Match Thread Kilmarnock v Rangers - 12:30 Sunday - BT Sports

[Boab4]

What now if there is no ufa tie on Thursday? Would we gamble or stick with the plan

No chance that game will be off.

 

[LiborSionko14]

Saw the video of the team coming off the bus.

No McGregor there other two keepers came off.

So expect Wes.

 

[Amo6591]

I know it's the cup today but I have absolutely no confidence in wes or Alnwick (tho jak imo is the better of the two) if we want to make a cup run shagger must start, we are a different animal with him in the sticks

 

[Henry Hill]

Is Mulumbu still at Killie?

 

[LoganBear]

Mcgregor

Barisic
Goldson
Katic
Flanagan

Arfield
Jack
Ejaria

Kent
Morelos
Candeias

My guess

Il be amazed if he goes with that team with europa game on thursday.

I dont think jack or candeias will start, 50-50 on morelos starting.

 

[Gazman_Airdrie]

Is Mulumbu still at Killie?

No, hes without a club currently.

 

[Amo6591]

Is Mulumbu still at Killie?

Currently a free agent

 

[Henry Hill]

No, hes without a club currently.

Good...


Well good that he won’t be playing today at least

 

[Yer da]

I hate this cup keeper pish. McGregor is ten times the player of the other keepers and has already kept us in games.

 

[Chester Perry]

Big chance for Jak or Wes to claim the number 2

 

[Amo6591]

Big chance for Jak or Wes to claim the number 2

The thought of wes terrifies me, no matter how great our back four have been

 

[jdm1873]

Big chance for Jak or Wes to claim the number 2

Will it not be Foderingham as he's been on the bench the last few matches.

 

[bkerr72]

Saw the video of the team coming off the bus.

No McGregor there other two keepers came off.

So expect Wes.

Robby McCrorie the 3rd keeper aswell he came off with Ross.

Think it will be Wes cause Alnwick hasn’t even been in the last couple of squads.

 

[davyboy83]

Is this game played to a finish or does it go to a replay?

 

[Davieblue1977]

Be wes in goal then

 

[Davieblue1977]

Is this game played to a finish or does it go to a replay?

Played to finish, ET if needed

 

[davyboy83]

Played to finish, ET if needed

Cheers mate . Need to bury them in the 90 mins. Last thing we need is extra time !

 

[Papablue]

Think they'll target Alfie today. Seems to be a go to tactic these days. Hope we get a good early lead then can sub him.

 

[Chimo]

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos
Subs: Alnwick, Flannigan, McCrorie, Jack, Candeias, Middleton, Sadiq

 

[Bonnyloyal]

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos
Subs: Alnwick, Flannigan, McCrorie, Jack, Candeias, Middleton, Sadiq

 

[The Lone Ranger]

Think they'll target Alfie today. Seems to be a go to tactic these days. Hope we get a good early lead then can sub him.

It will continue to be the tactic as long as he keeps biting back. Gerrard needs to calm him down

 

[_BlueNose_]

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos

 

[LiborSionko14]

Halliday holding mid.

 

[LoganBear]

The thought of wes terrifies me, no matter how great our back four have been

Not as good a goalkeeper as shagger obviously but the thought of wes terrifies you?

Really?

 

[Widdenheed]

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos

 

[The Lone Ranger]

Happy enough with that thought RM would have started in place of halliday

 

[Cromarty_Blue]

Surprised Flandini and Jack are on the bench, but 100% faith in the Gaffer to get it right.

 

[LoganBear]

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos

Sensible enough team.

Not risking jack and mcgregor.

Thought he might have rested tav and morelos for flannagan and umar but gaffers probably not wanting to change the team too much.

 

[AnglianBear]

looks like Gerrard trusts Halliday to do the business. In Gerrard we trust so we have to get behind him as always. 3-0 Gers, clean sheet and in to next round.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Cmon the teddy bears

LETS GO

 

[robandmundt]

Surprised at Halliday starting given the strength of the rest of the team. Hopefully three up by half time and we can give another couple of guys a rest, maybe bring on Sadiq and Middleton for the second half

 

[andy5836]

More than a good enough team to beat Killie in my opinion.

It's not just our right hand side that's strong going forward, our left side with Barisic looks equally as strong.

 

[Let’s Gio]

Halliday must be doing it in training.

Thought tav would’ve been rested but the st mirren game showed how we drop back when he’s not there

 

[stringer_bell]

Little bit too much Halliday this season for me.

Fine for cover but he shouldn't be starting ahead of Jack and McCrorie. We've got trophies to win.

 

[DeanCrosskeys]

It will continue to be the tactic as long as he keeps biting back. Gerrard needs to calm him down

Agree with this 100%, he needs to focus on shutting the defenders up by sticking the ball in the net, come on wee man gees a couple today.

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

What game is mccrorrie suspended for ? I had assumed it was this one

 

[TN8]

Halliday cue the rage.

Using the squad well.

 

[DougieJones]

Saw the video of the team coming off the bus.

No McGregor there other two keepers came off.

So expect Wes.

The first tendrils of fear just crept up my back!

 

[Henry Hill]

Surprised at Halliday being in but...
Hope Sadiq and Middleton get some playing time

 

[Muzza]

Sensible team selection. We should have enough to beat Killie with that team. Important to use the squad. Hopefully Greegs, Jacko, Coulibaly and Flanagan will be fighting fit for Thursday.

 

[Spinning Blue]

The team should be strong enough to beat Killie.

 

[Amo6591]

Not as good a goalkeeper as shagger obviously but the thought of wes terrifies you?

Really?

Maybe the last few years have scarred me mate, I hope I'm made to look like an idiot by him today

 

[Chester Perry]

The thought of wes terrifies me, no matter how great our back four have been

It does now after seeing how McGregor is playing

 

[Bobby_Dazzler]

Hopefully giving Coulibally a rest for Thursday.

Should have enough to do this today, patience required from the bears though as Killie will be tough to break down.

 

[karanja]

A wee bit surprised that there hasn't been more changes.

 

[cupfinalmoustache]

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos
Subs: Alnwick, Flannigan, McCrorie, Jack, Candeias, Middleton, Sadiq

Midfield looks weak, can let them run with the ball if Wes is in goals - any distance shot on target is likely to be a goal with him

 

[Sasquatch]

Think we'll win comfortably, but my main hope is to come away with no injuries on that surface.

2 nil

 

[stevie221]

I'm hoping for no injuries on the pitch, no red cards (that could cost us this season through suspensions), and a clean sheet. I hope the goalies have brought their A game after watching and training with Greegsy. In away games in particular, and in those in which a team can crowd the defence, I would love the first goal too.

 

[JayDee]

I'm not expecting an easy game. As for Andy Halliday, no offence to him but he wouldn't be my first choice. However I suppose it's squad rotation. All the best to him and the other lads.

 

[Kimarcus]

Come on let's do this.

Hopefully Lassana will be available for Thursday.
