Rousseau 9,409 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Tavernier is indeed playing in the right-wing position. It could utilise his attacking threat while also having that defensive stability on the right flank with Hodson behind. Gilks retains his place. There are arguably 4 strikers on the bench! RANGERS: Gilks, Hodson, Kiernan, Hill, Wallace, Halliday, Holt, Windass, Tavernier, Miller, McKay. Substitutes: Foderingham, Senderos, Crooks, Dodoo, Waghorn, Garner, O’Halloran http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/semi-final-team-news/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Looks like the gaffer does have a plan B after all. I think it's a good move. Though I'd have had Wes in for Gilks 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Cole 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Kiernan. Ugh. Could be a long afternoon chaps. Pity about Wilson as he had been improving. Otherwise reasonably happy with that starting line-up, particularly Holt, Windass, Miller, and Tavernier relieved of defensive duties. Good to see Dodoo and Garner on the bench, could be a role for both. Funnily enough I found myself in agreement with Scott Brown yesterday. This should be a different game to last month. We're underdogs but if we're smart and if we're up for it, we can do this. Odds of 5/1 the Rangers win are laughable. 3/1 maybe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj_1872 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Good defensive move in my opinion. More like a 4-5-1 than the usual set up. Gilks Hodson, hill, Kiernan, Wallace Tavernier, Holt, halliday, Windass, mckay Miller Halliday sitting deeper 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,263 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) While people will go on about a 4-3-3 here, I do think it will be more of a 5-4-1, with Tav and Hodson keeping tabs on Sinclair, while Holt, Windass and Miller will be the main strikeforce, and Halliday and McKay as providers. Anyway, as long as everyone is up for this and gives his all, we are in with a chance. NB: Good to see starts for Gilks and Hodson. Feel a bit for Forrester, as his ability and aggression might be needed. Edited October 23, 2016 by der Berliner 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Anyway, as long as everyone is up for this and gives his all, we are in with a chance. In a strange way, the 5-1 game might do us some favours today. We had a number of OF debutants that day. Now they know what it's all about. It was glaringly obvious after that game that Joey Barton in particular thought he could come up here, give it the Billy Big Baws, and stroll it. Doesn't quite work like that and I'm sure (or hope) he knows it now. I personally would have gone with Garner alongside Miller - he seemed to be the one new boy who played without fear in that game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
