Will be interesting to see how the manager balances tomorrow's team with Thursday's game in mind. More minutes for Hagi and Danilo seem obvious given they're unavailable for Spurs. I'd also be keen to retain the same 4-1-4-1 system as the other night though it wouldn't surprise me to see Bajrami come in for Igamane or Hagi.

A chance to rest Jefte and Balogun with both more likely to start against Spurs?

Players have an extra incentive to play well a place against Spurs midweek and a cup final three day’s later if that doesn’t gee them up nothing will .

Weirdly, given our result in Nice, Thursday is a "free hit" for us and I'd say its the least important game of the three. 

 

Three points are vital in Dingwall and we really need to start beating Celtic and what better way than in a Hampden cup final. 

 

The big question regarding the game on Sunday is which version of Rangers turns up!! Never easy to predict. 

[compo 7,184]

The danger is some players will go out at the county match with the mindset of not getting injured so they don’t miss the next two games

Absolutely but I definitely dont want to lose another home Euro game, and would love to put one over on that horrible arrogant pig, maybe even cement his sacking! 

I agree midweek Rangers is a much better team than weekend Rangers, but I will take another grind out 1-0 win with an OG on Sunday with no injuries just to keep things ticking over and build the momentum.

Propper the only qualm but if needs must.
