The question is where on the park will their heat map feature ?

 

I reckon it might begin on the deep side close to our defence.

Kamara to push forward from the 3. Kamara is good on the half turn and also good at getting fouled.

As in most OF games I've watched, tempo and energy will be the deciding factor. Start slow, lose fast.

I think we are due a big Ryan Kent performance. I get that he pulls players here and there but I feel he needs to work the keeper more when in good positions (as opposed to his standard row Z efforts).  

[Uilleam 5,492]

Not a lot of pace on the field, nor on the bench.

 

It looks like we will be boxing on the back foot, which can work as a tactic, but not one with which I am always comfortable. 

Ceding a lot of possession and territory gives me the jitters, as it relies on a very, very low error count, forced or unforced.

Send this to the Rangers dressing room today. No other words needed.

This is the problem in trying to contain.

 

Walter's sides bucked that trend but the individual quality and defensive organisation we had back then was excellent.

Last week Argentina deservedly beat the All Blacks.

 

This week NZ ruined them 53-3.

 

Moral - last week means nothing. So cheer up lads. Get wired in and it’s victory to the Famous.

Celtic will probably expect us to sit back initially so let's push a slightly higher line and take the game to them. As Bill said earlier, tempo is key.

I can see no reason why Rangers should expect to do anything other than win this game today. The "opposition" has played no one of any account yet and has proven nothing. We have and against far better teams than them.

Tempo is the one reason I've occasionally doubted Kamara. He's a good player no doubt but he does tend to slow things down going forward. For that reason alone I'd rather have started Arfield in place of Kamara.
