As above except Stack in goals, also drop Sproule for Spoony. Bring Sproule on 15 mins from the end. Francomb in RB is a must for tomorrow I think. Cannae make it tomorrow though, being dragged to a christening in Ingerlandshire. :rolleyes:

Galbraith is injured....

[Golden Bear]

Galbraith is injured....

Again?!

[Baldy Foghorn]

Again?!

Yip out for 10 days according to official site

[007 Mickey Weir]

Galbraith is injured....

Sorry didnt know that. well Stanton on the bench then.

Mcpake has just played 2or3 matches for Coventry so is match fit. Has to start.

I wouldn't play Hart and Francomb. hart is too slow so Francomb gets the nod from me. More of an attacking RB.

Rangers will play 4-5-1 so we can crowd out the midfield where they are stronger.

Big ask for Doyle to play loan striker. But no other choice.

Have you seen our defence recently?

I hope James McPake will play and make a difference tomorrow but I don't think there's any way that they won't score against us tomorrow, even without Jelavic.

Yeah think Doyle will be lone striker tomorrow, maybe give Caldwell last 15 minutes to see what he can bring to the party?

This team is in essence ok but the one concern is if we are going forward and Soares and Osbourne go up to support they are going to have to get back a hell of a quickly if we lose the ball. Bottome line is Sproule won't be there putting a tackle thus leaving booth and stevenson to keep der hun from running straight through at our fragile defence.

Id play Stack instead of Brown, but otherwise as good a selection as we have got

[Baldy Foghorn]

yes

[Golden Bear]

Yip out for 10 days according to official site

Injuries are going to blight Danny's career by the looks of it.

He played well last week when he come on as a "sub" but he's another player who has not progressed as much as expected.

I thought that too, but PF mentions on website that Murray and Galbraith both injured, and GOC and LG both suspended........Maybe an oversight but I thought it was in Weds Evening News re Hanlon

Just checked, Hanlon suspended for visit of Aberdeen on February 11...

Thought he was available this week but suspended for following league match

You are right Pat

Expect to see something like

Brown

Hart
McPake
Stephens
Hanlon

Soares
Stevenson
Osborne
Booth
Sproule

Doyle

[At The Edge]

I just hope that we don't just play the hoooooofball up to Doyle, i get the feeling he isn't that kind of striker. put the ball to his feet and it looks like he has decent control and a few tricks.

Brown/Stack

Francomb
McPake
Stephens (even though he had a howler last week, enough there to suggest that he's a decent player)
Hanlon

Spoonie
Soares
Ozzy
Stevenson
Booth

Doyle

[carnoustiehibee]

since this is a no lose for fenlon tomo, expected to get beat anyway. i hope he'll spring a surprise with either sodje or young fringe players getting chances.

[Sylar]

I thought Sodje was away on trial with some club in Belgium? :confused:

[Andy74]

Yeah think Doyle will be loan striker tomorrow, maybe give Caldwell last 15 minutes to see what he can bring to the party?

I think he is the only one who is not on loan.

[Baldy Foghorn]

I think he is the only one who is not on loan.

Haha very good, I had to read my original post to ensure I had not made an erse of myself. I had of course, if only I could spell....:wink:

ah, i didnt know that. och well soares for sodje then 4-5-1

BROWN

HART McPAKE STEPHENS HANLON


FRANCOMBE OSBOURNE [CAPTAIN] STEVENSON SOARES


SPROULE

DOYLE
take any result in our favour tomorrow!!!!!!
but as the huns are trailing the tic by 4 points expect a few dodgy pens going to them
bt

[Ferryhibby]

Me personally sounds negative but every points a prisoner so i would put the few hard working taclers in midfield stevenson,ozzy soares, francomb and booth leave doyle upfront maybe hope for a break but shut up shop and hope for a point, if we get anything from this itl b a bonus but think theyl get a pen or an offside goal somewhere

yup, looks best we got!!! wouldn't let sproule near my side!!! I'd be inclined to play hart as well. don't think he merits being dropped.

[brydekirk]

Good selection OP, Sproule has been crap lately but since were playing Rankers i'd leave him in.

[thebakerboy]

Don't understand why anyone would even consider having Sproule any where near the first team squad after his last few outings , would be better playing one short. So more or less any other 11 will suite me as long as they roll up their sleeves and get stuck in 'causethis Rangers team is no great shakes and a point would be good.:pfgwa

He's scored more goals at Ibrox than David Healy has, and it looks like he will start for the auld cream buns.

Other than that I can't come up with anything.

Caldwell Doyle

Subs: Stack Forster Soares Stanton Francomb Sproule Handling

Booth and Wotherspoon can help out our full backs, and if we can frustrate them for the first 30 minutes or so, I actually think we could nick something here. If Booth starts at LB, I think he'll have a very hard time coping with Aluko.

[SMAXXA]

Im astonished at the amount of people that have Stack in goals over Brown, IMO he had one of his best games for Hibs against St J and kept us in the game on a number of occasions, he should retain the jersey until a point he ****s up.

Cant see Brown being dropped, its his turn in goals and has done nowt wrong. On the strength of Pat looking for more experience in the team and that its Ibrox, I think Hart will be retained and O'Hanlon in for Stephens. Hanlon in for Booth at left back. I think Doyle is the sort who needs someone to play off or with up front rather than being on his own therefor we might see Dee Wotherspoon behind him.

MY TEAM
Brown - Hart O'Hanlon McPake Hanlon--Soares Osbourne Stevenson Booth---Wotherspoon Doyle.
Cant see Sproule getting a start but that might be wishfull thinking.

Looking forward to going there tomorrow, who ever Pat plays they will need my support and its an act of defiance.

I agree, the very thought of him running at Hanlon if he plays left back worries me, mind Booth aswell right enough

Opinions are amazing eh ? If there`s one place I would play Sproule, it`s Ibrox, course and distance and all that.

What I don`t understand are all the people who continue to pick Paul Hanlon in the team, he`s been poor for about as long as I remember.

[Sylar]

He's inconsistent.

But on his day, he's a massive danger.

He's been pretty consistent since moving to Ibrox and he'll cause no end of grief tomorrow.

Can't say I'm confident...

I would settle for that as our strongest possible team (assuming McPake and Soares are an improvement). I don't see the manager dropping Hart and on recent performances he shouldn't.
