Well we don't have much choice, except to hope

The new number 9 will be punted out wide imo. Velicka and Miller will probably more likely play together if Velicka gets fit in time. If no signings are made before pre-season friendlies start than thats the line up I can see being utilised.

 

Mcgregor

Whittaker-Weir-Webster-Papac

Davis-Thomson-McCulloch-Lafferty

Miller-Velicka

 

Obviously I am resting the world cup players of Edu and Bougherra but that is what I can see us using in the first pre-season friendly, maybe a youngster or 2 in place of the regulars.

To be honest i don't think Velicka will get in the 1st team on a regular basis. I won't be surprised if he is sold or put out on loan to free up his wage.

I personally think we don't have much choice until a striker come in.

I said something similar @ the beginning of last season:), maybe Boyd leaving will be the catalyst to Lafferty finally arriving @ Rangers FC:)

 

I think it will. He's shown plenty of sign of being able to score and create as a striker, and the only time he struggled in that position was January February when Boyd's injury gave him a baited chance. Because no matter how well he was going to do, Boyd would get his place back. But when towards the end of the season he started being used on his own merits, he started scoring and looking good.

 

Now with Boyd almost gone, he has far less pressure and more chance to impress.
