The Run in

[ScottBF2 3,540]

The way I see it we have a couple of scenarios. If that lot win on Saturday, we put full focus on the Europa and the Scottish Cup. If they drop points, we go full tilt for all three.

 

Anyone see it different?

Sunday will be a good time to rest a few and give some of the squad players a game.

Should have more than enough quality to beat Utd.

Wright, Sands, Davis, Sakala, Diallo, King for starters hopefully 

[Rangers_no1 34,420]

Davis, McLaughlin, Arfield, Sakala and possibly Ramsey should all start. Would play Diallo and Sands as well.

[Iakona 2,313]

Leagues gone regardless of their result against Hearts.

On the flip side. Its unlikely that this squad and management team will lead us to another major Europe final.. So we have to do whatever we can to put ourselves in the best possible place for it. If that means wrapping our players in cotton wool so be it. 

[AGM_72 4,027]

Interested to see what happens with Roofe and Ramsey. Going to need some game time to get up to speed again.

I disagree on the first point, agree on the second.

[Malkytfp1 19,575]

Fuck the league. I'm actually over it now with the European antics.

There's absolutely no chance they fail to win any of the next 3. The league is over.

[superallysbears 8,175]

Two losses and a draw, fat Flange would get chased down London road, seriously though, we've unfortunately dropped points in one game two many for this league this season, anyway Winning the Europa is and always will be the bigger achievement, the fact were in the final has already taken the shine off theirs plus we'll get a CL place but also the prestigious European trophy to boot.

Mathematically it isn't. I'm not holding my breath for us winning it, but if we have a chance then we owe it to everyone to make sure we take it.

it's a tricky one -

on the one hand don't want any more injuries and keep players fresh, on the other it is best to keep them all match sharp. 

we know what happens to the team when had a wee break so I'd rotate 2 or 3 at most for each game, giving them all a breather but keeping sharp for the final

[STEPPS BOY 77,396]

Sunday rest everyone.

Minutes in legs in Ross County game.

Mygers Gold members at Tynecastle.

[esquire8 45,038]

The league is over but these players have shown they don't do great when they have a game or two rest and come back for a big game. 

Play the main team. They can rest in a couple of weeks.

[Siam69 27,797]

Clearly Europa Final is priority, followed by Cup final.

League's gone, let's not potentially jeopardise our best chance of silverware, and what silverware it would be! 

EF have less games to play than us until the final as it is. 

Though as it stands we both play on the Saturday before the final. 

[Prso's headband 36,730]

This team thrives on games every 3 days as has been evidenced for the past 6 weeks. It wouldn’t be wholesale changes for me. Ideally getting Ramsey etc up to speed would be the priority but the core of the side remains the same the next 3 games

[stuart1994 4,532]

Leagues gone, but I can imagine we’ll show a high standard of performance the last three league games regardless of who starts. Everyone will want to play their way into two cup final starting elevens. 

[Colin Traive 23,779]

Assuming they beat Jambos, I’d go with this team for our game:

McLaughlin

Zukowski King Balogun Barisic

Sands Davis Kamara

Arfield

Diallo Wright 

Guys like Bassey, Tav, Goldson, Lundstram, Jack, Kent and Sakala need saved, the latter especially if Roofe is not recovering as quickly as we need.

 

[SIRB_72 4,148]

Every selection in the next 3 games should be built to have the players best prepared for Frankfurt and then Hearts in the final.

celtic can draw their remaining 3 games and win the league. Just get everyone in peak condition for the games that actually matter now.

[KingKirk 26,421]

18-21 May that's our run in get everyone fit and firing 

 

[BlueKnight87 17,841]

It's going to be finding the right balance. Yes we want to protect and rest players, but we also want to keep match sharpness going 

Trust gio and his team will plan well and rotate for the remaining league games.

[Broxi 12,195]

Sunday is irrelevant now. Give Lowry, King, Diallo, Davis, Sands some minutes.

Lowry and King for obvious reasons (hoping they're still here), Davis for rotation, Sands because he'll be here next season too and Diallo on the hope he shows us what he's capable of and might present himself to at least be option in the remaining games.

[The No.9 763]

We would absolute idiots to be still trying to win the league at this stage, rest players every game now until the two finals

[BuffaloUSAGers 1,430]

Dundee United, empty the bench.

Ross County, give the starters a 45 minute run out. Roofe and Ramsay if fit.

Hearts, empty the bench.

Unfortunately they need to drop points in all 3 games. Not going to happen. 

Edit. 1 of the games needs to be a defeat. Even 3 draws is enough for them.
