Rangers only managed six points from their four league matches against Alloa last season, with only records against Hearts, Hibernian and Queen of the South providing fewer points over the season. Of Rangers’ five league goals against Alloa last season, only one, scored by Nicky Law in the 1-0 win at Recreation Park in January, came in the first half. Contrastingly, four of the five strikes at the same venue earlier this season came before the interval. Jimmy Simpson (1947/48) is the only player to have managed Alloa since the war having previously played for Rangers. Alex Totten (1980/82) was in also charge of Alloa before a spell as an assistant to Jock Wallace at Ibrox (1983/86). Alloa are known as the Wasps due to the yellow and black colours that they first wore over 100 years ago. A new club badge was launched in 2010 with a modern-looking comic insect. Alloa were formed in 1878 and were originally known as Clackmannan County. That moniker lasted for one season and they then became the Alloa Association Football Club before they became Alloa Athletic in 1883. Archie McPherson was the manager of Alloa for 10 years from 1959. No, not that one, but a former defender who played at Rangers, Liverpool, Sheffield United and Falkirk and who went by the nickname ‘Curly’ http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/focus-alloa-v-gers/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,974 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Will be interesting to see how we cope with the new pitch dimensions. Have had a few days to work accordingly, at least we should have prepared accordingly. Three points are more important than the Cup replay IMO so all attention on Alloa. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked the right game to remain goalless last week as we didn't frop any points, this week we could do with them going in off the post, rather than to safety. This week we have the added options of O'Hallaron and King which I think will serve us well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I think today would be the perfect time to give waggy a rest. If we are going to play him out wide continually then with the pitch being so tight and waggy looking jaded recently, i personally would leave him on the bench as we have cup game on Tuesday which O'Halloran and King are cup tied anyway. Give King a run out wide today and give waggy a rest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
