Match Thread Rangers v Aberdeen - 19:45 Tuesday - Periscope Loyal

[dh1963]

I'll be getting the line up in the next 15 minutes guys.

We all will, that will be an hour before kick off.

 

[Captain_Sticky]

Curious as to why folk thing we'll change our formation tonight?

As I think he’ll look to get Defoe into the side somehow given we’ve struggled to score against Aberdeen and Hibs. Not sure I fancy it but I think he might given SG alluded to finding different solutions in the final third on Friday post match.

 

[Yer da]

We all will, its released an hour before the match....?!?

Can’t believe you still get bites on this!

They ain't clever in midfield and I'd like to see us go 4-4-2.

McGregor

Tavernier Goldson Worrall Halliday

Candeias Jack Kamara Kent

Lafferty Defoe

Arfield and Morelos ready to come off the bench if needed.

I kind of agree but then I think why leave one of the best young strikers in the world on the bench in case our bent referees book him ?

Huge call for Gerrard tonight

 

[TimzRFudz]

Top comedy...

 

[ssblue]

I will be absolutely stunned if Alfie doesn't start.

 

[TimzRFudz]

Can’t believe you still get bites on this!

Usually at the game and miss the match thread bantz.

I need to re-evaluate my life...

 

[Dalai Lammers]

I’m abroad at the moment.

Are there any European stations showing this live like the Kilmarnock game?

I know everyone said it was a total blackout but there was a German channel showing it if I remember correctly

 

[Walter Sobchak]

He's got to start Morelos. No point 'saving' him for a match at might not even make it to if he doesn't play.

Aberdeen in a must win Scottish Cup Quarter final - play your strongest side.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Ideally Morelos plays and we go with the settled team, but we all know the script.

Lafferty and Defoe will cause them a lot of bother, especially with two wide men turning their full backs.

We play our strongest team mate. Worry about what happens next after the match is won.

Surely not serious! This is our biggest game of the season now. Our best players start or we might not have any more big games this season.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Start Alfie. No point worrying about the semi final until and unless we get there.

However long he plays tonight, it’s up to him to stay out of trouble and not get carded.

 

[Boab4]

Team as expected.

 

[Cooper11]

Alfredo starts

[ssblue]

Barasic in for Halliday.

Rest unchanged.

 

[buffalosoldier]

Same team again, Barisic in for Halliday.

Firth on bench

[indianabluenose]

do we have periscope yet

 

[Damsidebear]

 

[SuperGers07]

Wes injured?

Andy Birch on bench

 

[Jjbscotty]

Thought we might have changed it up tonight against the sheep they seem to know how to come up against this system. mccrorie not even in squad

 

[Skoosh1872]

No McCrorie on the bench is a surprise.

 

[london_bluenose]

do we have periscope yet

That would mean someone wasting an hour of battery life. Periscope will only come up at kick off.

 

[dh1963]

No McCrorie on the bench?

Must be injured.

 

[Bluebrox]

Good move with Barisic back in.

 

[ca100]

Mccrorie not on the bench?

 

[Boab4]

Wes injured?

Andy Birch on bench

Who

Edit... Remember that thread now

 

[exiled bluenose]

Halliday in for Baricic

Okay I am in america day light saving through me off. Guess I am only 4 hours behind then.

 

[LiviLoyal]

Interesting situation tonight. Can’t see anyway Alfie gets through this without a booking but can understand why Gerrard has started him. Looks like it’s SF against the beasts without Alfie assuming we do win tonight.

 

[Boab4]

Halliday in for Baricic

No.

 

[dh1963]

Say this a lot, but if we like this formation I don't get why there's never a winger on the bench.
Injury to Candeais or Kent means whole shape has to change or someone out of position

 

[Dave_1872_9]

Good team, let’s go Gers. Bit surprised they’ve left Stewart on the bench.

 

[JCDarcheville]

Sense prevails from the gaffer in picking his strongest team!

Come on Rangers.

 

[Papasmurf]

I’ll try to stick it up on my twitter. No promises.

I agree but Middleton has struggled badly recently and Grezda is clearly not fit enough so other than Atakayi we don’t have one. I’d give the youngster a go but he’s just back from that injury v M/well too.

 

[buster60]

Astonished to see some people still calling for Lafferty to be in the team.

 

[gerrard32]

Please will someone reply or send me the periscope? ;-)

 

[Byson]

Still no periscopes ?

 

[Teddyjohn]

Totally agree mate.....no winger (Middleton) on the bench and three midfielders. If Davies is so bad at present then there is no point in having him on the bench at all.

Agree mate 2 central midfielders and 2 strikers but no wide men. Maybe it's a cunning plan

 

[the_baron]

Strongest team. Don't know why there was even a debate about starting the Colombian Supremo.

 

[Jelle1880]

No way will those bastards respect the minute silence I'm afraid

 

[noucamp72]

That's a strong line up and if we go about our business in the correct manner we batter them.

Forget tactics,it's a cup tie at home and a high tempo and desire right from the start will get the job done.
You would hope this time around we won't come up short.

Correct and I believe viewers in “Germany” can watch again tonight on a gambling site

 

[Bighuggybear]

The only person that can stop us winning tonight is the referee again.
