Match Thread [FT] Rangers 2 (Dessers 30'; Tavernier 84' pen) - 0 St Johnstone

[yuddie 1,013]

I get it's been a big week for the lads and we're all chuffed atm, but for me it would be complete if we played St Johnstone off the park tonight.

 

Zip and energy after a cup win instead of a massive come down with slow, turgid football.

 

We can postpone the comedown until after we lift the league title and take a breather is my view.

 

Here's hoping eh.

I don't recall McCausland playing on the left for the first team.

 

If it's a physical game then I'd have thought we'd want to have Sima in there. If we were to rest him, I'd expect Matondo to come in for him rather than switching Wright.

I provided the stats, and they both have played on either flank. I'd keep McCausland where he is right now.

The squad do have a few weeks without fixtures in January.

More rotation than I thought but looking forward to seeing the lesser spotted Dowell in action.

 

C'mon lads!

Subs: McCrorie, Dessers, Cantwell, Matondo, Sterling, Wright, Balogun, Barisic, King.

 

Time will tell whether it was reasonable to field McCausland in so many games, same with Sima.

I trust the Gaffer's judgement.                                 C'mon The Gers

Too many IMO.

1-1 on head knocks so far

Every time Roofe attempts something more than a casual jog, I get nervous.
