All three of them MU, let’s be honest mate, over different games.
Absolutely mate.
I think the Niko one stands out for me more because it was at Ibrox and I'd a great view of it in the Main Stand.

One poor game 1st time he played there but in his last game there he was outstanding never gave Dykes a sniff
I hope not he is useless
Yes, he did absolutely struggle with him, no doubt.
To be fair, he’s not our style, but he’s a good player in my opinion.
Some folk don't think Swedish international Helander can cope with Lyndon Dykes?
I agree.
He's quick, has a good touch, is strong in the air and most definitely puts himself about.
Jullien and Ajer can vouch for that better than any of our central defenders.
Goldson and Helander strolled it against Dykes the last time we played at Livingston.
I was front row behind the goals and was worried after how he fared in the first game there, but they never gave him a sniff, Jack dropped back to pick up the 2nd balls, was impressive to watch at close quarters.
That would be my pairing for sure.Emundson and Goldson would be sensible then.

When the season starts so smoothly you don't play Edmundson in a tough away tie. He's raw and tbh that's my kind take. I'd sooner start Helander and Goldson.
Unfortunately, it’s known that Helander doesn’t like it at Livingston.
We have 2 centre halves who kept out lyon and nice?Not ideal as I would prefer not to risk Helander on that abomination at Livi either.
I expect you’ll be right here but the fact that he was dreadful against them on their horrible pitch makes the fear understandable.Helander has played 2 games at Livingston and is yet to concede a goal there. This whole thing is being blown insanely out of proportion for some bizarre reason. He had a shaky introduction to that abomination of a pitch, and then absolutely strolled it the second time round. Zero to worry about from Helander.
He never put a foot wrong pre season, deserves a chance.

Thought he had got ash in his eyes from that cigar he was smoking.

gaffer mentioned his quad m8 .hope it's not wentBalogun landed really heavily after being upended it was a bad one and he's probably stiffened up and had bruising thats the hammer throwing SPFL standard for you.
Edmundson has the strength to deal with dykes.Emundson and Goldson would be sensible then.
Both him & Goldson struggled with him. You miss that match mate ?
In fairness bud, Helander was caught cold that night. I don't think anything can prepare you for that pitch and a big dumpling like Dykes.
He breezed through the game when we played them a couple of months later.
Even if Balogun was fit, I'd be playing the Swede in this one.

The last thing we should do against Dykes is go head-to-head with him, he'll win a good proportion and get free kicks for most of the rest. Cut out the knock-ons and get someone in about him when he's bringing it down is the way to reduce his effectiveness, was it Davis did well at this in a previous game?
He then went back a month later and Dykes never got a kick that poor performance gets a bit exaggerated on here from memory he had a poor first half then was fine the second half. He had only been a rangers player a few months and was still getting used to Scottish footballGutted he’s likely out. Helander probably had his worst performance for us on that Livi pitch.
Equally, Dykes hasn't managed to get out a centre-backs pocket yet this season. Joe Shaughnessy at St. Mirren made him look like he'd never played the game before.Both him & Goldson struggled with him. You miss that match mate ?

Edmundson is no slouch, was shocked at how fast he was in preseason games.He’s got pace Winkie. Roasted the Tim’s with it a few times.
Aye I've regularly been impressed with him. Having seen Livi a couple of times this season now, Craig Sibbald and one or two others tend to be what makes them tick just now. Wouldn't be a surprise to see Dykes put a decent shift in against us tbh but he's been woeful this season so far.That guy Shaughnessy's a very under rated player Dude. Had a cracker against us last season.
I'm not trying to big up Dykes, just look at what the risks are to us getting the 3 points.

Haven't seen him this season and we know he won't put in the same level of performance against us. Has the hype got to him, though?I never seen such a myth grow around a player on the back of two decent performances. You'll be lucky if he's won more than a couple of headers so far this season.
I don't think the hype was ever really merited tbh.Haven't seen him this season and we know he won't put in the same level of performance against us. Has the hype got to him, though?
Aye, I get that. I'm asking if you have an opinion on what Dykes thinks having seen a bit of him this season.I don't think the hype was ever really merited tbh.
