Rossiter and Jack in midfield with McCrorie a good outlook IMO.

I think a lot of the answers are already in our squad. Rossiter, Jack and McCrorie all possess some of the defensive qualities our midfield has severely lacked this season. It's make or break for Rossiter next season but I think we're all desperate for it to come together for him, 3rd time (season) lucky!

I wasn't impressed with the decision to replace Rossiter with Hodson though.

 

Fair enough bring Hodson on (who actually did OK defensively) but I was surprised he moved Halliday into midfield instead of bringing on Docherty from some fresh legs and strength.

Aye a strange change I believe you should never take off a player who is playing well and in Rossiters case he was playing very well .

Looks like we can add Scott Arfield to that midfield.

Rossiter was limping before being replaced,right enough he was lucky not to have gotten something more serious after the tackle by Allan.

He was clearly injured, as he lay on the ground and gestured he had a problem.

BTW, Russian Rangers have a 30 mins highlights clip of the game, just scroll down. It's from RTV, so the listening might be more pleasing to the ear ...

The big question though is why were we wearing red socks? That's us a goal down before we even start as everyone knows.

Looked like lower back pain, which is where is problems have been recently.  I would assume his substitution was more of a precaution than anything else - don't want to take the change of him aggravating that previous injury.

Agree Frankie, when i seen Rossiter struggling i was thinking Docherty  would have been the obvious swap although i thought Hodson did ok when he came on.

No, we had to take off the injured Rossiter but I just felt Halliday should have stayed at left back with Docherty being a straight swap for Rossiter.
