Young Macloed on the bench for brentford tonight. I hope he gets a some game time tonight. He deserves a break from injuries

Good luck to the wee man. If it wasnt for a great consistent debut season for mcgregor I would chose Macleod for rangers player of the year

L3mst3r Wouldn't it be better if we played the kilmarnock team that motherwell beat 3-1?

09 May 2015 16:52:22
Based on that result yes, but on all of the results no. McCall knows that team inside out and that could be a factor in the players minds

jyf correct got a better chance of beating killie as motherwell look like they might survive

Let's talk lineups (no not that kind)

Tomorrow vs QoS

Who do you want to see start and what tactics/formation should we use?

08 May 2015 13:16:32
Bell
foster
McGregor
zaliukas
Wallace
Murdoch
law
Vuckic
clark
hardie/gallacher/McKay/shiels
Daly

same setup just done correctly, clark for his pace to run on after daly wins the header, shiels as he has pulled a bit of form together. Vuckic as well it is vuckic lol. Murdoch has been great, Law as he is pulling form together under McCall. and that defense as it is the most solid we have.

Is your set up a 433?

It's a really hard call but I would go for a 352 with 2 wing backs and a deeper defensive line as they are quick and good on the break. The 3 defenders and 2 wing backs would provide protection as well as the midfield making us hard to breakdown.

With bell, foster, mcgregor, zaliukas, moshni, Wallace midfield would be Murdoch, law and vuckic with Miller partnering Boyd/hardie

I wanted to play vuckic upfront because he is mostly ineffective in midfield until he scores but in the box his linkup and finishing is the best we have. He would be a good parter for Miller or Boyd both of whom have really good link up play and Miller tends to score on the big games Boyd knows where the back of the net is but needs to be in the right frame of mind hence my ropey choice.

Hardie basically is Clark but with goals. Will run around all day but does have the finish in him we will create chances just need the players to finish!

If we aren't winning I would bring on temps/ McKay and tell them to run at the defence.

Osa)that looks about as solid a side as we could possibly field,if the defence can concentrate for 90mins + we should do ok, I can't wait for tomorrow just booked my flight from Southampton and I've got my golden ticket for the for the game albeit not amongst our own and got tickets the return my grandson is buzzing at the thought of it. Mon the Gers.

in the lie ups above daly and boyd can't be considered because they are no fit and boyd had to be forced into playing for durants team although he scored his backside is as big as mine foster could not cope with the pace of the q o s wide men

08 May 2015 14:42:28
4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 I reckon the 4-3-3 would give me protection with 3 in midfield, however a 4-2-3-1 done right could give us defensive cover. If need be i'd sacrifice Daly for Mohnsi at the back to go to a 3-5-2 that would completely stop QOTS and their counter attacking tactics.

08 May 2015 17:57:02
Hey big wull the only thing fosters got is plenty of pace to burn he's probably one of our quickest players so hel handle there pacey wide men its his decision making and defensive frailtys i'm more worried about

08 May 2015 18:30:09
Bell, Foster, McGregor, Zaliukas, Moshni, Wallace, McCulloch, Law, Murdoch, Shiels and Miller
I'd play a 3-5-2 with the fullbacks supporting the midfield and McCulloch sitting in front of the back three. I'd have Miller as lone striker supported by Law, Murdoch and Shiels, with Vuckic, Clark and Hardie on the bench maybe to appear later as 'impact players.'
We need to keep things tight and make sure we are not chasing the game. Shut down the midfield and stifle their play. Typical Walter tactics.
Depending on the result I would probably switch to a 4-4-2 for the return leg and bring in Vuckic and Hardie in front of a packed Ibrox
Good luck guys!
