Barisic will start. We will greet.

I'm not sure he will. Ridvan has played more minutes in preseason. It'll be telling who starts though.

Season starts in earnest a week today. To date the friendlies have been difficult to watch. I just don't see what we are trying to do.

Board have backed Beale and I want to see some cohesion today and a clear style of play.

Friendly reminder that we beat Real Madrid 2 years ago and look how that season turned out.

No hassle mate

McCrorie not traveled as he's in goals for the B team

[bluenoz 30,918]

McCrorie, Devine, Rice & Lowry all starting for the B team today.

(I think we have seen the last of Lowry)

So it would seem that McLaughin is our back up goalie, so there goes a CL squad place.

Realise things might change in the coming weeks, but that's how it looks just now.

Be good to see Goldson getting some minutes. Could we potentially see?

Butland

 

Tav

Goldson

Souttar

Ridvan

 

Dowell

Raskin

Cantwell

 

Lammers

Danilo

 

Dessers

I reckon Lowry will be away on loan this season and next season will be make or break, he'll either have shown improvements and get into the first squad on a permanent basis or he'll leave permanently

Yes, their first team anaw

Sterling in squad today 👍

Actually think he could be the left back moving forward if he is half decent he could make that spot his own

[ForeverAndEver 71,582]

Lowry scored for b team

Penalty. Tav oot.

[Broxi 11,505]

[Broxi 11,505]

No Souttar or Davies in the squad

Sterling makes the bench

[ForeverAndEver 71,582]

What the fuck is that team  

[RossS1873 1,669]

Does so well, starting Lammers, Sima, Dessers and Yilmaz, then counters it by playing Lundstram. Maybe the rumours of Souttars illness was true and nice to see Sterling on the bench

At least balogun isn’t injury prone so no worries about him seeing out the game 

[bluenoz 30,918]

Lundstram. lol

Fingers crossed is illness and not another injury. 

[DiamondDan 2,386]

Davies left back ĥome as well. Hopefully a replacement is imminent.

Can't believe £4.5m? Was wasted on him.

[bluenoz 30,918]

No Lawrence.
