Gribz 743 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 There is talk that the SPL / SFA want to re-schedule Rangers trip to St Mirren and Celtics home game with Falkirk on November 10 in order to protect the Scottish players from potential injury in order they are fit for Scotlands game against Italy. Personally I think this is a good idea and the clubs should aid the national team in such a huge game. We need Ferguson, Hutton, McCulloch, Weir, Brown, McManus and probably Hartley all fully fit and at top of their game for the Italy game. I can see a few fans thinking the games shouldnt be touched and I can kind of see there point of view. But Id rather see Scotland get to the Euro's next summer and for the sake of 1 saturday, if it helps, then I think its a good idea. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wija 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Agree with you Gribz... Really want to be in the finals next year and I hope we beat the Italians. It will be extremely hard, but it can be done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,411 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 It's a great idea IMO,it's now down to a one off game against the world champions,we must give ourselves every chance of beating them 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraser54 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 It shouldnt just be our games, but also all of the SPL games. There seeing some sense for once, that game on Saturday should have never been played. Biggest game of the season and it's sandwiched in between a big game for Scotland and two big games in europe for either side of the Old Firm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was re-scheduled for another date the scoreline might've been different. :cheers: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraser54 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yeah its great to sa that in heinsight, but it should never had been played. If the SFA wants scottish football to get better they need to give teams a chance, helping players get some rest before big european games 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 these games are a whole week away from the Italy one so I don't see the problem playing them. You could easily lose someone to injury on the training ground. IMO a 2 week break might not help them as much as they think!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think moving the game back 24 hours to the friday night may help. I remember a Rangers v aberdeen game being moved back to a friday night coz of the league cup final when Raith beat celtic. I went to the game and McCoist got his 300th Gers goal in a 1-0 win - it was a great atmosphere playing it on a friday night. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Huistra hit the bar from just about the halfway line in that game? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
