***The Official Rangers v Motherwell Thread***

This is going to be an interesting weekend, with Papac suspended the rumours are that both Smith and Whittaker still won't be fit for the weekend, do we go with an adventurous 3-5-2 formation as Thomson should be fit, or is Dailly going to be drafted in at Right back with Kirk playing on the left, favoured option for me is giving a youngster a chance to shine.

For a 4-4-2 formation this is my preferred:

-------------------------------McGregor--------------------------

Broadfoot------Bougherra---------Weir-----------Kinniburgh

Davis-------Mendes-------------Thomson-----------Beasley

--------------------Boyd--------Miller---------------------

If we do adopt a 3-5-2 formation then this is what I'd like to see

---------------------------McGregor--------------------------

------Bougherr-------------Weir-----------------Broadfoot

Davis------Mendes----------Edu----------Thomson----Beasley

-----------------Boyd------------Miller---------------------

As was shown in the Celtic game Walter does sometimes through up a wee suprise every now and then.

*If Whittaker doesn't make it then Dailly will have to slot into RB and Broadfoot onto the left.

*Beasley should be given another start, he's only going to get better if given the chance to play regularly.

*Hopefully Thomson and Lafferty will be back with Lafferty featuring at sometime and Thomson replacing Edu.

*Aaron has to be given some game time soon aswell.

Agree fully... Although would like to see Nacho, but depends on how the game is going, if we are comfortable then Aaron must get game time (tu)

Definitely want to see DMB get a run in the side

Can't play Beasley after Saturday, Novo earned a start.

A 3 man defence against Motherwell is a bit risky when one of the 3 is Weir, not the fastest.

Adam starting to look as if he has some hunger again.

So.

McGregor, Broadfoot, Weir, Bougherra, Whittaker/Dailly

Davis, Mendes, Thomson, Novo

Miller, Boyd

As much as i think Kinniburgh is a very good left back, for a youngster to come into the full back position they need solid cover from the winger, which Beasley doesnt provide very well. Novo or Adam would be better suited for that.

Hopefully rack up our 17th SPL win in a row at home :)

nice stat (tu) anyone know the record for most amount of consecutive home wins ?

and this game is definitely Sunday ?

Yeh just managed to get the day off work to go :D

Its Sunday because Well are playing in the Uefa cup on thursday

I can see this being a very tough game which if we win itll be by the odd goal, hopefully Motherwell will be knackered

Broadfoot needs to stay on the right.

It appears that Whittaker and Smith are unfit. In that scenario maybe Edu will play at LB?

McGregor

Broadfoot Weir Magic Edu

Davis Thomson Mendes Lafferty

Miller Boyd

Maybe Aaron will get some time.

My guess is that Motherwell will be tired after their game on Thursday and we will win by three goals.

McGregor

Broadfoot Weir Bougherra Papac

Davis Mendes Thomson Beasley

Boyd Lafferty

Papac was red carded last match.

Ahh shit, just habit sticking him in there!

I'd play Whittaker then if he was fit, if not I'd have one of the young lads play.

I'm going to be slightly controversial here and suggest that we match them man for man on Sunday and go with an attacking 4-3-3 formation. We all know that Motherwell will play a similar formation so if we match them and take them game to them (as the scum did on Saturday) the are vulnerable at the back.

My team would be…..

McGregor

Broadfoot…….Weir……Bougherra……Whittaker

Thomson

Mendes……..Davis

Novo…….Boyd…….Miller

Our midfield three of Mendes, Thomson and Davis has enough quality to control the game and the pace of Novo and Miller either side of Boyd will cause them all manner of problems.

Some good news on the defensive front, it looks like Whittaker might be fit enough to play this weekend.

Meanwhile, Walter Smith could have Steven Whittaker back for this weekend's game against Motherwell at Ibrox.

Sasa Papac is suspended and it looks as though the former Hibs player will be drafted in as cover.

"Steven is looking as though he will be fit for the weekend and if that's the case he can come back in," Smith told the Rangers News.

"Both he and Kirk Broadfoot can play in either full-back position so we will see. They have both featured at left-back so we'll make a decision nearer the game."
