Guest Dutchy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yep, getting to that exciting shiting stage. I'd hope for a 2 goal lead to take to Sweden. 2-0 would be better than 3-1 as I wouldn't like them to get an away goal. Either way, a win tonight and we're on track again. Not that we were off it!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigy1881 79 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Lee Wallace starts tonight 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 LEE WALLACE will make his Rangers debut as he turns out in the Champions League five years after debuting in the competition for Hearts. The 23-year-old is one of two changes to Ally McCoist's lineup with captain Davie Weir also returning to the side after missing the weekend SPL kick off. Weir and Wallace replace Kirk Broadfoot and Juanma Ortiz in the starting lineup as McCoist looks to earn his first competitive win as Rangers boss. Former Hearts man Wallace will line up in a wide left role, which is mirrored on the opposite flank by Steven Whittaker. Weir slots in between Sasa Papac and Madjid Bougherra in central defence for his first appearance of the new season. Steven Davis moves in to the middle of midfield, alongside Lee McCulloch and Mo Edu, leaving Steven Naismith to partner Nikica Jelavic in attack. The match also marks the European debut of Jelavic for Rangers, who was ineligible in continental competition last season for the Light Blues. Rangers: McGregor; Bougherra, Weir, Papac; Whittaker, Davis, Edu, McCulloch, Wallace; Naismith, Jelavic. Subs: Alexander, Broadfoot, Healy, Fleck, Hemmings, Wylde, Ortiz. http://www.rangers.co.uk/articles/20110726/wallace-set-for-debut_2254024_2402348 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 BBC Radio saying we're going with a back 5. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 So with 5 defenders at the back, it looks like the formation will be using Walter's idea of trying not to lose goals by playing loads of defenders plus a holding midfielder or two for good measure. I guess with the flexibility of Naismith and Whittaker it'll float between different formations depending on the flow of play, but what the article above from the official site suggests is essentially a 5-3-2 like this - :sw::mb::sp: :sd::lm::me: :sn::nj: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Five at the back per se but obviously we have two very attacking full backs which is good.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 BBC Radio saying we're going with a back 5. I heard that also, but they reckoned that if Malmo were to only play one up front, Wallace has a good chance of moving forward. Not to mention Bougherra's wanderings up field. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 At least it's not 6 defenders plus a defensive midfielder on the park like Walter tried to do... Almost right enough! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
