1-0 Rangers. 

Next round is going to be murder. 

If we play like we did today we should go through imo.

It will be Susan Boyle level ugly though. They are masters at dragging a match out.

I have already stocked up in eyewash..

Butland

Tav Goldson Souttar Barisic

Cifuentes Jack Raskin

Cantwell

Danilo Lammers

Big game but we are getting better by the game, hopefully keep on improving and take a fair amount of pressure from MB and the team.

I think there’s a good player in Dessers. Just needs match sharpness. Will get us goals. 

He looks a big doo so far. 

[AGM_72 3,648]

Crucial that we win. Obviously for the 5m and into the next round but to keep building momentum.

They have a very good home record and never surrender.

Our defence will have to put in a good shift.

We are better No Surrenderers imo.

Would be good to get the early goal that I think kills the tie but can see us sitting tight for the first 20. 

[stuart1994 4,303]

Would go 433

Butland

Tav, Goldson, Souttar, Barasic

Cifuentes, Raskin, Jack

Sima, Danilo, Cantwell

They were quite defensive at ibrox and we managed to get in behind them a few times so can see us getting space in behind on Tuesday, hence the Sima inclusion. 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802]

10/11 starters pick themselves for me.

                       Butland

Tav.     Goldson.       Souttar.        Barisic

     Raskin.           Jack.       Cifuentes.     

                        Cantwell                  

                           Danilo

 

Think Beale will go with Lammers but I think we could do with more pace to hit on break. Dowell was no slouch for his goal yesterday so him or Sima or outside chance Matondo could be options.

That should be the team, I’d be tempted to put Sterling at LB though and let Cantwell stay up the park with a more defensive full back behind him.

Sima on the right, with Cantwell on the left or he might go with Matondo from the left but up top similar to when we beat the tarriers.

It let’s Cantwell be more involved in the final third where he’s at his best imo.

Don't think Matondo is in the euro squad.

I think McDowell will play.  Good at the rough and tumble.

Looking like a poor decision already.

McDowell is far better option than Dowell.

Is Cifuentes not in the European squad? He’s one of the last players I’d drop tbh!

He is in it. I completely forgot about him, somehow. 

Yes, Cifuentes keeps his place. 

[Smile 26,610]

I cant see Servette being a problem, unless they do have quality players out they offered very little.

 

[bornabear 6,208]

Cifuentes will be a big plus in midfield, his awareness will be a big improvement from the first leg. 

Rangers to win by 2.

I think it’ll be a horrible European away tie tbh! They’ve sold out their stadium for the first time in their history so they’ll be up for it big time. Reckon it’ll be similar to Maribor away or UFA where we take a draw and get to fuck.
