Tav Goldson Helander Barisic

          Jack       Lundstram

Sakala       Ramsey     Kent

               Morelos 

Games are coming thick + fast and every single game is as huge as the previous one at this stage of the season. 3 points needed no matter how.

[ForeverAndEver 71,508]

Don’t even care who starts at this point tbh, canny really argue against any of them  

[falkirkNS 6,298]

jack isnt starting mate, kamara comes in.

Id swap front 3 too, sakala, roofe, and diallo

If tonights doesnt raise the game of players looking in then nothing will.

Jack, morelos, kent legs need rested.

Helander back in, bassey to lb

McGregor

Tav, Goldson, Helander, Bassey

        Kamara Lundstrum

Diallo         Aribo       Sakala

                 Roofe

Probably that, but Morelos has to start. Depends how bad that knock/strain is he got near the end right enough. 

[16BlueSherbert90 19,223]

Clean sheet at home. I'm saying 3-0 but if we make it 4 or 5, I will probably pee myself a little 🙈

Damn it, I'm still thinking about Dortmund haha 😄 

Ah well, I will go confident with 3-0 anyway 

And probably still pee a little 👀

This is a massive game where 3 points is a must but we have to make changes to the starting 11. There are only 65 hours between games. It is too much to ask for a repeat performance of tonight.

I would wrap Jack, Morelos and Kent in cotton wool.

Helander, Kamara, Roofe & Sakala must come in, step up and produce.

Wrap Morelos, Kent and Jack in cotton wool for a a fixture that was our first league defeat in more than a year?

No one should be rested for Dundee Utd away, it is our route to the title and CL ffs.

Not the time to give people the chance to prove their worth.

Totally agree, I think we dropped points by underestimating teams, we need to be at our best.

That's not how the game works. You run a higher risk of injury playing players on short notice. Morelos looked absolutely done at the end of the game. He gave everything he had and was possibly carrying a strain at the end.

I'm fully aware of the importance of a difficult tie.

[BillyG91 5,512]

bigger game than dortmund. send out the strongest team and get 3 points. 

[STEPPS BOY 73,924]

Mcglaughlin

Tav, Goldson, Helander, Bassey

Lundstram, Ramsey

Diallo, Aribo, Kent

Alfie

 

Not sure Jack has another game in him this weekend and Arfield looked knackered from start of second half last night.

[Rangers_no1 32,479]

Strongest team possible, this is not a home game to rest some. Difficult away fixture.

3 points, no injuries and on to Dortmund at Ibrox please.

Agree on Jack, he'll be rested for this one I would think, although I'd like to see Ramsay start, with games coming thick and fast he needs to get minutes in and if he's blowing out his arse after an hour get him off.

I feel like Barisic probably retains his place, he's come in last night and done well, his confidence needs a bit of game time I think.

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,461]

2 nil to us. Their defence is better than Dortmund's.

[Jakes Pal 5,584]

I was of the opinion in the Dortmund match thread, pre kick off, that the level of performance was more important than the end result. Of course the result has blown us all away, however my opinion is is still the same. If we cannot take all of the self belief and confidence in the World from that performance from last night and kick on to retain our Title then quite frankly, we deserve nothing.

Our aim (as it always has to be) must be to win every single league game to the end of the season, difficult given the standard of Scottish refereeing and Lady Luck intervening, but possible.  The first game against Utd at Tannadice needs to be put right and it is vital that we do not squander last nights result by failing to win on Sunday. 

It will be very interesting to see if Ramsey gets a start on Sunday as not one of the staring eleven last night deserves to be dropped, not even the much maligned (not by me) Lundstram, a situation that I find quite remarkable, that a player of Ramsey's quality should not be a shoo in to start.

[Billy1984 6,314]

Difficult game and tricky team selection for this, want to keep players fresh but keep the momentum gained since getting our arse felt at the piggery. Dundee utd will be well up for it as usual and hopefully our players can dodge that maniac butcher when he inevitably tries to maim one of our players. 

[stevemac 5,002]

would snap your hand off for a scruffy, scrappy 1-0 right now. all that matters is 3 points and moving on (with no injuries of course)

[Nk89 1,289]

             McGregor 

Tav Goldson Bassey Barisic

      Lundstram  Kamara

                 Aribo

Diallo    Morelos    Kent

3-0 Gers

[Essandoh 21,208]

If we go blow them away and keep another clean sheet then a massive statement is being made

[born a blue nose 90,787]

Is McGhee having to do that touchline ban 😂
