Against Cowdenbeath I think we'd be fine with Kent or Middleton on the left. I'd prefer we went with Barisic (no idea if fit or not) and gave the formation/players a chance to get some competitive minutes. IMO Tav and Barisic are by far the best full back partnership in the league to play this way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are stronger attacking than defending and have the potential to provide a steady flow of assists. I think the key to the wing backs getting space in a 3-5-2 is having as much creativity and threat as possible from the 3 centre mids. If you play centre mids who prefer to keep things simple it doesn't work. This would support playing Kent in front of maybe Davis and Jack because he loves a free role and would be a threat running into the channels and distracting full backs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be daft we do not have one player good enough for the Celtic team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Old Firm game on Sportsound Michael Stewart conceded McGregor and Tav would make the select. We should be grateful for that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair our players have won nothing and the gauntlet has been thrown down for them to justify the status of being better than Celtic's players by consistently performing over the next few months, including the away old firm game where you don't have the 12th man. Hopefully their end of season select will be very different. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really ... who cares about a select team chosen by Rangers haters? Will Rangers win more trophies if a meaningless elect team is packed with our players. Again, who cares? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
