Match Thread Kilmarnock v Rangers - 19:45 Wednesday - BT Sports

[Tydfo1872]

I'm very confident we will win by at least two clear goals tonight.

 

[servicepoint]

I’ll be happy with a narrow win, tricky game for us tonight, they are decent and that pitch is a leveller.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Same team & formation as Sunday.

I think that will be a mistake sadly.

Can't see it. Same team as OF game except big Gareth in for Goldson.

 

[Rangers daft]

The players must approach this game with the same attitude as they did the beggars game.... Dropping points is not an option.

 

[56 ASAP]

Three points tonight please.

 

[Cutty/Young]

Kilmarnock on good form and played on a shitey pitch which they are used to,going for a draw tonight as they always give us a tough game.

 

[PetricPower]

Got a cheeky £10 on Defoe to score and the famous to win @ 5/1

Mon the Gers, I’m looking forward to this one.

 

[1914-18]

I'm not keen on this new formation just to fit Defoe in. I think it will hamper us for a few weeks, can see tonight being a struggle now, hope I'm wrong though

 

[allyballyalbertz]

You're dropping McCrorie for coulibaly?

Yes, I have faith in him, that he can turn it around, no slight on mcrorie at all, just see coulibally as a box to box, with skill and pace.

 

[Dr Steve Brule]

I have a bad feeling about tonight and it's been doing my head in all day.

Really hope I'm proved wrong by a great performance tonight.

 

[Kaiserweiss]

4-1 Defoe With all them

 

[bouverieblue1872]

Same team that started against Celtic please.


Ps and 3pts

Certainly limited skill mate

What new formation? What's the line up and formation?

 

[Porto Loyal]

An aside, but roll on the new TV contract and all the games are on Sky

 

[The girvan lighthoose]

Can't see it. Same team as OF game except big Gareth in for Goldson.

Same team as the 1st half on Sunday although Halliday in for Flanigan

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Same team that started against Celtic please.


Ps and 3pts

Goldson is out. Confirmed yesterday.

 

[Crouchy]

Disappointing if the team is being leaked.

I thought we had that sewn up when Miller left. We managed to stem the flow of info to @Butcher6

 

[cannavaro]

I expect Davis and Defoe both to start tonight

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

Disappointing if the team is being leaked.

Where are you seeing the team leaked?

 

[SuperGers07]

Can't see Defoe starting surely...... Davis will

 

[Walter2]

Let's just win this one rangers, fancy 2-0,to the Glasgow Rangers, but any win will do,no injuries please on this whore of a pitch.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Same team as the 1st half on Sunday although Halliday in for Flanigan

Halliday played the first half too. Flanagan played centre half.

 

[BrunoseAlves]

Big game under the circumstances and demands big performances from the players. Let's crank up the pressure Gers.

 

[klosrfc]

3-1 Morelos 2 Defoe 1

 

[allyballyalbertz]

Certainly limited skill mate

More than mcrorie I'd suggest, at least in a creative sense, but as I say, no slight on mcrorie. It's what I'd go, but I'm not the manager so no harm no foul

 

[mkgers]

Buzzing for this tonight, been a long time coming.

Hoping for a strong, positive display a la timskelping

 

[Bluebrox]

3 points are a must. Simple as that.

Do it Rangers !

 

[And_The_New]

What new formation? What's the line up and formation?

4 3 1 2

Kent playing Central. Defoe and Morelos up front. We varied between being very narrow to the two strikers splitting wide sometimes.

We looked dangerous going forward, created numerous chances right through the middle which isn't like us. We normally have to resort to crosses from wide which we still got in this formation from the full backs.

On the other hand we looked easy to get at with Helsinki finding lots of room down our wings.

Nervous about a change in formation as well.

 

[bpfurian]

Any sort of win will do for me as per usual.
Points in the bag is all that matters.

 

[davmcc]

Can't see Defoe starting surely...... Davis will

Both starting mate.

McGregor, Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall, Halliday, Jack, Davis, Arfield, Kent, Morelos, Defoe

 

[What's the story]

So nervous about this one.

 

[Bluebrox]

Both starting mate.

McGregor, Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall, Halliday, Jack, Davis, Arfield, Kent, Morelos, Defoe

Confirmed ??

 

[Bluebrox]

So nervous about this one.

Yep. Got the butterflies now mate.

 

[Barrymoped]

Can't see Defoe starting surely...... Davis will

I can. We have struggled against Killies stubborn 10 man defence and hitting us on the break, we got Davis and Defoe to counter this exact thing.

 

[Prestwick Bear]

So nervous about this one.

So am I mate, always the same before our games. Was a a complete bag of nerves before the scum game and look what happened. Nerves are good, we will be ok tonight bud.

 

[Recoba]

Come on Rangers ! buzzing for this

 

[Vamos_buffalo]

Come on Rangers ! buzzing for this

Sitting watching it in the house and I’ve opened my first can.

Can’t wait until kick off.

Seems like ages since we beat the bheasts from the east

Let’s Go Rangers

 

[ItsInTheNet]

Not one for the butterflies usually but I'm really experiencing them tonight. Come on Rangers!

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Both starting mate.

McGregor, Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall, Halliday, Jack, Davis, Arfield, Kent, Morelos, Defoe

Big risk by the Gaffer.

 

[Recoba]

Same mate, just waiting on my mates coming down

 

[StaunchGer54]

Let's go!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blutoe]

Both starting mate.

McGregor, Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall, Halliday, Jack, Davis, Arfield, Kent, Morelos, Defoe

Looks like a midfield four in a diamond if this line-up is correct

 

[LiviLoyal]

Confirmed ??

Think @davmcc tends to be fairly good with his info. I’d be inclined to believe that.

Not what I’d have gone with but Gerrard knows better than me.

 

[DoitdoitdoitnowWATP]

A masterpiece tonight. No surrender!

Really don’t think this is the game to be toying with new formations

 

[Davieblue1977]

Cmon the teddy bears

 

[alex wright]

Both starting mate.

McGregor, Tavernier, McAuley, Worrall, Halliday, Jack, Davis, Arfield, Kent, Morelos, Defoe

I'd be disappointed if that's our starting eleven. Not in the personnel but the fact that our team was leaked before a vital league match.

 

[Widdenheed]

Personally a wouldn’t be changing shape in one of our hardest games away from home

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

I would be surprised if we do not just stick to the 4231 for this.

back 4 of Tav, Katic, Worral and Barisic. Midfield 2 of Jack and Davis, 3 of Kent, Arfield and Candeias with Alfie up top.

Defoe to come on when it is won or when we are desperate for a goal
