Ridvan and Lawrence

[Craigie]

Would start both next week.

Lawrence offers more of a "direct " goal threat than Cantwell and will be more likely to get up close to Dessers.

Ridvan had the jersey before his injury and, assuming he's fully fit, comes straight back in for me.

Rest of the team as today's starting line up, assuming Balogun is fit.

Not sure Lawrence has the pace to play at the crime scene. Lots of running off the ball will be required

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Absolutely not to Lawrence

 

[JD1872]

Ridvan makes a huge difference to us. I’ve thought for a while it would be worth trying Lawrence on the left. At least he can shoot and also play a creative pass

 

[Clay Davis]

I like Cantwell but it seems the Old Firm occasion gets in his head a little too much especially this season.

Lawrence can have a dig but can he play at the intensity of the game or will it just pass him by.

Fck knows. Just get these bastards beat.

 

[Brighton_Loyal]

No way I’d start Lawrence next week, has to be Cantwell

 

[Chimo]

Lawrence doesn't have the legs to start v them, simple as that.

 

[Albus]

Ridvan absolutely, plays it forward and doesn't have a history of falling to pieces Vs the filth.

Borna would be a disaster

 

[Boab4]

Ridvan makes a huge difference to us. I’ve thought for a while it would be worth trying Lawrence on the left. At least he can shoot and also play a creative pass

That’s his natural position on the left, he’s just not got the legs for it now.

 

[mountloyal]

Lawrence scored a beauty today.
Has been a let down too often. I would not start him next week.

 

[Ronald de Boer]

Lawrence is poor. An excellent goal against 10 man Kilmarnock doesn't change that.

 

[julian candy]

Keep Lawrence for the last 20 minutes.

 

[BoxToBox]

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves as Lawrence came on ahainst a tired 10 man team. He’s been woefully ineffective when he’s started any time.

 

[georgedoors]

Need goals from midfield as our frontman can't be relied on .

 

[MartinS93]

Lawrence is terrible. A terrible, terrible footballer. Can hit a ball, don't get me wrong, but would be another man down next week.

Yilmaz has to start.

 

[Otto Bear]

The manager will go with:

Butland
Tav Balogun Souttar Ridvan
Lundstram Diomande
Sterling Cantwell Silva
Dessers

I’d go with:

Butland
Tav Balogun Souttar Ridvan
Sterling Lundstram Diomande
McCausland Cantwell
Dessers

 

[Pentasa]

Won't happen but we need Sterling's energy in the middle of the park next week

 

[Wordy_Rappinghood]

Lawrence was a man down in the OF last game.

Hard no to him.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Lawrence is done. Took his goal sensational well but let's not act like his performances the past wee while have been honking.

 

[cuecard1872]

Nah, not Lawrence for me next week. Their midfield with O'Riley and Hatate will be full of running and we'll need to match it. I don't think that's Lawrence's strength.

 

[Coza]

Absolutely not to Lawrence

Lunacy of the back of a great goal against an exhausted ten men.

Next week we need legs legs.

I’d go.

Butland
Tav souttar Davies ridvan

Lundstram diomande cantwell

Sterling dessers silva

I’d rather play a diff front three but based on who has had minutes etc that’s what I’m picking.

 

[Stevie13000]

It’s a no from me in regards to Lawrence.

 

[ChernoSamba]

I’ve no idea what people are seeing in Cantwell that is making them want to start him next week. He appears to be immune from criticism.

 

[swavgav]

If Cantwell isn't starting I'd put Sterling in there and play Diomande, Sterling and Lundstram

 

[Davieblue1977]

Ridvan yes

Heard this about Lawrence before the game at Ibrox and the game completely passed him by.

 

[EK1422]

Wouldn’t play either of them. Both are atrocious off the ball and we’ll be conceding the midfield battle if either feature.

I’d be putting Diomande further forward and putting Sterling in beside Lundstram.

 

[SIRBLUE]

Cantwell has little end product imo, Lawrence has been poor of late.
To have any chance next week, both of them (at different times of the match) are going to have to step up and find a way to hurt them.
Otherwise we'll be toast.

 

[Viper_RFC]

I would take Lawrence off the bench doing that next week no problem.

Ridvan is a must and has the gallous streak in him to give zero respect to them.

 

[Blu_ultra]

Ridvan makes a huge difference to us. I’ve thought for a while it would be worth trying Lawrence on the left. At least he can shoot and also play a creative pass

I don’t think Lawrence has the legs for that.

 

[Number 4]

Like it or not, Cantwell is our main creative threat.

 

[mck1872]

I’d play raskin.

 

[Dontwasteit!]

Ridvan yes.

Not a chance I’d start Lawrence though. His pedestrian style ambling about in midfield will see us destroyed.

 

[Viirus72]

Every second post after the 3-3 game was asking why he started

We need legs and athleticism against them,
Lawrence doesn’t give us that.
Hope he can but doubt Ridvan has 90 minutes in him.

 

[agentcooper]

I’d play raskin.

If he'd had more minutes this might not be the worst shout... pack the midfield to win it, with Diomande pushing forward a bit more at times.

Lawrence? No. He's been generally awful lately.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Ridvan 100%

Lawrence I just don't trust to do the running that we will need for large periods next week and the countering at pace. An option off the bench.

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

Ridvan yes

Lawrence doesn't have the legs for an old firm game. Hes far far too slow

 

[Crouchy]

Lawrence is a luxury player and would be a passenger there.

He doesn’t have the mobility to be effective there.

 

[BIL W]

I don't think I'd play Lawrence or Cantwell to be honest. I'd go a flat 3 in midfield and play Diomande, Lundstram and Raskin. Sterling can drop back and make a 4 when needs be.

 

[1914-18]

I'd have Cantwell on the right hand side next week and a midfield 3 of Lundstram Diomande and Sterling

 

[Cowan_rfc]

Wouldn’t play either of them. Both are atrocious off the ball and we’ll be conceding the midfield battle if either feature.

I’d be putting Diomande further forward and putting Sterling in beside Lundstram.

Sterling in the middle is a must for me. Dio wide like Aribo?

 

[prsoandnovo222]

only a week ago folk on here were saying how.bad he was,what a place haha

 

[BigBlueAngus]

Time and a place for Tom Lawrence. Starting against the likes of Celtic isn't it.

Today though, off the bench against a stretched and tired opponent? Ideal. Tore them open a fair few times and could've scored at least another goal.

 

[devilman]

Ridvan definitely. Not so sure about Lawrence, although I do think he's a much better player than he's given credit for.

 

[the_baron]

Lawrence legs are gone, all he has to offer us now is last 30 minutes of games.

He would have an absolute nightmare with the pace the first half of an old firm is played at.

 

[snoopyboymason]

Would definitely start Ridvan wouldn't start Lawrence

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

only a week ago folk on here were saying how.bad he was,what a place haha

that miss last week.

then there was him getting up off the floor like a bomb blast survivor after only being on the park 5 mins as St Mirren countered is NOT what is required next week.

 

[JC85]

Lawrence was anonymous at Ibrox against them, except the foul that cost us an equaliser when we were swarming all over them.

Ridvan - yes, all day long.

 

[DRAGO]

Lawrence doesn't have the legs to play there.

I am worried that Silva doesn't have the temperament to play there either. Can see him getting involved in stupid stuff and costing us.

Ridvan absolutely should play.
