Popular Post Rousseau 9,278 Posted May 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2019 Rangers will be able to call on reprieved Jon Flanagan in their Scottish Premiership finale at Kilmarnock on Sunday. The former Liverpool defender was cited by the Scottish Football Association after a post-match video consultation suggested he had elbowed Celtic's Scott Brown during Sunday's Old Firm game. But it was confirmed on Friday afternoon that Rangers had won their appeal over the retrospective red card. Celtic might be on track for another treble but Gers have struck upon a winning formula since their Old Firm defeat at Parkhead, with last weekend's derby triumph their sixth in a row. "I've just been told we've never had a clean sweep of wins after the split so that is a good incentive for us," Gers assistant boss McAllister, speaking in place of boss Steven Gerrard, said. "We're on a good run so it will be nice to finish on a high and have that buoyancy for next season." Kilmarnock are looking to cap a fine season by sealing third spot but manager Steve Clarke will have to watch the final game of the season from the stands after being handed a two-match touchline ban following recent comments about referee Steven McLean. But his Killie future remains in doubt amid links to the Scotland job and assistant Alex Dyer has admitted Clarke would find the national job hard to turn down. Team News While Flanagan is available, Nikola Katic and Scott Arfield will miss the Rugby Park clash after both were given extra time off ahead of summer commitments with Croatia's U21s and Canada respectively. But Graham Dorrans could end his seven-month knee injury nightmare against Steve Clarke's side. "Graham has featured well in training recently," said McAllister. "He's had a couple of games behind closed doors and done very well so Graham will come into consideration for the weekend definitely." https://www.skysports.com/football/kilmarnock-vs-rangers/preview/406788 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,278 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I think a fully fit Dorrans is a really top class option in the middle of the park. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,058 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Under Clarke kilmarnock have become a hard team to beat so it wont be a walk in the park , but I would love to see us give them a good thumping . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but "THAT" surface at Rugby Park is wrong place to make comeback IMO. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,661 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Going to be an odd match. We have nothing to play for aside from continuing an unbeaten run they have a third place finish and a guaranteed Euro spot to play for. They’re going to be the more motivated to risk injury. The last thing we want now is more injuries on that plastic hell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Would be nice to finish the season in style and surpass the 80 point mark but the best result today would be for the players to come off that pitch injury free 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Effectively, the season ended last week for us. Team will be different today, no real pressure and Kilmarnock will probably be up for it. Resultwise, anything could happen and I won't be too bothered either way. I would like to see a couple of the youngsters get their chance, given opportunities to throw them in are so few and far between. It'd be good to get a fully fit Dorrans back for next season but it'll be a pleasant surprise to me if he's able to play regularly at a decent pace. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but let's give the management team and players some leeway today, they deserve it. It's the one and only game of a 60 odd game campaign I'd say that. Give some youngsters a deserved chance and not just 10 minutes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Thinking about it, I'd like to see management trying out something different formation wise. With Scott Arfield unavailable, I think the current formation loses something They must come up with loads of variations that never get tested in competitive games. What about a 3-5-2 again? Fod Flanagan - Goldson - Worrell Polster - Youth - Davis - Kamara - Barasic Defoe - Mebude Subs to include Mrs Polster Edited May 19, 2019 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
