Match Thread Kilmarnock v Rangers - 12:30 Sunday - BT Sports

[Grigo Yossarian]

^ My first thought also,I thought Murphy looked absolutely f.ucked on Thursday coming off as well-not sure I'd have started him today but in the gaffer we must trust-he's hardly let us down after all thus far.

I know we're Rangers and want to win every game and every trophy,but Europe is so much more important for me if I'm honest.

Agree about Europe’s importance Cav but win this today & we are a game away from a Hampden semi.
Why leave out Jack when he was out for over a week already ?

 

[Barrymoped]

My concern too, against a team that we lost to twice last season & also drew.
I hope the manager hasn’t under estimated Killie.

I don’t think he is. It’s more a case of trying to keep certain players fresh with a hugely important Europa League tie coming up. We are probably still one or two players short of what’s ideal hence the slightly weaker lineup

 

[Daviot Bear]

Win by 2 clear goals for the Rangers

 

[Chester Loyal]

It’ll be interesting to see how Wes looks behind a decent defence.

Halliday at holding mid is worrying but we are short of options so it’s a case of needs must.

 

[bloodandfire]

McGregor,Flanagan,Jack,Coulibaly,Rossiter,Dorrans,Candeias and Lafferty missing from that line up.
Good luck to the lads today starting.

You forgot Solanke

 

[magicoop]

Do people who are slagging Wes forget some of the dumplings who played centre half in front of him?

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

I don’t think he is. It’s more a case of trying to keep certain players fresh with a hugely important Europa League tie coming up. We are probably still one or two players short of what’s ideal hence the slightly weaker lineup

I accept what you’re saying Barry but Ryan Jack left out after already being out after the sheep injury ?
I just feel that the closeness to a Hampden semi is worth playing him imo.

 

[im_a_good_bluenose]

That bearded betfred ad wanker puts me a total rage. I'd never tire of punching that khunts face

 

[Beer Bear]

I’m 100% confident we’re going to pump this mob. A totally different feeling from last season. Looking forward to watching Barasic playing.

Steven Gerrard rocking the cardigan.

 

[LiborSionko14]

Is the gaffer wearing a Walter Smith-esque cardigan?

 

[Spinning Blue]

Fancy us to win well today.

 

[Blue Tack]

Gaffer with a wattie style cardigan on !

Staunch as fu ck

 

[Spinning Blue]

Is the gaffer wearing a Walter Smith-esque cardigan?

Yep, Walters cardie is back.

 

[Baloo72]

Came on to post the same

Steven Gerrard rocking the cardigan.

Beat me to it - looking good as always

 

[Seaside Blue]

I’d love us to destroy Killie. They got too big for their boots last season.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Midfield is a concern for me but completely understandable not to risk Jacko if Lass isn’t 100% for Thursday.

I’d have given young Glenn a run on the left.
Him and Borna linking in the left would give the fullback the fear.

Take any kind of win but would be great to get Big Sadiq 45 mins if we have a strong first half.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Beat me to it - looking good as always

Handsome, magnificent bastard.

That pitch mate,they're an absolute disgrace.SG is thinking the bigger picture,some will agree with that and some not-I'm behind the gaffer,as much as I want us to win today.

 

[cairngorm]

Slightly concerned about this game today, prove me wrong Rangers

 

[Leif Erikson]

FFS McCoist, his name is Morelos!!

 

[Coop2005]

There's only one way you can test how strong your squad is and learn who you can rely on. Stevie G sees them in training every day and imo players deserve a fresh start to show the manager what they can do. Let's Go.

 

[stringer_bell]

Barasic to score a free kick.

 

[Beer Bear]

I’d love us to destroy Killie. They got too big for their boots last season.

I want a wee bit of payback for that game at Ibrox last season.

 

[WATP_74]

Halliday in midfield.
We're on a wing and a prayer.

 

[No T in Mikhailichenko]

Back to a poet cock sucking ref I assume.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Come on Rangers, win and no injuries.

 

[basilboli]

Tough match we really need to take chances early on.

2-1 Gers

 

[Spinning Blue]

Right Gers let’s get into them.

 

[Renoranger]

Forgot I have to renew my annual Rangers TV subscription today. What do I click on to do this. Anyone know ?

 

[abz_bear]

Foderingham gives me the fear now after getting used to greegs again

 

[Deleted member 125]

VAR - really?

Who are these expert ex-refs?

All Tims no doubt.

 

[O.K. Bear]

Fancy this could be a tough test. Clarke sets his team to be hard to breakdown and get in about it. The pitch adds another dynamic to the game.

And the orange top

 

[Barnster Bear]

Take our chances and we will hump them.

Mon the Bears.

 

[Banbridge_Bear]

VAR - really?

Who are these expert ex-refs?

All Tims no doubt.

Interesting to see how it will be used..........today

 

[Davieblue1977]

Nice orange top today

 

[noops12345]

The orange strip is fantastic

 

[Buzz07]

I hope Morelos tortures Broadfoot.

 

[Deek]

VAR - really?

Who are these expert ex-refs?

All Tims no doubt.

Is it just a BT tool or proper VAR?

Surely it needs to be used competition wide or not at all?

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Gaffer with a wattie style cardigan on !

Staunch as fu ck

Brown brogues?

 

[sandyinroyalblue]

Fods becomes the first player to ever wear No.13 for The Rangers?

 

[Boab4]

Using VAR, this will be interesting

 

[Spinning Blue]

Mandarin top looks splendid.

 

[usbear]

Clubbedfoot will defo try and wind up Morelos

The wee man needs to keep the heed

 

[Leif Erikson]

This pitch is a fucking embarrassment. And that's at the start of the season.

 

[YOGI_GER]

Cant stand that strip of ours.

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

That pitch is embarrassing.

 

[Truckerman]

What a shite looking playing pitch

 

[Spinning Blue]

Who’s the cheating ba5tard refereeing today?
