Match Thread St Johnstone v Rangers - 12:15 Sunday - BTSports

[Pablo Escobar]

I don't think folk have taken this game seriously today. All focus has been on the next 2.

We need a combination of Hearts and Hibs. That's how I see today.

3 points nothing less

Spot on if we don't win today games in the future are less irrelevant

 

[OdinsBeard]

Lee Wallace makes it onto the bench.......

Worrall in, Halliday in midfield with Coulibaly and McCrorie. Rossiter on the bench also. No Ryan Jack.

 

[freddie_crawford]

No Ryan Jack?

 

[Amato Turn]

St Johnstone are 8th in the league, they'll also be lucky if they've got any more than a couple of thousand fans there today.

I'm not taking the game likely but I just don't agree this will be anything like going to Tynecastle or Easter Road.

[Rangerscoverboy]

No Jack is a blow

 

[Themaruso]

Guessing Arfield has had a set back

 

[The simshill one]

Ryan Jack missing is strange?

 

[Widdenheed]

So not that many changes after all.......

Not much coming off that bench however

 

[Amato]

Jack not even on bench is worrying

 

[TheStandardBearer]

The lack of creativity on the bench is pretty alarming.

 

[Widdenheed]

Guessing Arfield has had a set back

Not risking him for the wed-sat games imo

 

[derek145]

Not a great deal of creativity in the middle so needing big performances from the flanks

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

We are like a chocolate. Hard shell and soft in the middle.

 

[Jjbscotty]

What does the gaffer see in worrall

Correct!

At this point in time, today’s game is bigger than the games on the 26th and 29th!

 

[BWO]

Wallace on bench I see.

Hopefully this won’t be a repeat of Dundee

 

[spirit_of_93]

Big performances required from McCrorie and Halliday or this could be a struggle.

Going to need to score more than once as well I suspect...

 

[Hemdani]

That midfield will see us struggle today.

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

Wow surprises at that. Not a single bit of creativity in that team at all

 

[Davieblue1977]

Cmon the teddy bears

 

[remembertheepoch]

Oh dear this could be a disaster. Worral the man who drives 30 yards and then passed it back to McGregor

 

[mck1872]

Zero creativity in the midfield, no jack at all is pretty concerning.

 

[M@x]

It's almost the same team from the second half of the game we totally controlled on Wednesday.

Why the all the knickers in a twist?

 

[RFC_Champions]

Whats up with jack?

 

[Rangers4ever1971]

Why is Jack not playing any ideas

 

[RandyMac]

The curious case of Nikola Katic.
What is going on with him?

 

[Alex Venters]

Not risking him for the wed-sat games imo

If, as has been suggested, it's a hamstring then well be lucky to see him before the winter break.

 

[Alex Venters]

Why is Jack not playing any ideas

Took a knock on Wednesday.

Eggsactly

Ffs that is all we need.

 

[Bobans27]

3 points please Rangers, I really don’t care how they are achieved....

 

[Charliedontsurf]

FFS, I've been doing so well!

You have and it is much appreciated .Thank you

 

[Blue Tack]

I really worry about the midfield here ,I think we could get bullied badly .

Hope im so wrong

 

[Stu_m85]

Midfield worries me.

Could be another 0-0 today tbh.

 

[Alex Venters]

Zero creativity in the midfield, no jack at all is pretty concerning.

We don't have a creative midfielder in the squad.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Apart from more pressing fact that we need a win today, Jack missing out is a big blow with the games we’ve got coming up after today.

We need Jack and Arfield for those games.

My only other comment is that it is bloody depressing to see Worrall in ahead of Katić, but I’m fed up saying the Croatian should be starting for us every week now.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Took a knock on Wednesday.

Hopes hes available for hivs on boxing day

 

[BlueBritain]

Come on the Teddy Bears.

3 points for my birthday please!!!!

 

[Mcphail1872]

No jack and no Arfield is a big concern. Worrall in again for me is another worry st Johnstone are in decent form.

 

[Stu_m85]

So what's the story with Jack?

If this midfield starts against the tramps we're as well just forfeiting the game.

 

[Alex Venters]

I really worry about the midfield here ,I think we could get bullied badly .

Hope im so wrong

Bullied? With McCrorie and Coulibaly in there, no chance. We may well get outplayed but not bullied.

 

[White Cafu]

If, as has been suggested, it's a hamstring then well be lucky to see him before the winter break.

They said it was just precautionary taking him off midweek, if true, it's probably a bit too early to take the risk today but hopefully ok for Hibs, tims at least

 

[M@x]

We don't have a creative midfielder in the squad.

Something some on here find difficult to understand!

 

[dublinbluenose]

It's almost the same team from the second half of the game we totally controlled on Wednesday.

Why the all the knickers in a twist?

It’s a match thread on FF and it’s the home of knicker twisting

 

[Nerf Herder]

That central midfield is honestly pretty shocking.

I fear this is going to be a long 90 minutes, an early goal would be nice to take the edge off.

 

[bullen an la]

Wow surprises at that. Not a single bit of creativity in that team at all

yeah, daniel cant create
this place is nuts

 

[Vamos_buffalo]

I find the team selections baffling at times.

Rossiter our out the team completely then randomly starts then out the team completely then makes the bench

Lee Wallace practically no future at the club then gets a place on the bench.

Strange

 

[Cooperfan]

As weak a midfield as we've played. Big performance needed. Jack must have a knock.

 

[East end loyalist]

Morelos to score a hat trick up the rangers
