Match Thread Rangers v Kilmarnock - 15:00 Saturday - RangersTV.tv

[Ciro]

Surely needs to find a way to get Defoe and Morelos playing today. Otherwise it is inevitable they will park the bus and counter and we will struggle.

Gerrard has to show he can do something else tactically

Agree, I also want to see Defoe, absolutely no point him being here to sit on a bench for 80 minutes every week. Pointless signing if that continues.

Let’s hope he’s freshened the side up. Get McCrorie back in and Katic. Also Halliday. Get Middleton back involved. Fast and direct.

 

[FortressVillage]

Really want to see both Alfredo and Defoe from the start today.

 

[LD5]

I would go

McGregor // Tav Worrall Katic Barisic // Kent McCrorie Kamara Grezda // Defoe Morelos

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

Mcgregor
Tav Worrall Goldson Halliday
Kamara McCrorie
Davis. Morelos. Kent
Defoe

 

[Neilstonger]

Hoping for an early goal today to settle nerves on and off the field. No songs about their manky manager and a nice, comfortable 4-0 win. Dundee to beat the scum tomorrow and the title race is back on. Not much to ask really.

 

[Bearsuk]

1-0 Rangers

3pts

This. Because that's how champions do it.

I would laugh my ass off ... Also Dundee's winning goal offside.....

 

[Arkansasgerstill]

What a bizarre team we have become this season. We start every match thread somewhere between a 4 goal win or a one goal defeat, and yet the truth is that if we win 9 games in a row, there is every likelihood we will be champions. If only it was the old days you would be almost certain we could do the, but not now. Prove me wrong Rangers. One goal win today then just 8 wins to go Come on The Rangers

With respect, 1 nil at home to Kilmarnock is NOT how Champions do it.

With respect, you obviously haven’t seen many winning Champions! My 50 years following Rangers has seen many titles won on the back of winning 1-0 at this time of the season against defensive teams like Killie

Surrender monkey nonsense

Champions win games. It doesn’t matter if it’s an easy 6-0 or a sh*te 1-0 with a last minute deflection from a centre half who’s volley was heading out for a throw-in!

I was at that game.....won us the league!

Yes it is, in fact if we were grinding out wins against teams that sit in we'd be about 10 points clear.

 

[dh1963]

We've lost more games this season 1-0 than won games 1-0.
Champions don't do that.

 

[IslayGer]

And we've drawn more games than ever,thats where weve dropped most points.

We can't do give in a row let alone nine. See if you accept it's not happening the pain goes away when they let you down time after time

 

[buffalosoldier]

We can't do give in a row let alone nine. See if you accept it's not happening the pain goes away when they let you down time after time

It also gives you the exact same mindset and credibility as a hibs or sheep or any other pointless shite fan

 

[RFC97]

McGregor
Tav Goldson Worral Halliday
Davis McCrorie Kamara Kent
Defoe Morelos

My team also but Katic in for Worral

 

[Ambiorix]

I see the mentalism has started early in this match thread. Is it not traditional to wait at least a couple of minutes into the game?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

And we've drawn more games than ever,thats where weve dropped most points.

Its the draws that have killed us. 4 defeats is the same as the Dhims. That's how fine the margins are. A lucky break, a decent refereeing decisions etc etc.

I think we will try the 4-4-2 diamond today again. There's a case for dropping Golson and Barisic but I think both will start. This is assuming Jack and Arfield don't make it.

..................…..McGregor...…………………….
Tavernier.....Goldson…..Worrall.....Barisic
………………......McCrorie...………………………..
…..Kamara...………………………..Halliday...…….
………...…………..Kent...…………………………..

Very narrow, I know but its time for something different. Katic could easily come in and keep the same shape.

 

[RFC97]

Please no Daniel Candeias and please no Ryan Jack

 

[Axelrod]

Please no Daniel Candeias and please no Ryan Jack

Jacks doing the lounges today so he definitely isn’t in the squad

 

[dh1963]

I want to see Defoe and Morelos today but not sure what formation is best to fit them in.
The diamond was a flop against this same opposition.

Thinking maybe a sort of 4-1-3-2, with McCrorie being ths 1, but is it too narrow? Is that just the diamond anyway?

 

[RFC97]

Jacks doing the players lounge today so he definitely isn’t in the squad

Good. Big Ross should definitely be getting a look in today then.

 

[Gers]

I’d experiment today.

Start planning for next season, try new things.

McGregor
Goldson Katic Worrall
Tav Kamara Arfield Davis Barisic
Defoe Morelos

McGregor
Tav Goldson Katic Barisic
Kamara Jack Arfield
Grezda Morelos Kent

Defonlike the look of the first time u put up.

 

[Stevie13000]

Please no Daniel Candeias and please no Ryan Jack

I agree, especially candieas.

Maybe other posters on FF are starting to wake up and smelling the coffee. I noticed most predicted team selections do not have candieas in it.

What’s happened to all the candieas “ he is a cracking wee player” posters, they finally seeing sense!

 

[chilebear]

Oh yes it is,
Grind them out,

He is a cracking wee player.

Every now and again.

I like him but he annoys me, he is overly petulant when we are down and is a wasted jersey.

Thats definitely a new slant on pronouncing Alfies surname

He's like most of our other players - inconsistent. Nothing more.

 

[Tagsbear]

He is a cracking wee player.

He is indeed a good player, but he’s inconsistent, in the way you’d expect from a 500k journeyman winger.

He’s the new target for some who love to abuse players though.

 

[RFC_Champions]

With respect, 1 nil at home to Kilmarnock is NOT how Champions do it.

I’d take 1-0 win right now.

Infact, I’d happily take that every game from now until the end of the season! (If we do that, we’ll win the league imo)

 

[Stevie13000]

Saying a player is not good enough is not abusing him.

There is a reason the guy has had more clubs than tiger woods.

 

[Chimo]

 

[Chris01]

Same front 3 again.

Great....

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

Glad Katic is in.

However relying on Candeias again is a worry.

Why is McCrorie not even getting a sniff never mind a game now.

 

[wd1872]

Coulibaly in front of McCrorie ?????????????????!!!

Candeias ????????????????

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Katic - nice

Coulibaly - wait what

No McCrorie/Defoe - why


Basically my thoughts seeing that team

 

[im_a_good_bluenose]

no ross again that's disappointing

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Katić back at bloody last!

 

[RFC97]

Wtf

Well at least it’s different.

Same 4-3-3 pish though.

Why no McCrorie, why the same front 3, why no Defoe?

 

[Jjbscotty]

4-3-3 again..

 

[ca100]

Coulibaly ahead of mccrorie is a strange one

 

[mck1872]

Just me who is annoyed Worrall got dropped and not Goldson?

 

[Barrymoped]

Coulibaly in front of McCrorie ?????????????????!!!

Candeias ????????????????

Surprising but maybe Ross isn’t playing well in training, that’s the part none of us see.

 

[Vader]

That team is not inspiring confidence. Season's over and we still can't get experiment with a way ti fit Defoe in. Defoe's not going take up the option of next year at this rate.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

What an odd midfield.

 

[Macdonsj]

Just me who is annoyed Worrall got dropped and not Goldson?

It's a shite decision
Goldson has been shakey for weeks and was abysmal midweek
Worrall didn't deserve to be dropped
