[mck1872]

Rangers team to play Aberdeen : Alnwick, Tavernier, Martin, Bates, Halliday, Holt, McCrorie, Candeias, Dorrans, Murphy, Morelos.

GMS makes the Sheep starting lineup and McGinn is out completely.

Does he play right or left? Really hoping they don't have a fast direct right winger tonight with us having no left back.

As predicted. I think Goss a bit unlucky.

All very predictable, Goss should be starting ahead of holt

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

Nae Goss ?!! Ffs!

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

McInnes trying to pull a fast one announcing yesterday that Mackay-Steven wouldn't make it.

 

[Damsidebear]

3 points please Rangers.

 

[Nerf Herder]

I'd have played Goss over Holt but otherwise it's about as good as we can muster.

 

[Scrubs UK]

Why the fook is Alves not starting?

 

[CaptainCourageous]

FFS, that's a shit line up.

 

[Damsidebear]

Why the fook is Alves not starting?

Agreed, think I'd have him in before Martin.

 

[bert]

Shoukd start goss I have a bad feeling tonight

 

[Bear all]

Dorrans has done nothing since his return to stay in the team,Holt can be to lightweight also not liking those two hope im wrong.

 

[Barbarossa]

Goss is struggling with a cold app

Even Docherty I would play ahead of Dorrans. We need energy

 

[GioVanBee]

Shoukd start goss I have a bad feeling tonight

Even though he is unwell

 

[TheGoalie44]

With Goss being ill, that's almost as good as can be. Alves for Martin aside. At leasr Ross is in the middle.

 

[MarkieBR3]

Alves....good enough to Play with Portugal and go to the world cup.
Only in Scotland hes deemed not good enough to oust Russell feckin Martin!!

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

Dorrans has done nothing since his return to stay in the team,Holt can be to lightweight also not liking those two hope im wrong.

Agreed mate.

Hope I am wrong, but Dorrans and Holt give me the fear. Prove me wrong lads !!!

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

FFS, that's a shit line up.

F uckin woeful.Halliday and Dorrans are shit.Martin is worse.

 

[texascot]

Nice to see Rossiter on the bench. I hope he can get some game time tonight and also on the weekend. Then wrap him in cotton wool until preseason training starts!!

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

Even though he is unwell

He can't be too ill if he's on the bench.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Martin over Alves.

An attacking midfielder over a natural full back - Hodson is a better option at FB than Halliday who's utterly atrocious and will struggle against pace.

Holt - why, he's shown time and time again that he's does virtually nothing bar run. He's like a wee boy.

Dorrans who allowed to put in numerous garbage performances and still finds himself in the team - Martin and Dorrans are undroppable.

This nightmare is about over.

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

Agreed mate.

Hope I am wrong, but Dorrans and Holt give me the fear. Prove me wrong lads !!!

Holt will give more fight than Dorrans.To me Dorrans is a bit lazy.

 

[RFC1976]

Glad McCrorie starts in the centre hopefully allow Dorrans to get further up the pitch to support Morelos

 

[Bigeye]

Players should be motivated by the 2nd place finish and a later draw to start the EL. Also just beating the SSB's, or am I just hoping with blind faith ?.

 

[Shankill Loyal]

Why the fook is Alves not starting?

Was about to ask the same thing.

Martin is brutal.

 

[Bigeye]

Rossiter must be fully fit now, he was on the bench last game I think.

 

[JD1872]

Ball starting in midfield for them and Cosgrove up front, whoever he is

Martin over Alves.

An attacking midfielder over a natural full back - Hodson is a better option at FB than Halliday who's utterly atrocious and will struggle against pace.

Dorrans who allowed to put in numerous garbage performances and still finds himself in the team - Martin and Dorrans are undroppable.

Harsh on Holt.

Time and again he’s been the only one who looks like it means something to him.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

F uckin woeful.Halliday and Dorrans are shit.Martin is worse.

Given that Goss is ill, we could, theoretically, have played Hodson, Alves and Docherty. Quite honestly, it wouldn't have been much - if any - improvement.

 

[ChernoSamba]

Tonight is the night we all fall back in with Dorrans. Further forward with McCrorie behind you'll see a different player.

 

[Amato]

Alves doesnt want to play, more worried about sitting on the bench for Portugal in the World cup!

 

[hamiltonbear7]

I like Dorrans in that no.10 role. Far more suited to it than sitting deep. Fancy him for a goal tonight. 15/2 to score first. 3/1 anytime

 

[Spinning Blue]

Christ Alves not in ahead of Martin.

 

[SDF]

Dorrans needs to deliver tonight. No more excuses.

You have the experience. You have the talent. Show it and stop passing the buck.

 

[Barbarossa]

Tonight is the night we all fall back in with Dorrans. Further forward with McCrorie behind you'll see a different player.

Didn’t make much difference on Saturday

 

[Spinning Blue]

And Dorrans owes us a BIG performance tonight.

 

[Parkmachine]

Come on Alfie, you’re due us a performance Bruv!

Come on lads!!

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

Given that Goss is ill, we could, theoretically, have played Hodson, Alves and Docherty. Quite honestly, it wouldn't have been much - if any - improvement.

I think Doc would want to impress.Hodson though shit is a trier.Alves, f uck knows.

 

[Discophrenia]

He meant legal streams of course, admin. Just looking to borrow someones password*

*bears helping bears

Of course I meant legal streams...

Downloaded now tv with a day pass cause I'm legit

 

[MoodyBlue1872]

Holt will give more fight than Dorrans.To me Dorrans is a bit lazy.

Yes mate. IMO Holt gives the effort but he lacks an end product. Lot of running about but little to show for it. Could do with the composure, vision and passing ability of Goss in there.

Dorrans would be nowhere near my starting line up.

 

[thornhill bear]

Blimey. NO Alves ffs! Shame Goss is struggling I would have preferred him in the starting 11

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Harsh on Holt.

Time and again he’s been the only one who looks like it means something to him.

Yet rarely wins a challenge or does any thing of note bar run around.

He's absolutely powder puff.

 

[Papasmurf]

Good point, well made!

These players MUST know Gerrard will be watching and their future career here is dependent on them impressing him enough to think they are worth keeping.

Would have thought that at the weekend and they were pish

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

And Dorrans owes us a BIG performance tonight.

Well and truly mate.

 

[Spinning Blue]

Is Cummings still ill from the weekend?

 

[themightyi]

McCrorie in the midfield.

Thank Christ for that.

 

[ChernoSamba]

Didn’t make much difference on Saturday

He was much better in the second half on Saturday.
