"Nice" choice of referee, methinks the Scum got Clancy for the day. You can`t blame the SFA for making it difficult for them ...

 

This is another day that we need to take full advantage from, as we are well capable of beating Motherwell, while Hibs are capable to snatch a point or more off the Scum at home. Then again, I was expecting them to have a difficult game at Motherwell a wee while back and they won 4-0. Might well be that the last two OF games will decide which way the title goes, as there are not too many teams in Scotland that are able to take points off them. Be that with or without the help of compliant referees.

It’s going to be a stressful day with Robertson in charge. I always think he is incompetent until you review the big decisions and see that, if it is incompetence, he has again been really unlucky that all his wrong decisions fall the one way. Turns out he is just a cheat on top of incompetence.

 

The only way to take him out the game is to score 2 early goals. Here’s hoping.

Three points, and no injuries, please; and don't give the referee any "decisions to make".

 

If possible a few goals: score early, score often is generally a winning strategy.

That means it’s a back five of Allan McGregor in goal with captain James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, John Lundstram and Calvin Bassey in front of him.

Kamara is in the middle of the park next to Scott Arfield and Joe Aribo, while up front, Fashion Jr and Ryan Kent will play in support of Alfredo Morelos.

On the bench this afternoon for the Light Blues are Jon McLaughlin, Mateusz Zukowski, Leon Balogun, Barisic, James Sands, Alex Lowry, Amad, Scott Wright and Kemar Roofe.

... and Gio said that he sees Lundstram as a CH, even though his primary role would be in midfield.
