GIRUY @ian1964 - I got in first!

Possible XI: McGregor Tavernier - Goldson - Worrall - Halliday Jack - Kamara Candeias - Davis - Arfield Defoe

Steven Gerrard will be absent from the dugout when Rangers travel to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, live on Sky Sports. Gerrard has accepted a one-match touchline ban after he was charged for comments he made to referee Bobby Madden in the aftermath of Rangers' defeat to Celtic last weekend. Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos are also suspended following incidents during the Celtic Park showdown. Rangers are 13 points behind leaders Celtic, who could secure an eighth consecutive title if they beat Livingston on Saturday and Rangers lose on Sunday. With one game remaining until the league split, Motherwell are eighth in the table, six points behind sixth-placed Hibernian. They were beaten 3-1 at Aberdeen in midweek but have won their last five games at Fir Park. Goalkeeper Mark Gillespie faces a late fitness test while Carl McHugh is a doubt due to a neck injury. https://www.skysports.com/football/motherwell-vs-rangers/391335

Tannochsidebear. Stats.

Flanagan, though!

I'm unsure what formation that could be. Maybe just the normal 4-3-3 with Arfield playing wide right? Or, maybe a 4-diamond-2 with Kent playing up front beside Defoe?

Useless, I think. He gave Mourinho a new contract just as he hit the notorious third year.

Everyone underestimates squad depth. I want to see a deep squad full of the best talent in the league. Of course, we need quality too. Bachmann has been a solid 'keeper. It might mean Wes is on his way.

Maybe. I don't think SG wanting the player or not will make a difference. Financially, he's out of our reach, I think -- at least permanently.

And an ability to occupy the right spaces and chip in with a few goals.

I think Liverpool indicated they don't want him to go on loan again; they want a permanent move. They value him at £7M. Even if we could afford that, I don't think he's worth it.

Only in terms of squad depth, which has been a concern this season. In terms of first-team quality, probably not too much. The added benefit is it weakens the teams around us; I'm all for that. Kent's out of our reach, financially; I'm not too bothered if we get him or not, to be honest.

Good post. It's nice to read about the positives--of which there are a few. Worral is starting to remind me of Cardoso 1-on-1.

Sickening result. However, it proves that--despite how crap some individuals are at times-- we can batter this team when we're at our best.

HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN?!?!

We've given them two goals. Unbelievable.

Oh--we've scored.

I actually thought all South American's went down easily. Luis Suarez and Diego Costa can be a dirty buggers, but the least wee touch and they're throwing themselves to the ground like they've been shot. Morelos needs to learn that.

When Morelos feels anything like that he needs to go down. Brown's thrown himself to the ground, giving the ref an easy decision.

It's going to be a cricket score.

Probably a red, to be fair. Played right into Brown's hands. Brown knows what he's doing with the little dig.

Morelos sent off? Why?
