    disagree about OF games being impossible to predict, whoever wants it more wins it imo.

    Do us a favour mate and gives us some facts about us and the Huns that would give us a belief that we can go there and win.you could say that they got gubbed from hibs but if we are being totally honest we aren't scoring enough goals and are conceding loads

    the fact that rangers are * too perhaps... most of their wins all by the odd goal from a coincidental penalty in the dying minutes.

    We might as well just play without a striker at all. He stuck Stokes on the right and Samaras on the left against the huns and neither of them turned up.

    We should stick to a 4-4-2 and stop trying to out think the opponent. Pick the best 11 players in their positions then go and play.

    going into the game with a pesimistic view is the last thing we need

    I also don't think we should be scared of them. We have been inept at times the past 3 games but the same team has turned it on a good few time as well over the past few months. The winning SPL streak was no mean feat, for example.

    The huns are no great shakes and all this squad of players should have to be told is you either prove you are better than the huns or there is the door. I don't think applauding the fact the huns can't afford a couple of heating engineers to sort out their destitute stadium is doing anyone any good.

    It's nothing to do with being pessimistic or optimistic. We will lose at Ibrox, we always lose at Ibrox. With this team we just can't do it. So I'm actually considering, for the first time since as long as I can remember, not watching it. There is just no point. We can't win. Unless we sign 11 new players on January 1st or we get a proper manager.

    Im dreading it also, how can we go there and defend well and break them down when he struggle to break down lesser spl teams :38:

    I have no doubt leading up to the OF we will get Stokes saying 'Im fired up and ready to prove what I can do' and others telling us how they are going to destroy rangers and then watch that very same player do nothing for 90 minutes and completely go in a shell.

    If we score first, I think we will be stuck in two minds of what to do, go for the 2nd or defend, we will ultimately drop deeper and deeper and it will be a matter of time before that * Miller gets a lucky break to equalise and from then on they will have the momentum and go for the winner.

    If they score first we will look for inspiration and panick on the ball and make wrong decisions like trying to beat an extra man when the early cross is on, the home crowd will spurs the huns on and they will catch us on the counter attack and get a dubious penatly and go on to win.

    I honestly don't think we are capable with this current team of going to Ibrox and not conceding, the only player who would give me a little confidence is Hooper who looks likely to miss it :54:

    Sorry for the really negative post but I just honestly can't see us winning there against spl proven quality defenders against our panicky bombshells.

    I would be delighted with a point!

    id be feeling better for the game if lennon just stuck "hard" men out onto the field instead of trying to out smart smith, play rangers at their own game, except guys like juarez and kayal have some skill about them compared to mcculloch.

    It'll be a hard game, it always is but I don't see us being pumped. Something inside me (Stupidity or blind optimism) tells me that we will come away from Ipox with something.
