Could be controversial but does anybody else feel like we looked stronger at the back when Flanagan was playing?

I know he is generally poor going forward compared to Barisic but the guy is a hard tackler and doesn't give up easily.

Not sure about Thursday night but I think Flanagan would be suited to Hearts style of play. Hard one though when you have somebody that can deliver a ball like Barisic.

Like i said, Barisic is easily the better football player, but sometimes you need that gritty type player and I think Flanagan should play against Hearts.

Either way I feel like we must win on Sunday, i'd rather lose on Thursday and win on Sunday, we cannot concede first against Hearts. Pressure is on!

I’d like to see Flanagan at RB in the back 4 with Katic Goldson and Barasic, not necessarily Thursday but some time soon to see how solid we look.

If Flanagan plays it needs to be RB.
Can't see SG dropping Tav,
Would Flanagan be an option as a Defensive midfielder?

I think with Flanagan at the back we would be more solid defensively and possibly push Tav up one.

I've seen every game and Flanagan has performed better at LB rather than RB so far, just my observation, not saying that would be a long term outcome but just so far IMO. On another note, Coulaby has been poor last 3 games. I think all players form has gone up and down, when all 11 are firing on all cylinders we see the results.

Unfortunately all 11 on Sunday forgot they were playing for Rangers and had their minds on the x factor and a Sunday night just eat, like most youngsters these days. Its also possible they did not respect the opposition enough and couldn't raise their game when they realised Livy were up for it. They are a new "young" team and will have consistency issues, I hope this improves as they gain experience and game time over the season as a squad. Its not fitness or ability this season just mental preparation.
