Rangers fans praying what’s going to be next a few Hail Marys  😂

Taken that too far -

 

Psalms 95:6-7

O come, let us worship and bow down: Let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

Are we really though? What are you basing this on? Wins against Kilmarnock and Ross County?

 

I think the difference is that the manager changed his formation. 

 

Will he be brave enough to stick with this formation against Celtic? 

 

Only time will tell. 

The manager changed his formation and tactics, which meant dropping Dessers and playing 4 players that can interchange with each other. If you want him to keep the formation then it means dropping Dessers as he isn't as mobile so the formation won't work. You can't have it both ways. 😁

I would argue the formation and tactics haven't changed all that much; it's the personnel that has changed, making what we were trying to do more effective.

I did say I don't expect Dessers to start. 

 

However, I don't think the manager will stick to the new formation against Celtic.

He has changed formation and tactics as well as personnel. 

 

It's worked thus far (DUFC aside) and will be interesting to see how he sets us up on Sunday. 

 

[CammyF 8,370]

For clarity I haven't said Dessers or Tav should or will play on Sunday. I said the manager has a conundrum in what could be a game that decides his Rangers managerial career. 

 

What I argued is in a game where, in all probability, we'll need to score 2 or more goals to win the game, can / will he go into the game without our top goalscorer (who's scored more goals than each of Celtics front three so far this season) and the player, who over almost a decade has been our main attacking threat (and scored the winning goal in last years final).

 

Obviously including these players has conitations on how we would line-up and approach the game. However, same can be said if we start the game without them in the starting 11 (especially the right back position as Sterling has hardly shown he has what it takes to make the position his).

 

We have played less defensively over the last 3 or 4 weeks with the front 4 players interchanging and its worked to a certain degree (we still miss too many chances and only play for 45mins). 

 

Some huge decisions for PC both for Thursday given the European squad and on Sunday which for us all is a must win game.

No, buster thinks we have a realistic chance of winning, I think we have a chance but it's unlikely.

 

What a load of tosh.

If there is a chance, by definition, it has to be realistic.

 

I have never stated that we are favourites but we definitely have a chance to win a cup-tie against Celtic because we have started to create and score goals.  

 

 

You are free to more or less write off our chances, its only an opinion. 

 

You asked who would I bet on.

Looking at the odds, Rangers is where the value is.

It's not tosh, you're now changing your words and approach to what "realistic" means in sporting terms. 

 

We do have a chance of winning I've been clear in that all through this thread, yet you decided to imply I'm a surrender monkey, yet you're  not for having basically the same opinion 😀

 

The value is certainly with Rangers given we're a shorter price to beat Spurs than we are Celtic. 

 

I'll rephrase the question, where will the smart money go? 

 

Nice of you to ignore the rest of my questions which would show that our chances on Sunday as "slim and limited", but there nonetheless.
