    I mean he almost cost us the final by giving away a penalty. Yeah it wasn't given but that was lucky.
    I'm fine with Scales starting but I think he struggled at times against Cerny.

    If Trusty was going to play he’d have seen some game time at the weekend I think.

    Cerny isn’t really his man. That’s Taylor.

    My big prediction for this one: GT to play a blinder, link the play for 90 mins, ping 3 or 4 through balls onto a toe, set up a goal and score another.

    Then make one mistake to which 90% of folk lose the rag and declare him a disgrace.

    Nothing surer.

    gonna be a poisonous bizarre atmosphere. 50 thousand fans who hate all 22 players on the park.. maeda and Kuhn coming inside towards sterling and propper is frightening. Fancy sterling to either give away a pen or get a red

    They have a very poor back line and a very unconvincing goalie right now. We need to start fast press them and put balls in to work them early. I’d consider starting Idah as from what I have seen of Sterling and Propper neither of them are any good at defending aerial balls.

    My bad.

    The hearts one was in September i think. Not the past few weeks.

    Flailing his arms about. Shanklsnd header off his arm. Penalty given, but VAR overturned as the ball hadnt travelled far enough or something.

    I recall he did the same thing twice last season.

    As i said, if BR picks him it will be for his ability to bring the ball out. But even that isn't good enough for me. I recall yapping like * in a recent match thread about his wayward passing. Trying to thread balls and losing possession.

    Plus my hearts in my mouth anytime hes near an attacker in the box.

    He has a sizeable fan club on here but i think hes walking calamity at times.

    Trusty starts everyday of the week over him. For me at least.

    It's such a good feeling, there's been a few times we've went into the final game not caring about the result, but to go into the second game in the season against them with it being a dead rubber is incredible.

    No matter what happens on Thursday, the league is all but over, worst case we're still 11 points clear with them needing to come to Parkhead.

    As for the Trusty vs Scales debates, I 100% agree that Trusty is the better defender, but you can't throw him in when Scales has started the last 3 games and played fairly well in all of them.

    Trusty will start against St Mirren and Dundee United after the huns game, but against the huns, it has to be CCV and Scales.

    I want Maeda to score early like last time in that * forsaken HELLHOLE! The amount of huns that could potentially lose it would be unforgettable not to mention dangerous. I can see chaos. Please, please pleeeeaase bring it to them.

    Could lose this 20-0 and it still wouldn't make a difference...:62: play the reserves and rest players for important games...

    Huns are an insignificant distraction on Europe

    Could this be the first huns game ever where the hun crowd hate us slightly less than they hate their own team

    Never feel relaxed going into this game!
    Even the dead rubber game at the end of last season that meant nothing, * killed me to watch those * celebrate!
    Hope we smash and the stadium is empty by half time!

    He came on at half time and changed the game as well, took the game to them from the back and better use of the ball than Trusty.

    He’s had MotM performances against them before at Ibrox, not let us down against them ever. I love that if it is Trusty though, I’ll not care and be as confident in the defence. One major thing for me though, if Engel’s starts which is nailed on IMO then Scales has to. Set pieces, especially corners, Engels delivery and Scales in the box makes us more dangerous:

    if it’s Bernardo rather than Engels then Trusty is more in consideration due to Igamame’s pace.
