    Jan will start mark my words. We need his strength up there against Weir and Bougherra, and the fact that it's a cup final against the scum means that the adrenaline pumping through every player will ensure everyone is fired up. And a fired up JVOH is a * handy player to have.

    Same with Hartley, his experience and passion will get him a start.

    Boruc
    Hinkel
    Caldwell
    McManus
    Naylor
    Naka
    Hartley
    Brown
    McGeady
    McDonald
    JVOH

    Toss of a coin whether we'll play to our capabilites though, you just never know what Celtic side are goanny turn up.

    Not sure m8 but if they are they certainly won't get a start after being out for so long.

    No. Both injured and doubts for even the upcoming Scotland matches.

    Not confident at all for this one. It's going to be a long week I think.

    .Boruc
    .Hinkel Caldwell Mcmanus O Dea
    .Naka Brown Crosas Mcgeady
    .mcdonald Hesselink

    Vital win, get a cup out of the way and mometum for the title run in.

    Team I´d choose:

    Boruc
    Hinkel - Caldwell - McManus - O´Dea
    Naka - Brown - Hartley - McGeady/Flood
    McDonald - Jan

    keep Crosas for the SPL so he stays fit. I have a feeling he might be crucial for our goal "4 in a row". Hartley is like Gattuso. Indestructible.

    boruc
    hinkel - mcmanus - caldwell - odea
    naka - brown - crosas - mcgeady
    mcdonald - vennegoor/samaras

    we need to play either jan or samaras becausewith players like caldwell and mcmanus.. they are always goin to hit hi balls up the pitch :rolleyes:.. an that would be completely pointless if we had the smallest player on the pitch up on his own :bbpd:

    Not going to be reading the tabloids this week as I can't be bothered reading the tripe in the build up to the match.

    I get the feeling that it's going to be a crap game full of tackles with very little in the way of chances. I'm relying on a McDonald or Nakamura moment of inspiration to win this.

    Boruc
    Hinkel Mcmanus Caldwell O'Dea
    Nakamura Brown Crosas McGeady
    Mcdonald JVoH

    Could be a season decider this, a win and surely we would have the belief to go on and win the title. A loss and things will start to get on top of us.

    C'Mon Bhoys! 2-1 Jan and Brown!

    This would be the perfect game for Jan to get a goal actually.

    rangers will play the usual 451.i would play 352 to match up in the middle.my team would be boruc
    caldwell mcmanus odea
    hinkle naka hartley brown mcgeady
    mcdonald jan
    this team would let hartley sit brown run naka dictate.if needed we could revert back to a 442 with these players.

    Maloney(If fit?)...........................Mcgeady

    Scott McD

    We don't HAVE to play 4-4-2. We have lots of good mids, ONE gd striker. It's not rocket science, 3-5-1!!!!!!!!!
