Hearts will be every bit as nasty as Ross County.
Give the players a day off. Get minutes into Aaron Ramsey.

^^^^^This, the players who are going to be our starting line up on Wednesday must be protected, I am not using the word rested as I feel protected is the right word for games against teams from the Scottish League. Just look at some of the tackles from RC, at least two should have been straight red's. No one is going to tell me that the Hearts players are going to take it easy, if they see an opportunity to hurt one of our players they will do it.McLaughlin
Devine/ (Zukowski if fit) King Simpson Fraser
Sands Davis Lowry
Amad Itten Sakala
No one starting the Euro final should be anywhere near this game.
Can't see that happening, needs to be wrapped in cotton wool.This'll surely be all the young players. Maybe Ramsey for extra minutes.
Hopefully Hearts will play a decent game - they will surely recognise that we could give as much as we get from them if we are pushed into it. They won’t want to risk any injuries ahead of the cup final.Hearts will be every bit as nasty as Ross County.

Not seeing this option on RTV site.Yes
Look for 3 day pass option covers the game

Overoptimistic? Probably.
I would go further and also leave out Sakala, Davis and Sands as all 3 may well have an important part to play from the bench on Wednesday, or as a replacement in SC Final for anyone injured in EL final.^^^^^This, the players who are going to be our starting line up on Wednesday must be protected, I am not using the word rested as I feel protected is the right word for games against teams from the Scottish League.

Itten can’t play in the Final - even if he were to play and get a double-hat-trick today.If Itten plays and scores vs Hearts does he then start the Cup Final next week?
Sounds unlikely but we will need a striker and given the expended efforts of Wednesday night, if he’s fit and confidence is good I wouldn’t be against it.
The attributes he does have could be useful in a Cup tie where you will need someone to hold up the ball in the final third at times.
Seems madness going with the same group Weds and Saturday so some changes are needed.
Ramsey can’t play 2 games in a row, so he will need a rest tomorrow.
I just can’t see this at all.Cant see gio resting everyone. Few players maybe. Maybe devine or zukowski will come on for tav later on, maybe half time.
Mclaughlin starting
Balogun or king starting instead of bassey
Lowry davis and sands maybe start
Still think kent will start or feature at some point
Same for sakala and wright
On sky bet somehow were still 5/4 favs
Looks like most from the B team will play today
Prepare for a shockIf any of the final team are playing this one I’ll be surprised.
Was thinking the same, don't want them to play but they seem to prefer playing than being rested.It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Tav and Goldson start this. Although I hope I am wrong. Hopefully, Roofe is on the bench.
I’m going to pish myself if we play the b team and win!

I hope your right. I agree about i couldnt care less either. I just have a feeling he will want them to keep up match sharpness and momentum going into frankfurt. I really hope he does keep out the big gunsI just can’t see this at all.
I think you will be lucky to see one or two players featuring that will start on Wednesday.
I honestly can’t think of a Rangers game in history that I have cared about less. It’s all about midweek
Anybody that is in line to start on Wed will not get anymore than a 30 min cameo today I’d imagine.I hope your right. I agree about i couldnt care less either.

It's a training situation for both teams . It doesn't affect anything in terms of the league or European spots or anythingIf, as we all hope the team is a reserve team, watch for the calls that we should be fined for fielding a weakened team.
I know this is a rule but has any team actually ever been fined for doin it? Surely not?If, as we all hope the team is a reserve team, watch for the calls that we should be fined for fielding a weakened team.
Fandom doesn’t come into it. Neilson’s a professional, and no professional tells other professionals to deliberately injure a player.I would like to think that Robbie Neilson, who is iirc a Rangers fan, will tell his team not to injure any our players as he will want us to win on Wednesday. Next Saturday is a different story of course.

They’ll impress enough to be considered for the bench at the final. Unless they’re rabids.But if Hearts have no first team players starting, what deterrent would that be?
I'm not overly concerned though. Think it'll have a training game feel.
Aye that’s fair, maybe the like of Ramsey and Roofe might get an hour.I suspect that it only be players that need to get minutes in before Wednesday
Suck in goals and Edgar in attack to talk their defence to sleep
Looks about right.
Wouldn't play lana wolf in goals, she'll let about anything in

Robbie Neilson is not a good Manager but he seems like a reasonably intelligent guy so must realise everything rests on next weekend for him and his team.Fandom doesn’t come into it. Neilson’s a professional, and no professional tells other professionals to deliberately injure a player.
Plenty of balls in the palms of her hands though.Wouldn't play lana wolf in goals, she'll let about anything in
If Andy Cameron comes on and starts singing, he'll be red carded.

Today will be about trying to sharpen players not fully fit and protecting the key players who are ready.
Basically the same as Rangers with the only difference being we have a good, deep squad and they do not.
I’d also expect the normally rowdy Tynecastle atmosphere to be badly lacking due to low crowd numbers and general disinterest.
All of which helps us.
Same on Bet365 mate. 5/4 us and 19/10 Hertz with the draw at 11/4. Draw seems a good bet.On sky bet somehow were still 5/4 favs
Need to be overseas or on VPN. Its all in the thread that @DocStone has kindly included in the OP of this thread (as always!).Is the game on Rangers TV? I cant see the option to buy it

I loved that Wee song “ strong as an ox with standards high “If Andy Cameron comes on and starts singing, he'll be red carded.
