Yeah I got a notification about this from my live scores app. Strange because I’ve not heard about it.

Says we’re 19 mins into the game
Maybe a closed doors friendly

Whats the team

Picture isn't great

I think its from left to right

Gray
Bain
Murray
Fonts
Porteous
Slivka?
McGeouch
MacLaren?
Stokes
Stevenson
Shaw?

But 3 or 4 of those will no doubt be wrong

Exelsior the better side so far according to their twitter but not many chances.

Murray, Shaw, Maclaren AND Stokes at the same time? What is this, a 4-2-4 or something? Neil must be hothousing some radical tactical experimentation for the latter half of the season.

No sign of Simon Murray though... :confused:

We will have such a strong squad when everyone is fit. Our defensive options are fine and Fonts will push the likes of McGregor and Ambrose. Be great when Swanson is back to full fitness. Am I right in thinking we have no more injuries bar Laidlaw?

Bain, Gray, S Murray, Fontaine, Porteous, Matulevicius, McGeouch, Hanlon/Stirling, Stokes, Stevenson, Slivka.

So it sounds like a 3-4-1-2.

Bain; Fonts, Porteous, Hanlon/Stirling; Gray, McGeouch, Slivka, Stevenson; Stokes; Matulevicius, S Murray?

When Hibs were in Holland on a pre season a few years back, I spoke to an ADO Den Haag fan and he said that de Graaf had been a cracking player in his day. Fan said he was astonished when Hibs signed de Graaf who was ‘clearly past his best’

Oops wrong thread, sorry :greengrin

That's because most of them are born below sea level. They get a few inches start over everyone else. Their women are particularly statuesque, and I don't mean the ones in the windaes!

Seems strange as looks like he was only 29/30 when he signed.

Excelsior have been going to Algarve for some time so I originally thought they would be our opponents. Last year, the restaurant I was in confined us to a small room as big room was given over to players from Excelsior, RB Leipzig & Ajax. IIRC RBL beat Ajax 5-1. Makes me even more frustrated I came home last night!

Can you imagine if we did. Potter would have the Clogger's XI set up in an 8-3-0 formation to nulify our midfield threat.

We have another game on Friday and this week is an ideal opportunity to give all our fit players a run out.We don’t know who is leaving and who isn’t, everything is just rumours

According to Dougie Donnelly Stirling's near Sterling and he's in Manchester C's first team. Does that help?
