Match Thread Spartak Moskva v Rangers - 17:55 Thursday - BT Sports

[sheddensbear]

Difficult match. They'll be patient, hoping to steal a goal at any time, but we've been fairly solid in Europe, so here's hoping.
Just do it.

 

[RodneyUPlonker]

Destroy them Brita nia

 

[Recoba]

Think it was changed to hybrid for the World Cup.

I think they changed it back again, on today's training video it deffo looks plastic.

[1872]

Good to see Katic back in and Middleton start

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Decent 11.

 

[EndOfDays]

But I thought Worralls loan deal said he had to play all euro games, couldnt have all been a lot of shite could it?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Good team

 

[Mark Walters]

Surprising but welcome news that Katic is starting, hopefully puts to bed the rumours he isn't happy or that we're bound contractually to play Worral in Europe

 

[Gogso]

Wonder if the BT team will mention the Rangers collum statement?

 

[Davieblue1977]

Cmon the bears

 

[Recoba]

Delighted to see Katic back, i hope he puts in a monster performance and reclaims his jersey moving forward.

 

[Barba Roja]

Would take anything other than a loss...

Big performance required from Coulibaly tonight!!

 

[strider]

I think they changed it back again, on today's training video it deffo looks plastic.

Surprised you think that looks like a plastic pitch, looks clearly like grass to me.

 

[cgc]

Not dissatisfied with that team. Good to see Middleton get a start.

 

[Leith Ger]

Happy enough with that team.

 

[Axelrod]

Probably the best side he could have picked from what’s available .

Let’s hope we can get back to teamwork like Maribor levels . Keep it tight . 0-0 perfect .

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

Good lineup. Maybe would of swapped Coulibaly for Jack, but other than that happy. With Spartak needed to go for a win. Middleton should be able to run at their right back and cause problems.

 

[Its-Sebo]

Excited for Middleton! Grab it with both hands wee man

 

[Teddyjohn]

Other than Jack for Coulibaly, I’m very happy with that team.

Really desperate for Katic to do well tonight. Felt sorry for him at Hamilton.

 

[randomhero]

More attacking than i thought, would rather have seen Halliday at left back than Flanagan. Come on the teddy bears!

 

[DartfordRSC]

Expected Jack to start ahead of Coullibaly. Do we need 2 centre halves on the bench?

 

[devilman]

They've tweeted it before every European tie this season.

Have they? That's good then.

 

[Recoba]

Surprised you think that looks like a plastic pitch, looks clearly like grass to me.

I could be wrong, obvs its not like a plastic pitch here it just looked too perfect to be grass

 

[aghalee_hero]

2 injuries and we are threadbare upfront. January can't come quick enough.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Only surprising thing is Jack on the bench but otherwise happy with that. Middleton and Grezda will be on the wings Sunday unless there's a change of formation so they'll both get a proper chance these next two games

 

[BucksBear]

Foderingham
McAuley
Worrall
McCrorie
Halliday
Jack
Grezda

what is the point of 2 center half and Ross McCrorie on the bench. i know were are down to the bare limits but surely a young lad would have been better

 

[Braeside58]

Decent starting 11.
I would take a draw right now.

 

[Ambiorix]

A couple of surprise starts there, but I'm happy with the team.

 

[Orangeandpurple]

Katic back in ? Finally !!

Let's go

Yes take your chance son, keep the donkey out please!

 

[BroxburnBear]

Ze Luis on the bench for them.

 

[IronWarrior]

A draw would be an ok result but if we keep it tight and solid i think we can win it. Come on the Gers.

 

[Gerrard55]

I like that team

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

Jack out is surprising but keeping him fresh for Motherwell maybe? Hopefully Coulibally can make strides back to where he was before injury. He hasn't looked the same since.

 

[Godrup99]

2 injuries and we are threadbare upfront. January can't come quick enough.

Was thinking the same but i suppose it is a work in progress. We are light up top though.

 

[amabluestar]

Come on the Rangers.

 

[SDF]

Ze Luis on the bench for them.

Their captain is on the bench too.

Was easily their best player at Ibrox.

 

[Sam English]

Good to see Katic return and a perfect opportunity for Middleton to prove himself this evening.

 

[JayDee]

Looks a very tough game. A draw would be a good result for us.
