Rangers vs Celtic > Scottish Cup

442 , our 4 in midfield are good enough to control the game without needing an extra man, hooper and stokes up top.

 

Same here, last night I had a dream it finished 2-2 though.

Watching this in a pub with a mate :icon_mrgreen:

 

Rangers (from): McGregor, Whittaker, Papac, Weir, Bougherra, Davis, Jelavic, Edu, Naismith, Lafferty, Fleck, Diouf, Healy, Alexander, Bartley, Weiss, McMillan, Ness.

Celtic (from): Forster, Wilson, Mulgrew, Loovens, Majstorovic, Rogne, Ki, Cha, Juarez, Izaguirre, Brown, Toshney, Ledley, Zaluska, Kayal, McCourt, Commons, Stokes, Samaras, Murphy, Hooper, Keatings, Carey, Ljungberg.

 

As this is a cup tie I think 4-4-2 is what we need. Let Hooper and Stokes loose on old man time.

 

Got to stick to the norm ,they will set up as 4-5-1 but Celtic at 4-4-2 will give Walter a lot to think about .

 

Just wanted to see what people thought. I personally would play Hooper and Samaras in a 4-4-2. I know Samaras seemed to be effective on his own last time, but Hooper and he I feel would make a great combo, if Hooper dropped and played off of him.

 

Sammy should start.

 

dunno I would give stooper the first half and if they don't look like doing anything I would give sammy a go

 

would be unfair to drop hooper or stokes imo

 

But we've seen what he done last time. So there is the decision to be made. He will probably go with those two, but if Samaras was 100%, then personally I would put him in there.

 

To my way of thinking they don't have anymore to offer than Hearts or Aberdeen so why change a winning formula?

 

Are we really favorites? They´ve got home advantage after all. I dont think sammy should start since hooper and stokes have been so brilliant recently. If we play 4-5-1 I think it should be like this:

--------Forster----------
Ri-Wilson-Maj-Izzy
Ledley-Kayal-Brown-Ki-Commons
----------Hoops-------------


perhaps Ljungberg or Mccourt can play as wing mids though...

Confused...

My Facebook is going mad with Bears saying no Weiss or Naismith due to a NOTW story tomorrow? Anyone know?

Supposedly FF just took down a thread on this.




Anyone heard anything

 

Maybe they've been cosying up together if you get my drift

 

If Stooper are dropped, they will be thinking 'what must we do then?'

 

That was over a month ago and probaly about 6-7 games ago ,Celtic have really upped there game since then so really why change a winning team or at least you start with them and if it goes against you ,you make changes then ,this team is getting stability about it and Lennon has mucked about with it enough and i reckon now he knows his strongest 11.

 

Truly hope that you're right rab

 

I think Ki is in his strongest 11, not ledley.

I stand by opinion that I would play Samaras. But I see what you mean. Ordinarily I actually wouldn't change it, but based on what Samaras done to Rangers last time- never mind his and the teams previous peformances and form prior to that- he has given us all something to think about.

 

This is my exact thinking, let's just hope Lenyn is thinking this too.
