    Armstrong ahead of Rogic? I hope not!

    Big Tam loves a game at Hampden and they can't get near him. I'd be amazed if he was dropped.

    If Rogic starts, I think Rodgers might play Armstrong ahead of Ntcham.

    Personally, I can't see past a central two of Brown and Ntcham. Having those two means Armstrong may be more suitable for this game due to his movement and energy, as we all know how fast paced these games tend to be, especially in the early stages.

    Which midfielder do you think will drop out for McGregor?

    Well after our last 2 * games against Dundee Cake and Hamilton Acne i think it will be third time lucky and we WILL put in a FINE performance on Sunday and reign total misery on the Huns.

    If he does then I'd be amazed given how poor Armstrong was in the game in December and how excellent Ntcham was both when he came on that game and when he got MOTM in the recent game. It would be a ludicrous decision by Brendan.

    Armstrong should be on the bench and ready to come on to run at tired legs like he did in last season's League Cup semi. He's done nothing to warrant a start ahead of Ntcham in my opinion.

    In the number 10 role we need a bit of class and composure that can bring the ball down and play while the rest of the game descends into a frantic kick and rush. There's no-one better than Big Tam to do that. 2 goals at Ibrox this season, a goal in both Cup Finals last season, to drop him would be insane.

    I agree with you, but Armstrong's performance against County showed that he may be getting back to his best form and if he impresses in training, he has a chance of starting. His pressing could be vital in this game for us. Having said that, I did notice that Rogic was pressing more, recently.

    I could probably be accused of bias against Armstrong because I'm still * off at the contract saga and his insipid performances after that but I didn't he was all that brilliant in the County game. He finished his goal well after a bad touch but there wasn't anything that I seen to suggest he should oust either Rogic or Ntcham.

    His horror show when up against Krancjar and their young CB is still ingrained in my memory. I think we should go with the tried and trusted.

    Fair enough mate, but I do think you have to consider that his form was likely impacted by the hernia.

    Yeah, obviously that's got to be taken into account but it makes it all the more confusing that Rodgers picked him for that game knowing full well he was struggling.

    Since then Ntcham and Rogic have been outstanding so there's no case to drop them.

    Will be very annoyed if Forrest, McGregor & Armstrong start.

    Time to go * wild with the line-up & have Musonda, Roberts, Rogic, Moussa & Griffiths all starting.

    4-0.

    We already won this game when we beat them 3-2 at their dump.

    Show up with the right attitude and mentality and we'll win. Won't go for convincingly or thrashing them as it never pans out like that in these types of games, but we'll win.

    Sevco's only threat comes from Tavernier and lesser John, If we pin them back they don't stand a chance cos they can't defend, aswell as Brown patrolling the Midfield 8/10 perfomance we will win comfortably.

    If it's Alves and Martin at Cb (2 old men) Moussa should dominate them too time and again run the legs off them.
