The team next week is going to depend a lot on who is fit but the defence is going to improve a lot and we need somebody who can score with even half chances.

Your bench would batter your starting 11

Can’t believe you left out McCoist and Hateley btwΒ

He probably had too many to mention mate.and i'll bet he shed a tear at the team who won the cup final replay in 1963.
Your choices were 2 excellent contenders for Rangers A v Rangers B pre season matches from days of yore.Β :thumbsup:

Raskin hasn’t looked the part. Probably Silva will start. He was giving Johnson a torrid time.

Yeah, it was a toss up between Mcausland and Silva.

Both will play at some point. I think Mcausland has more energy and will track back better, with Silva replacing him or Sima.

It's most likely Raskin, Jack or Lungstrum as defensive midfielder.

Jacks been out too long, I'm not sure Lungstrum head is in it.

Borna is / was injured.

Lundstram was a disgrace in the last OF game and shouldn't wear our jersey again.

They keep steamrolling through or midfield because we play a front 4 against them who are pretty shite. Your selection doesn't address that at all, it just shuffles the pack with a different 4.

I'd greet if that's the starting 11 at the weekend.

If only we had two sterling's...

One for Rb and one for Cdm.

Β 

We really miss athleticism and power middle of the park. Some one press and knock others ofΒ their stride.

hearts and killi have been their bigger obstacles this year.

Both packed the middle hearts go 3-5-2 - one quick forward running in behind/ channels.

With that plan....

Diomande and Raskin don't deserve to start either.

They don’t! However Lundstram should never play for us again never mind against the scum in a cup final after his last performance. He single handedly cost us the game. Not to mention he’s had 1 good game in about 14 against them. Someone else deserves a chance.

If we had two Sterlings he would probably play one at left back and one at outside right based on his selections for the run in.

Not the worst idea but I just can’t see him making such a drastic change in a crucial, one-off game.

Reckon we've got to think outside the box with this one.Β Β 

I'd be tempted not to start Dessers . You just know he's going to miss a good chance at an important time of the game . Also think we'll be under a bit of pressure , hitting on the break , so we need someone with more speed up front and more clinical .

Doubt it'll happenΒ  though .Β
