    Sevco scoring on Sunday is an almost 100% certainty whilst we haven't scored for 2 games against Kilmarnock and St Johnstone. The writing looks to be on the wall but you never know. Worse Celtic teams than this have beaten better old rangers teams than this current tribute-act. I wonder if the manager has had any thoughts about a change in formation. I've been wondering if this 3-5-2 may work. Hart, Johnston, Lagerbielke, Scales, Ralston, O'Riley, McGregor, Turnbull, Taylor, Kyogo, Maeda. Could possibly replace Scales or Turnbull with Iwata and Haksabanovic could maybe come in for Turnbull. Still wouldn't be ideal of course but I like the idea of Kyogo and Maeda as a front two, their pace, movement and work-rate could cause problems.

    Have flashbacks to the last visit there. Laboured, can see them battering down the door in first 20 mins at least

    I really hope Jamsey and wee Bernie are not even on the bench for this one.

    Surely Palma and a new CB will be available for this at the very minimum.

    Hart

    Johnston Lagerbielke New CB Taylor

    Iwata McGregor

    Yang O’Riley Palma

    Kyogo

    Rodgers will start Maeda but I’d go Palma / Yang.

    If there was one game where we should lay-off the passing-out from the back it's this one. Sevco will be praying we do it because they love to press high and their forwards do it well. It'll only give the huns confidence whilst making ourselves nervous. I think it was the 2-2 game at Mordor last year where we scored early and were in total control for about 25/30 mins when we made an * of things on the edge of our box and Kent nearly scored. The game changed from exactly that moment and we were never the same after it.

    The midfield is a concern.

    All the pressure is on them. They need to win this one.

    We're at our weakest and it's at Ibrox. If they don't win this, questions will be asked of Beale again.

    I'm not expecting much from this tbh though. We haven't seen a good performance so far this season, so many injuries and we're very slow, which is weird.

    think we should just flood the midfield sit back and let them try and break us down ,kyogo will get a chance or two on the break. play mcgregor,o'riley,iwata,kwon and holm and dont give them an inch .we always give the chances pushing on trying to win instead of making them earn their opportunities

    The mole will think we will play the same formation and tactics so he will set his team up that way and Rogers should throw in a tactical grenade and change the formation he could over load the midfield and play 3-5-2 maybe Kyogo and maeda together so theirs alot of pace there .

    When was the last curveball at the midden that worked? Aye you might get a good debut out of someone but the likes of playing people out of position or ripping up your shape just doesn’t work.

    What we need is the squad leaders to stand up and be counted, it’s easy to forget how many we have because of how negative everything is after the last couple of results.

    Hart, GT, AJ, Cal, Maeda, MOR, Kyogo and even Abada have all put in big performances against the zombies in recent history. It’s a big ask but we just need it to click.

    Think we are just playing into the moles hands playing the same formation and tactics and at the moment the midfield is pretty powderpuff and going and playing five in the midfield could help us .

    The mole isn’t going to tactically outwit Rodgers. If they win it’ll be because we’ve not supplied the tools required for the job. Which would fall pretty much squarely on the Board given how much money we have at our disposal currently.

    I want to say 2-0 to us but the way we are playing, our * defence and * manager I think it will be a draw maybe 1-1 with them getting a penalty

    Keep saying it we have went back to the same old * running about in the last few days of the window to get players .
    The priority signings were a goalkeeper and left back and Jota replacement and now a centre half with a midfielder also now .
    It's really * * hour with this board your giving the zombie hoard a sniff of winning the league this year unforgivable by this board .
