Alfredo called up

[Jjbscotty]

He’ll play a total of about 7 minutes we should refuse him going away.

 

[20rangersultras07]

Fcuk me.

 

[brain]

That is a ridiculous size of squad. He won’t play.

 

[sammy1872]

We are now looking at the possibility of our entire lead being wiped out because they managed to get the fixtures moved . If they had been played when they were meant to our lead could well have been double figures

 

[Ray Von]

Out of Ross County, Old Firm and maybe Livi.

*Softly bangs head on table.

All to probably get about 10 minutes of game time off the bench as usual.

 

[Main Stand]

I could see both sides of the old firm pressing the SFA to be honest, even with Kyogo injured as opposed to being called up - they’ll want their strongest team.

I can’t see this going ahead on the Wednesday.

 

[RFC80UK]

So Arfield, Sands, Aribo, Roofe and Morelos could all be away?

Is that right?

Arfield retired.

 

[Chris01]

It’s a blow but we can still beat them if we have no grounds to request a postponement. I don’t like Sakala up front in the middle but he has the pace to get in behind the scum defenders.

I’d favour sakala over itten every day of the week against Celtic

As you said pace is the main bonus - itten wouldn’t trouble them nearly as much imo

 

[ISOTSOG]

Time for our board to step up and get the games postponed.

The dignity head cases will argue with you

 

[TheFrenchTank]

Another reason why we need a striker in this window.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

We should be asking for a postponement. The tims fixture was due to be played with the international dates

 

[Dcalm]

Time for our board to step up and get the games postponed.

Calm down there, that won't help with the bridge building.

 

[Maida Vale Bear]

It's a 28 man squad? Is that normal?

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

We are now looking at the possibility of our entire lead being wiped out because they managed to get the fixtures moved . If they had been played when they were meant to our lead could well have been double figures

It’s almost as if they have the Scottish governing bodies etc working out how to help them win the league.

 

[Main Stand]

It's a 28 man squad? Is that normal?

Yes.

Larger squads in COVID times.

 

[W*A*T*P]

So Sands, Morelos and Aribo all possibly away. I thought it was just 3 we needed to ask for a postponement?

 

[TBM]

I thought he’d made himself available again

Officially retired over the past few days mate

 

[Casper Kent]

Jesus, this week is going from bad to worse.

Time to use that £12m Rangers. No point sitting on our hands for much longer.

 

[OzzyGersman]

I’d favour sakala over itten every day of the week against Celtic

As you said pace is the main bonus - itten wouldn’t trouble them nearly as much imo

Yep. Itten would be a good option off the bench if we wanted to go with a front line of Kent Itten Sakala. Particularly because the scum have quite a physically short team and Itten would be a threat at set pieces.

Morelos is a blow but we will still carry a potent goal threat from set pieces, Tav, Kent, Hagi and Sakala.

 

[TukTuk to Bangla]

Anyone that thinks the spfl would postpone the game to benefit us needs to consider stepping away from the bag of glue.

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

Calm down there, that won't help with the bridge building.

Sitting in the corner by ourselves won’t help get better people voted into positions within the governing body or help win backing for votes.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

I expect Sands and Roofe to be called up aswell.

Get it cancelled.

 

[Latinoheat_72]

Need to tell them to %^*& off.

If he’s not going to be playing he shouldn’t be going anywhere

 

[sammy1872]

let’s be honest the club ain’t signing a striker simply because Morelos misses 2/3 games . Anyone hoping for a striker this month is kidding themselves

 

[sammy1872]

I expect Sands and Roofe to be called up aswell.

Get it cancelled.

It’s not gonna happen but . The spfl will just reject our request

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

I expect Sands and Roofe to be called up aswell.

Get it cancelled.

Why call up Roofe when he’s injured?

 

[Gramps1]

We are now looking at the possibility of our entire lead being wiped out because they managed to get the fixtures moved . If they had been played when they were meant to our lead could well have been double figures

It’s worked out perfectly for them.

 

[bkerr72]

let’s be honest the club ain’t signing a striker simply because Morelos misses 2/3 games . Anyone hoping for a striker this month is kidding themselves

It's probably why Itten has been recalled because we've been expecting Alfie to be called up.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

We should 100% be asking for the game to be postponed

That’s Morelos and Aribo missing. Needs 3 to request a postponement,

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Another reason why we need a striker in this window.

Many strikers do we need.

Morelos, Roofe, Itten and Sakala

All internationalists

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Not great for us, but it should allow Roofe, providing he doesn’t get called up also, Sakala or Itten to step up and lead the line for us.

It’s not the end of the world. We can be overly reliant on him sometime without any great returns. Yes, he’s scored a few this season and looks like he’s enjoying life under Gio, but last night he was posted missing for the majority of the game when we needed him to step up.

I love the wee man, best striker in this league by a mile, but this may allow our other strikers to step up and be the main man. As I say, it’s not the end of the world.

 

[Coplandbear]

Scandalous.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Not great news.

Incidentally, the next round of South American qualifiers involve a game a few days before the yahoos come to Ibrox on April 3rd.

 

[DeeCeeTee]

The final decision as always lies with Celtic.

The game going ahead will depend on how many of their players are called up.

 

[Ally Shuffle]

Alfie should do us a turn and pull out the squad

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Many strikers do we need.

Morelos, Roofe, Itten and Sakala

All internationalists

Roofe injured constantly and Sakala never played as a striker more a winger, we need strikers.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

The game going ahead will depend on how many of their players are called up.

You’re not wrong.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

I expect Sands and Roofe to be called up aswell.

Get it cancelled.

It won’t be cancelled even if half the squad is away. Doncaster said as much. Unless the scum want it moved of course.

 

[Fergie90]

We beat that mob with no management team and our two best keepers out.

They are shite and if we need to play the match we should be confident.

I'd be raging if we to there with excuses in hand and sit deep and see what happens.

Beat them again with half a team and put them back in their box.

 

[DerekSSR]

Ffs man, stuck with Itten upfront.

 

[Mr Wilton]

He gets called he gets called. Will need to be Roofe, assuming he’s not called or Sakala up front, Sakala’s pace at them would be a good sight!

 

[rangeral]

Not great news.

Incidentally, the next round of South American qualifiers involve a game a few days before the yahoos come to Ibrox on April 3rd.

That is the next scheduled International break

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Be a tough ask at the mockits now but we're still capable.

 

[Swordfish1872]

Does he ever get a game for Colombia?

 

[OohAhHuistra]

I hope Walter Tulls post box gets knocked over and we call the game off

 

[vinnie]

That’s a BIG squad! Surely going to get narrowed down(?).

 

[Kris1872]

Fantastic so misses 3 games to sit on the fucking bench

 

[ShotaShuffle]

…….Sakala
Kent……….Roofe

 

[Gramps1]

Not great news.

Incidentally, the next round of South American qualifiers involve a game a few days before the yahoos come to Ibrox on April 3rd.

And the good news keeps coming ffs

 

[Kentbear]

Not ideal, but that is why our coaches get paid big bucks to field a team to do them.
