Not much of a hoodoo when we put them out of both Cups with Morelos scoring 7 in 2 games.

Not really to be fair, I just can't bear the prospect of more points dropped to such a poor side.

At an SPFL level, Killie aren't a poor side.

They are a well organised team that are greater than the sum of their parts.

 

A slightly understrength Rangers team should still be able to handle the game.

However, regardless of what XI we play, it'll be about our mentality and how much we really want it.

Sometimes it's very difficult to avoid that end of season feel.

Freshening it up might actually improve our chances. It'll certainly make us more unpredictable for Clarke and gives our coaching staff a chance to tweak/experiment if they had something in mind.

Absolutely. I only call them a poor side due to the quality of their players.

The build-up to that second goal was beautiful.

How can a centre midfielder be so good to watch? I'm wary of getting carried away as we always do, but there is no question of his technical ability on the ball. The way he loses his man so often with a quick bit of skill is just a joy to watch.

IMO, it's between that and the Morelos goal at Aberdeen for Most Beautiful Halfway Line to Net..... Goal of the season.

 

Splitting the component parts.

Best finish was Morelos but best build-up was yesterday.

We knew he could play this way.

 

What was important about yesterday was that he kept the head in his first OF start and actually played above his usual level.

Elbow straight in the face on Defoe and just as I remember it yesterday. No action taken, no condemnation on BBC, no wet knickers for Micky Stewart and nothing to see here.
