Tramps v Rangers

Put Sterling alongside Lundstrum & Diomonde in the middle of the park & we might have a chance.

1-3 Dessers to score 2 and Tav penalty

Thanks for picking up the slack , I was going to start this thread tomorrow as that is ample time for the two or three people ( including you) who actually post nowadays .

Its now or never for the team , nothing but a win will do and even if we don`t go ahead on goal difference , an odd goal win will reduce it to 3 with two games to go. No fans is not an excuse.  St Johnstone , Hearts and Kilmarnock have all gone there and taken points this season without many fans so if they can do it so can we .They have come to Ibrox , won and drawn so again if they can do it so can we ..
We need to start well , believe we can win and play with courage , there is nothing to be scared off , they ain`t that great .  

Hopefully , Yilmaz will be fit to play at left back and personally and I would rather have a fit Balogun at centre back than Davies. In midfield I agree that pushing Sterling in there to give us a strong three against their three might be a good tactic , it would require a wee tweak to how we play but it could pay off . Even if we keep it tight early then put more attackers on later when they run out of steam , as usual .Up front it will be Dessers  plus two .It would be nice if Sima and Matondo were available to give us some good pace in the wide areas as I would be worried about Silvas temperament after watching him in the game at Ibrox .He will be getting singled out for stick and Collum will be under pressure to punish any diving around , we can`t win with 10 men so he would be benched if I was in charge.

It will be difficult but they seem to be the ones mouthing off this time , especially that slime ball Rodgers and they seem a bit over confident so it would be nice to go there and really stick it right up them.

I`m going for an odd goal win  to the Gers , probably 3-2 as thats quite a popular OF score line and we haven`t had one yet. 

I believe we can win as I'm not convinced they are good as they think they are but we can't afford another slow start, make less mistakes defensively and be more clinical.

Least Goldson definitely won't be playing but the thought of having to play Ben Davies doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Due to availability alone, I think we we need to go to a back 3 with Sterling, Davies & Souttar and play Yilmaz and Tavernier as wing backs to push their wide players back.

Ryan Jack played 45 mins for the youth team tonight against Queens Park.
Nowhere near match fit but he’s done it before.
Would at least be a great option from the bench for the last half hour or so.
It’s not much but it’s another wee plus point.

   At his best ( and fittest) Jack would be exactly what we need for this game , but they days have long gone .I can`t see anyway that he plays in this game having played just 45 minutes in months , watching him plod around as the scum players run away from him as not something I would want to see .

I suspect he may get some minutes in the home game against Dundee , if the match situation allows it , just to say cheerio to the fans . 

Unfortunately, we've lost a few of older posters who were quite prolific.

If he's going to play Jack then it would make more sense to gamble him from the start. They are notoriously fast starters so it would be pointless bringing him on for the second half when they are likely tiring.

Only way to go for me due to availability is 3 central defenders, 2 wing backs, 4 in midfield and 1 up front e.g.

GK: Butland
RWB: Tavernier
RCB: Sterling
CB: Souttar
LCB: Davies / Balogun
LWB: Yilmaz / Barisic
CM: Diomande
CM: Lundstram
CM: Jack / Raskin
ACM: Lawrence/ Cantwell / Matondo
FW: Dessers / Silva / Roofe

 Sadly this is also true . 

I know he’s been shit lately but I’d gamble Lawerence in place of silva and go 4-4-2.

I think he’ll start with Borna for a last hurrah and him to score the winner.

Hopefully I won't be damaging my Tele again !!
But I'm on Currys webpage having a browse, fearing the inevitable
