[Safetybear]

What exactly does Stewart have to do to get into the squad

Injured.

 

[Arkanoid]

Have I missed a suspension for Greg Stewart?
* I see he's injured

 

[Jim Denny]

What exactly does Stewart have to do to get into the squad

Calf injury mate

 

[Aceaz]

What exactly does Stewart have to do to get into the squad

Not be injured with a strained calf.

 

[buffalosoldier]

Not be injured with a strained calf.

 

[ca100]

Wes

Patterson
Edmundson
Katic
Halliday

Jack
Davis
Aribo

Jones
Arfield
Defoe

Surely Arfield and Aribo will swap.

 

[standardbarger]

Patterson starts, excellent.

I agree but we are very weak at left back if Barasic gets injured.

 

[atcolin]

Who is Captain?

 

[NI-Bear]

Injured.

When did this happen? Gerrard didn't mention him in the presser or I must have missed it if he did

 

[SuperGers07]

Glad we didn’t play it negatively safe with Flanagan.

 

[peasandgravy7]

so no sub for Defoe

 

[Boab4]

I agree but we are very weak at left back if Barasic gets injured.

Luckily there's no chance of that tonight.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Surely it's Aribo on right as usual instead of Arfield?

 

[TinoWatp]

Brilliant opportunity for Patterson, as a parent myself i hope i feel the delight for my son as they will tonight for their boy ! Go on and do them proud lad !

 

[gc92]

Hope young Patterson smashes it tonight

 

[Boab4]

so no sub for Defoe

I'm sure Ojo would replace him if needed. I expect him to get 90 minutes though.

 

[SuperGers07]

so no sub for Defoe

we are an interchangeable forward line. Plenty options

 

[dynamo_rosco]

My one tiny criticism is that there’s no need to have Kennedy, Barker and Ojo.

would have preferred Dapo for Barker

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Big game for Jones. We need him pushing for a place in the team.

Excited to see how Patterson does. Irrespective of the opponents, there's always pressure at Ibrox and it'll be interesting to see how he handles.

With this midfield and front line, we should be killing off the game early.

 

[devilman]

so no sub for Defoe

Imagine both Ojo and Barker could play there if need be.

 

[der_hammer10]

What an opportunity for young Patterson here. With Tav out for several games , he can really stake a claim for contributing to #55.

Great to see Jones back as well.

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

Add Borna that's our back line of the future.

Should be plenty to win by a considerable margin.

 

[standardbarger]

Luckily there's no chance of that tonight.

No but it shows what could happen at a critical part of the season which would mean Halliday or Flanagan, not a bad side overall though against a poor team we should score a few tonight.

 

[Wade Wilson]

Who is Captain?

Jack or Davis I would think

 

[Adam55]

Where’s Greg Stewart?

 

[Ubik]

i really like that team

 

[Ubik]

Where’s Greg Stewart?

injured

 

[academical]

Strong team

Not saying I disagree, but that’s 6 or 7 first team regulars missing.

Very strong middle to front.

More to the point.

 

[Partickger]

Where’s Greg Stewart?

Injured.

 

[Themaruso]

Awful bench.. Definitely shows we need a 3rd striker in and id be keeping doc!

 

[dh1963]

That midfield should mean we have 90% possession

 

[AnglianBear]

That is a VERY strong team!

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Don't why but I'm feeling confident tonight.

 

[Scarlett]

Not keen on the lack of experience in the defence, but I'm not the manager clearly so will shut up and enjoy the game!

 

[ItsInTheNet]

7 nil to Rangers. Aribo hat trick

 

[JD1872]

One surprise to me is Halliday ahead of flanigan, thought it would make sense to get Flanagan the match time in case we need him with Tav potentially out next week

 

[Boab4]

Awful bench.. Definitely shows we need a 3rd striker in and id be keeping doc!

Neither would be in the squad for any game this season.

 

[giogaddi]

Not be injured with a strained calf.

Hahaha

 

[greenockbear]

Apparantly theres a tim playing for them called Jordan Allan. Im thinking he could be a great shout for a few quid on him to be booked.

 

[Themaruso]

Neither would be in the squad for any game this season.

I would definitely disagree with that, a 3rd striker would have been on a few times.

 

[academical]

That is a VERY strong team!

Were you expecting it to be a youth select?

 

[AllyRFC]

Delighted to see Patterson start. That midfield and attack should absolutely destroy this lot.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

I'm surprised at how strong the midfield is.

 

[Boab4]

I would definitely disagree with that, a 3rd striker would have been on a few times.

Defoe struggles to get game time. Greg Stewart is our 3rd striker and very rarely plays.

 

[Themaruso]

Defoe struggles to get game time. Greg Stewart is our 3rd striker and very rarely plays.

Is he our 3rd striker? I wouldn't say that.

A 3rd striker imo is a must.

 

[dh1963]

Defoe struggles to get game time. Greg Stewart is our 3rd striker and very rarely plays.

And never as a striker

 

[Seaside Blue]

Much as I would like to see Patterson it would make more sense to give Flanagan the game as Tav will miss five or six so he will be getting a run in the team.

5 or 6 games for Tav? Never realised he was out that long. Jeezus.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Is he our 3rd striker? I wouldn't say that.

A 3rd striker imo is a must.

The fact we don't know for certain who our third striker is says it all about how often he is needed

 

[Denimdemon]

One surprise to me is Halliday ahead of flanigan, thought it would make sense to get Flanagan the match time in case we need him with Tav potentially out next week

Agree to an extent but I doubt Stranraer have much in the way of attacking intentions so better to have a left back that’s more comfortable getting forward

 

[Coop]

4-0 to the teddies.
