I wouldnt be playing any of the players leaving. Rangers is bigger than any player. Let them come out at HT or FT (as is suggested above) but MB must use this game to continue to assess who he wants and doesnt want for next season, who works in what positions etc. It matters not a jot about winning this particular game unfortunately, but momentum is important and you always want to finish the season on a good unbeaten run.

We finished last season well (except penalties ELF).... didn't do us much good this season. 

Truth was we were set-up to fail. At least this time there will be a major freshening up of the squad.

 

Next season is all about recruitment and hitting the preverbial ground running.

 

Recruitment can be very good but it would still be difficult to start well and churn out the wins.

Getting new players in early and starting the new season (pre-season) with the squad virtually intact is probably important in achieving a decent start.

It's a big ask but not impossible given a favourable draw in Europe and the level of the Scottish Diddy teams (who now can't even get past Irish and Welsh League teams in the qualifying rounds).

 

First OF being at Ibrox is good news.

 

The other side of the city got their recruitment spot-on when their manager arrived but stuttered badly until September. They got away with it because we were poor, they won't be as generous.

Sentimental rotation!

 

If I could be bothered, I would be angry.

I quite like that team - other than McCrorie not playing, but I can understand giving McGregor a home send-off.
