How Do We Set Up At Ibrox?

I would say we go for the win no matter how they play! Recently they haven't been great but they'll lift themselves against us, anyway I would play 4-4-2

How do we set out?

We go out with 11 players on the pitch, we play our best football and we pump those *

Yesterday was a good test for Celtic in the sense that aberdeen sat in after there player was sent off ,they tried to frustrate Celtic by defending but we seen what happened in the 2nd half ,rangers will play there 4-5-1 system with many behind the ball and try and catch Celtic on the break .

In my view Celtic must start with Stokes and Hooper and play there normal game against them ,Celtic are a different team with those 2 up front and the wide men play a massive part in this ,When Sammi plays he is the wide man and in the last game Hooper was left badly exposed because Sammi plays to wide and to far apart from his partner .

The Midfield look happier aswell when these 2 are playing ,the ball moves quicker and the front 2 can bring the Midfield forward and into the game more as they can hold the ball up aswell .

 

I'd go with the same team as played Aberdeen but with Maj coming in for Rogne. If Ledley is missing then Ki to replace him, but I really hope Ledley does make it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

How about Juarez in there ,he can mix it and he can play a bit aswell ,its his best position.

 

Juarez has to relace ledley if he is injured. Ki just isn't doing it atm for me. Don't even think we've seen Juarez as a CM all season in the league

 

Ki, only if 5 man midfield.

IF Ledley is injured still then Brown has to step inside and Maloney or Forrest should play wide. No Juarez or Ki, it's not thier type of game. We need pace, skill and a hard midfield, i.e. Brown & Kayal. Both can tackle and Kayal can pick a pass.
Sack any long ball methods. We play at our best with the ball on the deck and running at defences. The huns might be well up for it, but we should be more up for it, simple. Our best 11 was the 11 that started yesterday and it should stay that way.

If Ledley is out throw Maloney in his position and Commons behind the front 2, Lets smash them!!

Rangers are a totally different proposition to Aberdeen though.

Players like Naismith will hurt us if we're not on our game.

Samaras is the striker we have who can stretch them and the game.

He plays IMO.

Expect Stokes to play on Wednesday and step aside for the Greek on Sunday.

Ledley is a key player and would be a blow if he'd miss out.

Im not too sure this is Ki's kind of game. He seems to like to play at his own pace - irrespective of the tempo of the game. He would be a risk.

Moving Broony into the middle with Forrest out wide would probably be a better option.

 

That would be my preferred choice, but realistically I can't see Lennon putting Juarez in before Ki. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
