    Don't think we'll see a full raft of changes, they're going well in the League new management team, who will have seen a lot us..

    Old Firm Derby's are always tough.

    If he can't do it against Partick Thistle then I have grave fears he won't be able to do it against anyone

    Some players just need a bit more time.

    New country, new style of play, expectation etc. Will need our backing after a difficult start.

    I agree and I also hope Kelechi doesn't.

    Bring him on in the 60th when their teams a bit tired so he can ease into the game mode seamlessly. Don't want him to have a * start and come off against Patrick goalless and put a dent in his confidence.

    I don't feel lack of confidence will be an issue for him.

    But agree, wouldn't start him.

    Id consider playing Balikwisha[in 10 role] just off Iheanacho with Tounetki on the left and forrest on the right.

    Engles and Barnardo playing as an 8 and 6.

    I expect Murray to start and very interested to see if Pusey is giving some minutes

    To be fair yeah I'd agree.

    He'd be more likely to lose motivation than confidence during poor stints of performance I imagine.

    * it. Let’s just put a rogue lineup out. Give Tounekti a shot on the right.

    Doohan

    Donovan Murray JSP Inamura

    Engels Bernardo McCowan

    Tounekti Osmand Balikwisha

    I think we will see a good amount of changes for this one, there’s a lot of players needing game time in the squad just now.

    Right back will be interesting, we’re at a point where risking Donovan (despite the fact he’s only started a single game for us) might not be worth it.

    I’m still holding out a very slight hope he’s better than Scales :56:

    I'd rather see Murray in for CCV and also Nygren for Bali.

    Lifelong hoops fan here.
    I'll be flying into Glasgow this weekend from Istanbul.
    Anyone know where I might pick up a ticket for this game?

    I think you will probably be right about Bernardo as the 6 and Engels as the 8. With Ralston out likely we see Donovan get another start as well as Murray starting at the back.

    Think we will see Donovan start as well as Murray at the back. Who plays as the 10 will be interesting but likely we see Bernardo and Engels as the 6 and 8. Again who starts as the 9 will be interesting but likely we see both our new wingers starting.

    Ticket office. I'd imagine you'd have zero issue getting tickets.
