

Maybe we should sign him

Great team that. Surprised Diallo starts if I'm being honest. Might have been better bringing him on with the game win. Still....look at the attacking options.... fantastic!! Arfield can literally stroll it today. If Itten can't score with this level of service then deary me

COne on Rangers, let's keep on winning! Intake them!!!

Not really a surprise given we have no right winger.

[hammer93 15,057]

After reading the last 2 pages I reckon big Itten will do the damage today

[Creampuff 22,628]

Only logic I can think of is that today is going to be a horrendous match physically (both thanks to the opposition and the conditions) and we know Ced isn’t playing Wednesday. Keep Fashion fresh and avoid Kemar getting injured/fly kicking a goalkeeper.

[Vanoli 4,625]

Can only hope Gio doesn’t want to risk Roofe for the derby. Itten’s fucking honking man.

More chance of you coming up with something more original.

There is no denying Itten can be a dangerous player and I predict he will score but the contention is that he didn't deserve to start whereas Sakala did.

[BlueAvenger 10,237]

Dropping Sakala after Wednesday night is fuckin poor. Itten is pish

[CR3 12,680]

Probably been said here a lot already but I’d have loved that team with Roofe instead but fingers crossed that’ll be Wednesday.

Yes there is 

[esquire8 42,461]

Awww all calm for now....

[ForeverAndEver 71,467]

I offer as much as Itten and I’m a wee fat mongo

[maverick1200 2,828]

I think it's a cracking team. Very attacking. 

I'm glad we aren't rushing any of our injured players back. We have a lot of game coming up and will need the squad. 

[VanVeenRangers 2,535]

Itten will come good when given the service. Watch this space....
