Sorry guys no actual preview but I thought it would be easier to chat about this game on a new thread as opposed to the tail end of the St Mirren thread. Mods please feel free to merge and rename when it comes

My team would be as follows:

-------Macgregor------

---Goldson--Balogun---

Tav---------------Borna

----Davis----Kamara---

-----------Hagi---------

Aribo---------------Kent

----------Roofe---------

[stewarty 2,025]

That’s a very offensive looking team.  Swap Hagi or Kent for Aribo and I think it’s spot on.

Helander for me and Aribo playing in the midfield 3 and Hagi in the forward 3. 
 

I do feel a wee bit worried without Ryan Jack or even Arfield in the midfield 3 for this game as they probably provide us with more than Aribo defensively.

I prefer Hagi with more of the game in front of him as opoosed to him playing wide or with back to goal. I also like the idea of Aribo occupying their left side with his ball carrying. The weakest part of their team is their defence and we need to exploit that with guile

I think Arlibo is more effective in a wider position than Hagi (see last season's win at the piggery). I like Hagi with space in front of him to utilise his shooting and passing

True, and it happened during an unexpected victory at Ibrox.

Confidence is through the roof among many Rangers supporters.

 

I think this will be a very close match.

 

Am I too pessimistic?
