Will be interesting to see who does start with the suspensions and injuries. I think it might be the following:

----------------------Alexander-------------------

Whittaker----Broadfoot-------Weir-----Papac

Davis----Ferguson----Dailly---Hemdani---Novo

-----------------------JCD-------------------

Depending on how things pan out can see Buffel and Cousin getting a run out in the second half, very similar to last night.

like it, but if Buffel's starting I'd play Boyd and keep JCD fresh for Fiorentina.

Ca't see Walter agreeing though.

Boyd plays better with another striker beside him, he wouldnt make the runs that JCD could make for Buffel to thread the ball through.

If Boyd plays then it has to be a 4-4-2 with him upfront with JCD IMO.

Yeah, the way Buffel plays though, he's generally further up the pitch than Barry when he plays the same role.

Buffel & Boyd is the closest we're likely to get to 2 up front, and if Buffel makes the runs to get on balls from the wide men then Boyd will be waiting in the middle to bury it.

We definitely need a goal out of this match, and Darchevilly & Cousin are both gonna be tired after big games over the last week.

Would love to see Boyd start this one, but I know it probably won't happen.

Im not sure that Boyd has it in him for the big games like this, I would love for him to prove otherwise but apart from one scuffed goal against them he has done little else to warrant inclusion on Sunday.

I think JCD will start and Cousin will come on for him about 60/70 mins.

I think it will be the same only with JCD up top and Cousin on the bench!

Surely Daniel Cousin can't be tired. He's just back from injury and apart from 120 minutes against St. Johnstone he's been limited to 2 or 3 sub appearances.

Wouldn't play 4-4-2 and for that reason, Boyd will find himself on the bench which I think is right for a game of this importance.

I've got nothing against Broadfoot but I would like to see Whittaker at Right back for this match, simply because he has a better chance of keeping up with him.

_________Alexander_________

Whittaker_Dailly_Weir_Papac

Davis_Ferguson_Hemdani_Buffel_Novo

__________Darcheville_____________

something like that perhaps.

Thomson is suspended!

Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar is suspended, but Barry Ferguson and Kevin Thomson are available after being banned from midweek Uefa Cup action.

From the BBC

Is Thomson's league suspension not finished? :unsure:

I dont want Hemdani anywhere near my team on Sunday, the guy has been rank rotten for the past few months, he is slow, lacks any skill and the guy can't play the ball forward. When Hemdani has been in the side recently its been like playing with a man down, he slows up the play, gets in the way of other midfielders and provides no out ball, get him tae f.ck !!

My team would be....

Alexander

Broadfoot...Weir...Dailly...Papac

Novo....Ferguson...Davis...Whittaker

Buffel

Darcheville

A midfield 3 of Davis, Ferguson and Buffel has the potential to win the vital midfield battle for us that will IMO determine the outcome of the game.

I'm sure he's suspended. I think the BBC have that wrong?

I can't see Broadfoot playing CB (it would terrify me tbh) so I would play:

-------------Alexander----------------

-Broadfoot---Weir---Dailly---Papac-

------Hemdani----Ferguson---------

---Whittaker---Davis-------Novo---

------------Darcheville--------------

I believe Thomson is back for Sunday, sure he was only going to miss one OF game :unsure:

Edit: I'm wrong, Thomson is out for Sunday. Replaced him with Hemdani

I trust what the BBC say with a pinch of salt, KT I'm sure had a 3 game domestic ban still not finished, he also had the 1 game UEFA cup ban, two totally different competitions, not even sure if he misses our next domestic game after Celtic?
