yuddie 1,012 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Score prediction: I'll say 3-1 Rangers. Good start to the season can be a setup for the rest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 5,832 Posted August 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2023 What will be our centre back pairing? I assume it is too early for Goldson? Will Soutar be risked on Rugby Park's drastic plastic? Balogun was down twice against the Greeks and, received treatment. Could it be Lundstram and Balogun? I am beginning to worry our defence might resemble a sieve at the start of this coming season. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Goldson, Souttar, Davies, and Balogun are in varying states of injury? 37 minutes ago, 26th of foot said: I am beginning to worry our defence might resemble a sieve at the start of this coming season. Who could have seen this coming? I don't think any of our CB's have any injury history of note. Crazy right? Well we have that Yfelko...Yfleko...we have the Yeti if need be. Sterling can slide in too. We should be fine for CL quals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,476 Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Perfect Saturday evening wishlist... 1. Rangers win. 2. New players contribute/score. 3. We keep a clean sheet. 4. No-one gets injured. 5. Bottle of 19 Crimes Cab Sauv. I've already got one sorted, now it's up to you Ranger's... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also help the FB's. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been advocating 3 at the back now for a while but Beale doesn't seem to be a fan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerously too easy to be honest 🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,245 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Well, Killie will come out steaming on their home turf, so we might do well to cover our defense at the start for that. I thought playing Lundstram in that CB role against the Germans was quite hazardous, but it worked and with him have someone there who can play a pass out of defence. These are games where a back-3 might be the order of the day, I'd prefer Sterling - Souttar - Balogun right now. One "cleaner" ahead of them, Jack, while the wingers get the order of tracking back as well, even though Cantwell does that anyway, Sakala and Matondo too. I'd go for Ridvan on the left flank still, as he is more a wingback than a fullback. IMHO, we have the people now to press and bury teams from the off, given the 5-subs rule, we can adopt "standard" line-ups later on. Butland Sterling - Souttar - Balogun Cantwell - Raskin - Jack - Ridvan Danilo - Lammers - Sakala What we will get will most likely look more like the standard fare: Butland Tavernier - Souttar - Balogun/Davies - Ridvan/Barisic Jack - Raskin Sima - Lammers - Cantwell Dessers/Danilo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
