Rangers vs Blackburn Rovers Match Thread

[baystatebear]

This will be an interesting challenge in that a comfortable win would confirm that substantial and genuine progress has been made by Gerrard in building a Rangers team worthy of the name.

 

[Jaws II]

Hopefully we don’t concede anything and score a few.

 

[Dougiethebear]

Anyone know if there’s a pay at the gate for wheelchair access? Tweeted the SLO but no response as of yet? Thanks in advance

 

[Antsy]

Dont think this will be an easy game, should be a good test for the defence. Dack, Armstrong, Gallagher are all good players. Even danny Graham will give us a good test physically. They've a few decent midfielders too but I'd expect us to cause their back line a few problems. 2-1

 

[Thesuperger]

I’m going 1-1

Based on what lol we will score a few today.

 

[Gaz030191]

We will have to concede at some point so in a twisted way I wouldn't mind if Blackburn scored first.

We've yet to see how teams copes with bouncing back from mistakes. Better to get it out the way now that opening day of the season.

This shouldn't be too severe a test, no more than Wigan last year.

Derby will be our first real examination.

3-0

 

[AllyAdair]

a win and no injuries please Rangers.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Different challenge today from the Marseille game. Blackburn Rovers will be fitter and physically more robust. They, unlike Marseille, will be 'up' for the game. Should be a decent balance of skill and sweat from them that we've not encountered yet.

I don't expect to win at a canter this week but I'd love us to keep yet another clean sheet. 2-0 would do nicely.

 

[Amstel]

Pay at the gate ?

[Gerrard55]

3-0

 

[Vamos_buffalo]

Think there will be a few changes with thursdays game in mind, I’m going 1-1 or 2-1 to us

 

[DRAGO]

Heading over with the weans to pay at the gate. Was there bother with it at the last game, should I factor in an extra 20 minutes?

 

[WinkieWATP]

4-0 easy peasy.

Got a fiver on @ 20/1

 

[Recoba]

We will comfortably beat Blackburn today regardless of what side plays

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

2-1 to the famous

Earlier the better is my experience with PATG.

 

[Edmond Dantes]

Ojo special

 

[thornhill bear]

No idea how Blackburn play or what state they are in so I will go for a conservative 2-0 win for the Rangers

 

[SenoraCuellar]

As long as we win to keep the squad's chins up, I'll be happy.

 

[Bigbluebear]

Does charlie mulgrew still play for blackburn? Cant be very good if he is still a starter.

 

[nithbear]

Headed to Ibrox now for this. First visit in 22 years. Gonna be emotional. Can't wait!

Bloody hell that`s a while to be away..... Enjoy your day
Rangers by two clear goals at least;with preferably a clean sheet;and no injuries!
Mon The Gers

 

[LD5]

Will be a tighter game than a lot of people think I reckon

 

[ICA_86]

Lack of capitals in the thread title is harassing my OCD.

This will be quite tough but I have no idea how good or bad Blackburn are.

 

[The Predator]

4-0

 

[Sam English]

I'm going for a 2-0 win today.

 

[HenningBerg]

With the weather and the open golf being on tv I think the crowd could be hit a bit today . I’m sure we will still see around 30k which for a friendly is superb . We are going to easily surpass 100,000 paying punters to see four ore season friendlies - remarkable .

 

[Recoba]

@StaunchGer54 looking forward to the exclusive, breaking team news in 13 minutes

 

[RWL12]

Ojo special

Didnt feature on Thursday. Hope he is desperate and hungry to constantly be on the pitch and show what he can do

 

[Treble Kings]

This'll be nothing like easy. Rovers are a decent outfit that play in a competitive league. It'll be a good test of where we are right now.

He's their captain

Looking at the available seats I'd say it's nowhere close to 30k.

 

[julescotia]

I'll plump for 1-0 to us.
No injuries though, please.

Well he's at the top of ITK you know.

 

[Realger34]

Love reading posts like this on forums before games against English teams.

I'll say 3-1

Wasn’t to overly bothered but now the battle fever is on.

Cmon Rangers!!!!

 

[LD5]

 

[giogaddi]

That's a strong team.

 

[_BlueNose_]

RANGERS: McGregor; Tavernier, Katic, Edmundson, Barisic; Jack, Davis, Arfield; Jones, Ojo, Defoe.

SUBS: Firth, Helander, Murphy, Halliday, Aribo, Kamara, Morelos, Docherty, Stewart, Polster.

 

[Recoba]

Wooft full assault then on Blackburn and Mowbary

I like it

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

If they come to attack that team will annihilate them

 

[KGR98]

Helander in the bench would imagine he would get on at some point

 

[LD5]

Actually a pretty full strength team, wonder if they'll do a new team at half time.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Strong team

 

[Vivis Sperandum]

Cmon Rangers!!!!

Agreed, into these smug cunts.

 

[AnglianBear]

Wow, very strong team!

 

[Recoba]

I predict after today it will be 22 goals scored and none conceded so far this season.

Take from that what you will

 

[BajanBear]

Looking at the team I've just put Rangers-1 on at 2/1 with Betfair.

 

[karanja]

Think that's about 3 away from our first 11.Strong team and plenty on the bench.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Strong team

Strong team

Just look at that bench too..............strength in depth.
