Frankie 8,570 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Kiernan is injured - we could see him struggling on Saturday when he stretched to block a cross ball. Miller played 90mins the other day so it makes sense to 'rest' him tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Kiernan is injured - we could see him struggling on Saturday when he stretched to block a cross ball. He also aggravated it several times trying to 'fire fight' as the last man. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 This is on one hand worrying but on another exciting and promising. Agree with Rousseau sentiments that bring younger players in when filling positions rather than players out of position - something we have slaughtered managers on in the past. Lets give these guys a chance. 3rd place is probably done and dusted so its good to experiment against poorer opposition. And no point risking further injuries for Sunday - which is a massive game and a statement has to be made at Pittodrie that we are better than them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has announced his first eleven more than 24 hours in advance of his side’s trip to Rugby Park to face Kilmarnock. Keep up to date with all our sport news on The Scotsman’s Sport page on Facebook The manager has made five changes to the first eleven that drew 1-1 with Motherwell, with Lee Hodson missing out due to illness and Lee Wallace due to undergo stomach surgery. There are starts for youngsters David Bates and Miles Beerman and returns to the eleven for James Tavernier, Andy Halliday and Martyn Waghorn. The changes represent a continued willingness for Caixinha to make changes, following three substitutions at half-time on Saturday. Caixinha told the press conference that Rob Kiernan might have been fit to play but felt it best to rest the defender for Sunday’s clash against Aberdeen. He said: “It is very important to have players with character. This is a massive club, a huge club and not every player is a Rangers player. “I expect Clint and Rob to be ready for Sunday’s match. I could have used Rob but he wasn’t 100 per cent and I want 100 per cent players playing.” Read more at: http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/pedro-caixinha-announces-rangers-team-a-day-early-1-4411577 Surely we qualified for an emergency loan or do you need to have a man on the board for that. just kidding I am happy the youngsters are getting a chance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Not sure why stating that he is slow and we will have to hold a deep line is not giving him a chance? I hope that Pedro's training has changed him into a Usain Bolt, but somehow I doubt that! Bates is a decent technical player, strong and good in the air but has not really shot the lights out at U20 level. Happy for Beerman, probably our first academy graduate to play in the first team since Warburton took over. He won't be the first player that were not great with the reserves but stepped up their game when playing with better players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Looking forward to the young guys playing, especially Beerman as he seems to be highly rated, good luck to them 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Beerman is an ex.-ManCity youngster and AFAIk has played for Malta u17s to u21s, was in their international selction too, methinks. He should be okay with Wilson next to him. Of Bates you hear wildly differing reports, but I do expect both Warburton and Caixinha know a player when they see him. Elfideldo sees him most, but usually is rather sparse with evaluations. Edited April 4, 2017 by der Berliner 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Horrendous injury situation at the back, bringing in these youngsters is the only option so good luck to them, they will need it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
