I agree mate but Borna can't defend for toffee at the best of times, if we're susceptible to overloads down our flanks he's going to be murder to watch.

 

Geniunely, apart from the 2 or 3 great deliveries out of 15 that he swings in a game he's an average full back.

 

We can probably get by with these two but it's taking a gamble, especially if the manager won't give Yilmaz a concerted run in the team to actually see if he can make it, rather than in friendlies and dead rubbers (where he did well enough).

In my humble opinion, Borna is lesser of two evils.

We've done the Barisic experiment. It didn't work, so now we're trying the Yilmaz experiment - if that ultimately fails, we need another option. There's no point going from one unsatisfactory solution back to another unsatisfactory solution. But I don't think we've reached any conclusion with Yilmaz yet.

Hard to play him for an extended period (to get a conclusion) if he is unavailable for selection for whatever reason. Barasic is available so he gets the jersey.

Killie will be hard to beat don’t forget they’ve been playing competitive football for a few weeks now and will be up for it on their plastic pitch it’s could be close maybe just the one goal in it .

Kilmarnock are a dreadful team but their even more dreadful pitch will always give them a puncher's chance.

A plastic pitch is not an excuse when there is such a difference in the quality of the players the clubs can put on the field. Rangers’ previous travails at Rugby Park had more to do with their inability to cope with Dicker and Power than with the surface of the pitch. It’s not as though Kilmarnock win all their home games

I'll be watching the match in a bar in the South of France, if the local rugby bummers allow it.  Fingers crossed...

I thought Killie pies were good to eat so suppose the team must be full of grissle.

3 points and up the road with no injuries from that farcical surface is all we want from this game
