Only straight choice he’s got to make is the Davies/Sands one.

I think the team will be this but with Borna and Colak starting instead.

So....not that team then??  

 

Would be madness to start Alfie when he's not even fit enough to start league games yet.

Got to be Davies if Gio things he’s up to speed.

Imagine it’ll be Davies, I think Sands at centre back will only be a thing against lesser opposition. Better teams will require us to play a proper centre back

Kamara and big bad John for me

This is the team I'd go with, Davie's brings more balance to the left hand side and gives more assurance to Barisic.

It's a toss up between Kamara and Jack both yet to hit form. Kamara in Europe edges it.

Alfie still a few weeks away Imo, if we get a goal or two we'll need to defend our lead to the last minute so we can't be carrying anyone.

Same. Think Gio will go for that too.

Need to be going into the away tie with a lead IMO. 

[Vision 16,729]

As soon as that CL music strikes up I don't think I'll be able to hold it together 

[Jakes Pal 5,574]

Going to be very interesting to see how Gio sets up for this one. He may be tempted towards a more cautious approach given that it is the first leg, 'keep the zero' with hopefully a goal to take over there. On the other hand he may accept that we have got to try and take advantage of the Ibrox factor regardless of it being the first leg, and play what has become our normal European game at home, high tempo and controlled aggression,  hopefully taking a couple of goals over there to give us a real chance of making it through.

Whatever, still 30+ hours before game time and my stomach is churning at prospect before us, God knows what state I am many others will be in come kick off.

 

[blueballss 2,969]

Really tough tie, they will not be looking forward to playing us no matter what comes out of their media.

Don't expect too many if any changes to team.

Hopefully take a lead over there, but I feel game will still be in balance until next week. Will be right up there with achievements to get through, here is hoping🤞🤞

[GersInCanada 7,775]

It's 5M plus the EL if we lose this tie but that is little consolation. I want the CL.

PSV are a top side with some excellent players but a win tomorrow puts us in the driving seat.

I agree and the only maybe is Kamara for Jack and again it depends if Gio thinks Jack is up to speed for a game of this magnitude. A fully match fit Jack starts all day long and I think that’s why he got the full 90.

[RockwellGers 14,710]

I'm bloody excited about this one. We can do it for sure.

Can definitely see some unbearable tension and high blood pressure along the way. Absolutely love anticipating these battles though.

I think there was some good clicking in the linkup play at the weekend, I know it's St Johnstone but still it bodes well to see that just before a game like this, particularly concerning new signings and players bedding in.

[JimmyCR1 1,502]

Looking for a ticket if anyone can help out

[esquire8 42,452]

Wouldn't be too disappointed if we ended up with a draw tomorrow night. I think we can get a good result away from home if we play what was a very effective counter attacking setup last season.

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

Keep a tight ship and we’ll do this, quietly confident. 

[superallysbears 7,579]

I can't wait, sitting here buzzing like fuck, wish it was the night, I'd love us to blow them out the water tomorrow with a performance for the ages, we've definitely got in us, let's fucking do it! ❤️🤍💙

[Essandoh 21,207]

Nervous but excited for this.We need to be at our best or they’ll hurt us.

I suspect they’ll come to win the game by attacking us aggressively but this will leave gaps that our team is good enough to exploit.

It could be a special night or a heartbreaking one. A draw isn’t the end of the world but I think we have to take any sort of lead over there to get through.

[Malkytfp1 18,592]

No sure who's available but I think it will be this.

 

                    McGregor

Tav .  Goldson.    Davies.     Borna 

           Lundstram.     Davis.  

    Tillman.      Kamara.        Kent.  

                        Colak

 

 

[Amokachi 3,006]

Looking forward to a great atmosphere & hopefully a good game with no VAR nonsense.

Lawrence in for Kamara. Offers much more going forward and showed against USG he isn’t afraid to track back and win the ball.
Let Davis play the traditional CDM roll, tell Lundstram that Veerman was chatting shit, and allow Tillman/Lawrence/Kent to run havoc up top 

2-1 the famous

I agree Lawrence over Kamara but I've a feeling hell want to bolster the midfield and keep possession and will prefer Kamara.
