Is Barasic injured?

Toothache, apparently.

Hope that's not code for "we don't want him injured as he is lined up for a big money transfer..."

I confidently predict Halliday won’t let anyone down

Edmundson is a monster and seems to get bigger each time I see him.  Patterson has started really well so I can see why so many of you wanted him to start.  If he can continue like this I wonder who our second choice right back will be.  If it's not Flanagan he might as well go.

 

Jones has also started brightly and just needs a goal or an assist to settle him down.  He looks too eager to impress and that's causing him to make the wrong decisions, but it's great to see him back again.  He can still be a really good player for us.

 

What I do notice about this game already is that Defoe and Aribo are linking well.  They are two very intelligent players.

Pretty much what we expected lack of goals aside. Good old BBC and their stats.

Possession: Rangers 32% - Stranraer 68% ?

[compo 7,052]

Mmmm we need a goal here 

[PoohBear 1,148]

That's a horrendous tackle, how is it just a yellow?

[JFK-1 1,693]

Glad to get a goal before halftime. Stranraer will tire in the final stages when we may see an avalanche.

Got a goal from a corner that should have been a goal kick.  Tim’s will be raging ?
