Next week's line up. My guess.

4-5-1
Same goalie and defence assuming Barisic is fit.
Midfield of Jack, Davis, Arfield, Aribo and Hagi.
Kamberi up front.

Drop kamara and Kent.

Thoughts?

Kent's been needing dropped for weeks. Alfie being suspended could really cost us.

I hope Barisic is okay.
 
McGregor

Flanagan Goldson Katic Borna

Tav Arfield Hagi Aribo

Alfie Kamberi

Defence sorted and Tav in midfield where he should be.

We went to 4-2-1-3 with 3 forwards and 1 “number 10” instead of one striker and two inside forwards.
Guess what? We looked FAR more deadly and dynamic.

This is how rangers should play. No inside forwards supporting a lone striker. 3 goalscoring hungry strikers and an attacking midfielder. We have two attacking full backs so we can get our width from them, supported behind by the 2 holding mids.

..............................Mcgregor
..................Goldson............Katic
Tav.......................................................Borna
.......................Jack.........Davis
...............................Hagi
............Arfield.....Kamberi....Kent

And for the record, this Sunday I would leave Kent and Arfield on the bench and play the same team but with Stewart Morelos Kamberi as the front three like this....


..............................Mcgregor
..................Goldson............Katic
Tav.......................................................Borna

...............................Hagi

This is how we went after an hour tonight (except Arfield for Jack) and it’s the most fluent and dangerous we’ve looked since last year.
 
4-4-1-1

McGregor
Tav Goldson Katic Barasic
Arfield Jack Davis Aribo
Hagi
Kamberi​

Stops their wing backs pushing forward and keeps things compact in midfield

This for me. Hagi is a central 10 all day. Kent has lost his place, big fee or not. The 4 across midfield should help us get tighter to their wingers and fullbacks who had so much space all night.

Kamberi is also physical and good at making the ball stick which will be vital.

Ryan Jack will control the midfield. Kent as an impact player. Defoe if Kamberi is knackere
 
Hate glue and much prefer weed however, Tav could be a very good right sided midfielder and certainly much better than Davis right now. He can also be a capable defender when needed.

Some good shit you're smoking there.
Can you explain how you intend to get Alfie out there considering the whole planet know's he's suspended?
Maybe give him Barker's shirt, some whitening make up and a bad wig / haircut?
You ever thought of taking up football management full time?:))
 
They have only failed to score in two home games and I don’t think we’ll keep them to a clean sheet. We need a formation set up to be aggressive enough to score there. It’s going to be a very tough challenge.
 
We’ll definitely need to do something to stop their wide play. Acres of space all evening. Can see a flat 5 in midfield
 
To help out Flanagan when Braga try to isolate him.

I've got an even better idea, don't play Flanagan at all, play Tav at right back, then we don't need to play Tav in midfield to cover for Flanagan, and we'll be able to play an "extra" player in midfield that can contribute?
 
I think Kent will play central. They left a helluva lotta space in behind.

This. McCann at the piggery style

McGregor
Tav Goldson Katic Barisic*
Jack Davis Arfield
Hagi Kent Aribo

Play on the counter and kill them with speed over the top
