pete 2,499 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 buster. 2,478 #7 Posted 6 hours ago The Scottish Premiership Ibrox Stadium Rangers FC vs Hibernian FC Referee – Bobby MaddenAssistants – Sean Carr and Graeme LeslieFourth Official – Alan NewlandsMissing: Jamie Murphy (Knee), Graham Dorrans (Knee), Gareth McAuley (hamstring, out for the season) Doubtful: Ryan Jack (throat infection) Live on Sky Sports Football and Rangers TV Penultimate home game of the season brings Hibs to Ibrox in one of two significant Home challenges left to play prior to holidays. They will arrive for the first time at Ibrox with Paul Heckingbottom in charge. First thing to say is, that is some surname and the mind drifts to yesterday afternoon walking along the beach with some ecking views to behold. In fact, trying to squeeze in a bit of equality on the back or bottom of Hecking for a second, you wonder if Hibs will be back in for Kris Commons soon.

The guy they have on loan from Genoa, Omeonga also has his moments....At the other end they are physical and will take their pound of flesh if the referee lets them. The question is do Hibs set-up defensively and play the counter-attack ? Probably, and on paper, their counter attack offers a fair bit more than a depleted Aberdeen last week. So this for me, will probably be the biggest test for our new shape and way of playing to date. I'm presuming we'll stay with the same shape and personnel (Jack's throat permitting). Having Morelos on the bench will be good insurance and an excellent option in the second half. Here are our results during the same time period as the O Heck era at Easter Road. It's like a high pressure area sticks around for a while, followed by a series of weather fronts from the Atlantic, followed by another spell of high pressure...We'll need to do something about so much change to the climate and become consistent and now is a good time to edge closer towards that, by registering a 5th successive league win for the first time since 2011.

buster. 5,199 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Strange Stat In the 7 games against Hibs in the top flight since both were promoted from the Championship, there has never been a home win. Time for that to change ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,745 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Little recap ... 3 games left and the Scum essentially need a point? If anything, either they shall celebrate with the Sheep at their midden and have nice long trouble ladden jhourney back home. Or in their last game. Would hate it if the Sheep manage the unthinkable and then we need to win next week to stop them revel at Ibrox. Would actually not be surprised if tomorrow's result would set up exactly that. Remember how convinient the post-split fixtures were arrayed last season and all results went exactly how the Scum wanted them ... Anyway ... have I already grumbled about the late Sunday KO`s last and this week? For the whole season, Saturday and Sunday games get shifted to 12.15/30 or 13.00 hour KO, yet now it is 15.30 or the like.

I'd prefer to take that challenge head on and look to set-up the final day for what could be termed the truly wonderful unthinkable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I don’t see them setting up much differently than the sheep did though they may be better at carrying it through. They’re going to be chasing that 4th place finish which I think gets a Euro spot if the yahoos win the cup. Avoiding defeat at all cost is in their interest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
