so let’s hear how you would set them up

After you, old bean.

Can't see there being much change from Sunday. Maybe Wright gets a start. Personally I'd play Arfield but can't see him starting. 

[Malangsob 1,212]

Nothing would chap the scum's cheeks more than if we started B heavy side against them.

 

I think it would be hilarious and a potential learning opportunity for all concerned.

There is a fluidity about that front three.

 

The ball in behind should turn them because of the pace in the front three.

 

We are grabbing at straws because of the lack of first choice strikers. My worry is the 70-80 yard diagonals played from our own box, I do not see any of those three winning headers.

 

However, I remember a game against the Yahoos from '73 at ra Stydome. Parlane, Stein, Young, ... etc were all out. Wallace went with Alfie Conn and Graham Fyfe up front. We ran tham ragged and won 1-2.

 

I am hoping.

That’s what made the big man a good man manager

Not so hilarious when they put 7 past us if we start with that team.

Maybe so...but it don't change second place...and that is where we is no matter matter.

 

Fun halftime idea.

 

Dress a midget up like a leprechaun and have Broxi chase him around the pitch whackin him with a foam bat.

 

If you can't beat em...beat em.

How about beating them - would that chap their cheeks?

All joking aside.

 

Rangers goal and mission during this final phase of the season should be about experimentation, evaluation and hopefully young player growth. 

 

I know everyone wants to win.

 

That's great, but if winning causes the team to sacrifice the above then that win is ultimately fruitless. 

 

Everyone in the organization from nip to tip need to know who can carry the water. 

 

No time for grasshoppers. Get to plannin.

Every game against Celtic should only have one goal and that's to win. Experimentation and evaluation can take place in other games.

Anyone who doesn’t understand this point has yet to embrace fully what being  Rangers fan means.
