Team For Rangers

[Cobra]

Hartley has some difficult decisions to make after an outstanding performance last night.

I'd go with this team for Ibrox...

----------------------Bain

---McGinn----O'Dea---Julen---Holt

--Kerr----McGowan---Ross---Stewart

------------------Harkins

------------------Hemmings

Unless Konrad and O'Dea are still injured, I would guess be'll go with his 'usual suspects'. No reflection on yesterdays starters but he likes to meep a settled side.

Agree I'd rather go with Kerr and Stewart on the flanks than Stewart and Loy.

Agree with your team Cobra.

It's mad, because it's very harsh to drop anyone from last night, but our full strength team are in great form.

[Dariusz Dee]

I think it'll be back to his normal team come Saturday.

Fingers crossed ODea is fit.

[RossDee21]

Back to normal for Saturday I would assume. Doubt Kerr and Wighton would have the legs for another game so soon. Team will be:

Bain

McGinn

O'Dea

Jules

Holt

Stewart

Ross

Gowser

Loy/Low

Harkins

Hemmings

Thought the team that started against Celtic did such a good job why not play them again to start. I'd have thought that Celtic would provide a bigger test than Rangers. It must have been really demoralising for Celtic to have our best players coming on as subbie's. Just a thought that our team looked stronger as the game went on.

I really don't think Loy should be used on the wing after seeing other options there. He was very good last night and did well through the middle paired up with Wighton but based on what we saw from Kerr and Low, both of them are better equipped to work with the defensive side of things and Kerr in particular is good at just driving forward and changing our pace of attack.

The team was set up last night to close down quickly, stop Celtic building from the back and to hit them on the break, this is a high energy ploy that needs players like Kerr, Low and Wighton not your Gary Harkins and Greg Stewart types. Against Rangers we should be going at them not trying to stop them playing, they are not a great side and will also be considerably weakened.

I reckon we'll go with the OP line up except that Konrad will start ahead of Julen, Stewart will be on the right and Loy on the left i.e. back to normal. Still gives us great options from the bench if needed.

Back to the 4-2-3-1 formation for me.

Bain

McGinn, Julen, O'Dea, Holt

Gowser, Ross

Stewart, GGH, Wighton

Hemmings

[HK Blues]

I'm wondering if part of the reason for the performance last night was the carrot of a place in the line-up on Saturday being dangled by PH?

If so, It's gonna be a tough choice for Hartley.

All good.

Happy to go with that as a better strategy!
