Brown doesn't start for them. Bitton in for Julien. Ajer at RB I presume? Over to you Ryan Kent...

Big call on Morelos today. Please do not let our club down today.

Hagi drops out. Kent starts. Balogun replaces Helander

I need team news!!!

Agree 100%. Our jersey today is spot on to

There's talk on another forum...ahem...that Bitton is in. Does that mean Bitton and Duffy in the middle with Ajer at RB? If so, Kent is a stick on?

Well done Rangers. Very respectful tributes on all social media platforms today.

Promised the missus (and myself) a dry January after quite a rather libatious festive period. Might have to reset the timeline on that...

Lighten up

With regards to Itten getting lost, I have to disagree. No fans makes this just like all the other games with no fans IMO. There won't be that intensity from the first whistle with fans demanding every lunge and tackle to be 200%. Itten is a smart footballer and I dont think he would let us down if played. I just worry about Alfie letting us down. I can't get it out of my head. He's progressed in this dept. but his idiotic lunge at Tannidice suggests to me that a leopard can never change their spots.

Under 4 hours to go. My coffee cup is already shaking due to nerves/excitement. Making sure my chores are all done as my missus always decides to find me something random to do a minute before kick off. ie. Can you go into the loft and find a box that I've not looked at for 5 years!!

If Duffy plays it throws up a few questions regarding Alfie IMO. Duffy is a carthorse but he likes to be physical and this can be where they can exploit Alfies temperament. He stupidly let himself get involved with Duffy in the last game and could easily have been hooked at HT. We need to exploit Duffy's obvious weaknesses (slow and ponderous) with guile and speed not pure physicality. Could Stevie G throw a curve ball and start with Itten? A physical presence but a more level headed temperament?

And you haven't got near the ball in the last 3 OF games. Go figure Calum

Been like that for the last few days tbh. I hate the time between Xmas and New Year. Feel like I'm tredding water

Already waiting patiently with my Josh Windass life size cardboard cut out and celebratory pyjamas on.

My favourite story/quote of his comes from his time at Rotheram when they were in Division 2. "I promised I would take Rotherham out of the Second Division - and I took them into the Third. The old chairman said, 'Doc, you're a man of your word!"'

Agreed. I never really see their games unless it's an OF game but I did catch the cup final. He was utterly embarrassing

Maybe in Europe but not in the league

I was actually thinking about this earlier. Would Steven Gerrard play deeper and to coax them out, allowing more space for the likes of Roofs, Kent, Aribo, Hagi and Morelos? Its risky

If people are talking like that, you have to wonder if they have ever seen these games before. Celtic could be on a losing streak of 150 matches and I would still fear them getting a result at Ibrox. I hate these games tbh

Definitely out according to Stevie G before the St Mirren game

Agreed. I think Davis and Macgregor can also have a big influence as past title winners

I have to agree Buster. Not feeling confident about this game at all. Too many factors for me. Jack and Arfield missing out is huge. As much as we have been winning, we seem to have lost our playing identity somewhat and are not as fluid as we have been. And they seem to gaining momentum. Saying that, United still created a few chances against their ropey backline. Definitely watching this one from behind the couch...

How does that make him a bigot? Was he not simply sticking up for his team?
