I can't raise the willpower to drive 350 miles round trip to watch another frustrating afternoon of passing across the back line against a ten man defence. Even if we score 6 it will only reinforce the absurdity of last Sunday. Seats handed over to a more forgiving offspring.

Thing is, we needed to win the match at New Year v's them, we failed! we needed to win last week v's them, we failed!. Depressing to say the least!.

Kilmarnock is second from bottom, we are at Ibrox, so no need for any defensive 4-3-3, two DMs and but one striker. Play a proper attacking 3-4-3 with Jack or Raskin dropping deep in times of need, while Cantwell and Tillman track back (something they do anyway). Raskin and Tillman the driving forces in midfield.

 

McGregor

 

Goldson - Davies - Barisic

 

Jack

 

Cantwell - Raskin - Tillman

 

Sakala - Colak - Morelos

 

We can introduce our "veterans" once we are out of sight.

Very happy with that team, let's see what Colak can do in a Beale team. We need to see if he can lead the line next season.

[Bill 13,717]

Should have started with Hagi and Sakala being his replacement. At least he's finally gone with Colak in preference to Morelos.

Better selection by Beale. Hope Colak can now get a run of games and rediscover early season form. Morelos will be spitting the dummy no doubt.

Why, no matter how bad he plays, is Tavernier undroppable to every manager we have had in recent years ? 🤔

I'll never understand why

Does today's team selection indicate that Lundstram and Tillman were not fully fit last week? One on the bench, one not in the squad. 

 

Roads very quiet on way through to Ibrox, quiet in and around the stadium but ground filling up a bit now. 

 

Let's hope for a decent performance and a win.
