MOTM Poll Rangers 3-0 Livingston FT - Match Thread & Vote for your Man of the Match

[bigTAM weeTAM]

Could potentially be a lot of rubbish but heard a rumour McGlaughlin and Bassey starting. Probably rubbish

You called it!

 

[brain]

Aribo and Hagi keeping their starting berths aren’t really surprises. Barisic, Helander and McGregor being rested is more of a surprise.

 

[Helander]

Watch Live button active on RangersTV now. Takes you to the Erskine placeholder screen.

Do you get mygers points for attending the game if you watch with the VST pass?

 

[Nerf Herder]

Aribo from absolutely nowhere.

 

[Kirbys House]

Fair play to whoever posted the McLaughlin & Bassey starting rumour, wasn't expecting it to happen.

 

[Thechemist]

Surprised with the team. Thought itten, lundstrum and Mcgregor would’ve started and didn’t think aribo would be playing from the start. Definitely looks like one eye on the Malmö game

 

[Kampbell]

Maybe 4-2-3-1 ?

 

[sw26]

What a strange line up

Strongest side in league as much as possible at all times

Wheres the oxygen bottle

That team is more than good enough.

Combination of lack of fitness and keeping some fresh for Tuesday I expect which I’m fine with. Malmö is absolutely massive.

 

[vinnie]

Team’s a bit of a surprise, but still enough to beat this lot. Should be anyway!

MON THE RANGERS!!!!

 

[Est1872]

I don’t think Itten is all that rated by management tbh

Nonsense

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Surprised by that team. Figured Itten would start today and Sakala midweek

 

[Partickger]

Not the team I expected but still more than good enough.

 

[Batigol]

I think Itten has to consider himself a bit unlucky not to be starting. Should comfortably be enough to take care of Livi though

 

[StansgRFC]

What’s shagger on the bench for ?

Been shagging all night.

 

[Baz]

Are Borna and Hellander not fit? Surprised they are not even on the bench.

Balogun is suspended for Malmö game so think he was always likely to play instead of Helander today.

 

[Partickger]

Are we not very light on subs?

[bigTAM weeTAM]

Got to feel sorry for Itten,

Agreed

 

[NoOneLikesUs]

No qualms with a few being rested but I really would’ve started itten, he deserves it after a decent pre season.

 

[AppleBear]

Only real surprise in there is Bassey for Barisic which I’m happy with. Bassey is going to be a big player for us.

Delighted Aribo has cantered back into the XI. Both he and Kent are clear first picks for every match. Same for Kamara in midfield.

 

[cm72]

Sky showing “highlights” of the 1-0 defeat to Livvy vs us. They really are despicable bastards

My thoughts exactly,giving livi their pep talk

 

[HSMS]

Are we not very light on subs?

It's back to 7 this season.

 

[MSF]

Itten deserved to start today.

 

[SouthsideBlue]

How many subs are allowed on this season, still the 5?

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

no lb cover on the bench. is barisic injured?

 

[spaceman2]

Personally I'd have played Itten today against the deep lying defence and Sakala against Malmo when there will be more space for him to run into.

But I'm not Stevie G more than enough to beat Livi.

 

[Partickger]

Got the mask obsessed steward in our section, great start

 

[Riccles]

Looks like shagger will be the keeper for cup matches then....

 

[HSMS]

How many subs are allowed on this season, still the 5?

No, 3 from 7 again.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

A few surprises in there.

Must be saving McGregor, Barisic, Helander, Lundstram and Itten for Malmö.

 

[Recoba]

Are we not very light on subs?

No we are only allowed 6 plus one goalie

 

[loyd_grossman]

What a strange line up

Strongest side in league as much as possible at all times

Definitely unexpected, but in StevieG we trust. Could see Sakala running riot.

 

[SDF91]

Surprised at Barisic and Helander missing altogether. Gerrard said yesterday that he had a fully fit squad (Jack aside), so hopefully they’re just being rested ahead of Tuesday.

Lundstram on the bench and no Arfield I can understand with Kamara being suspended for Europe.

 

[RWB92]

John McLaughlin must have more my gers points than the shagger!

 

[Henry Hill]

How far off fitness is Roofe?

 

[AdiCR2]

I expect to see teams like this throughout the season. We will almost have 3 or 4 permutations per game.

Rotation will be key until everyone is fit.

 

[cm72]

Lot of quality not even involved today - Morelos, Defoe, Arfield, Barisic, Helander, Katic, Kelly, Jack. Bodes very well indeed!

Only if we win the game today!

 

[rangeral]

Can we still use 5 subs or is it back to 3?

Back to three subs then?

yes back to 3

 

[nelster]

Trying to beat Suck in the early photos stakes

 

[KGR98]

Would have gone with Itten today and Fashion against Malmo I'd expect Malmo to play out a bit being the home side and I thought a front 3 of Kent Sakala and Wright would be dangerous on the counter but will be interesting to see what the team has planned for today

 

[Kowloon72]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1421429685670621190

That's the team I expected (but with Roofe for Sakala).

 

[Mac72]

I thought they let us keep the 9 subs and it was up to the league. Did the SFA actually decide against it

 

[StansgRFC]

Hold up, are cunts live posting from Ibrox? WiFi working a treat.

 

[rangeral]

Are we not very light on subs?

Back to 7 subs in the League

 

[Modfella]

What's the rules with subs this year?
Have we gone back to 3?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Do you get mygers points for attending the game if you watch with the VST pass?

I think ALL season ticket holders will get points mate.

 

[scottishcampbell]

Our squad is looking really strong

 

[Fothyman]

That team and those subs are frightening. Add on Morelos, Helander, Jack, Borna who are not even there then we've got some squad now.

 

[WATP3006]

Sakala will score today.

 

[The Predator]

Looks like shagger will be the keeper for cup matches then....

Can't wait to see him lineup for the CL final
