Ibrox Visit

[dastardly8]

We will be the usual underdog on Wednesday at Ibrox , why don’t we just go for it and play , Jasper , Melkersen etc , we won’t win with Nisbet and Doidge who are off the boil currently , play the boys rangers don’t know about , you never know what will happen

I’ll take a guess at answering the bit in bold ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, their recent 5-0 thumping of Hearts might look like a pre-match warm-up before sending us home with our tails between our legs.

Mind you, you could very well be onto a spark of footballing innovation with your thoughts.:wink:

[Pagan Hibernia]

You just never know.

it would be very Hibs to go there in rotten form and come home with 3 points.

one of the reasons I love this crazy club

[Bill Milne]

Nick Walsh is referee! No chance for us.

[BlackSheep]

Tomorrow is a free hit for us i think so why not give some new faces a go... i'd throw in a few youngsters while we are at it.

Im serious, no sarcasm here.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

IMO playing The Rangers is always a free-hit especially away from home. Whatever the scoreline , good or bad, I would hope that we keep the reaction measured.

one of the reasons I love this crazy clubThis is the essence of being a Hibee. Drives us nuts but we keep coming back for more. Well, some folk don't come back, but that's another story.

It would be even more Hibs to go there and win 3-0 before going to Arbroath at the weekend and...

Never happening.... there will be 10 or more threads started about whether Maloney has what it takes or whether he needs time etc etc etc

[Saint Hibee]

The only certainty is that Walsh will send Porteous off, but completely ignore a red card offence by Morelos.

Whilst I'd hope that most people would bear in mind that we're playing a team which is worth millions more than ours and is currently nearly 30 points ahead of us, clearly if the result ends up embarrassing then I think people will rightly be asking questions, particularly with what's gone on over the past few weeks.

A 1 or 2 goal defeat and I think most reasonable people will look upon that as not being a disaster, albeit still being disappointed at losing. If it's a hammering then I think people will be entitled to question that.

Nisbet and Doidge won’t be off the boil forever..

Doidge has a bit of physicality so hopefully he can be a bit of a nuisance in the Rangers box, and Nisbet has too much quality for his barren run to extend much further. Scored a fantastic header last time out at Ibrox so hopefully more of the same tomorrow.

Lundstram to elbow Doig in the face, punch the ball 30 yards, grab Nisbet by the bollocks then give him a wedgie. Ref to wave play on.

[sleeping giant]

2 quickfire goals in the first 10 minutes should settle the nerves.
Hope we get stuck in.

Hope! It's all i have left 🙈

[JamesHFC]

Ryan Jack is out and Aaron Ramsey isn’t ready to start according to wee Gio.

[ahibby]

Ryan Jack is out and Aaron Ramsey isn’t ready to start according to wee Gio.

Did they not play much better after Ryan Jack went off, i.e only up 1-0 until he was substituted? I would have preferred him to play.

[JohnMcM]

I find that very encouraging for us because, if you ignore their 4 goalkeepers, it only leaves them another 23 outfield players to choose from.:rolleyes:

[ancient hibee]

Jack went off a few minutes after the second goal was scored and it was already clear that the game was over. Before that he was one of the best players on the park. Hearts threw in the towel.

[Tommy75]

Why do we always talk of games v Rangers and Celtic as 'Feee hits'. It is an important league game and we should approach it in such a manner, not just write it off as a free hit and hope for the best.

we’ve won 4 league games in 4 months. hoping for the best is about the most I can muster.

[davhibby]

Ryan Jack when fit is their best player. It’s very good for us that he’s out.

[GreenCastle]

Celtic have spent around £20 million this season buying players - Lucky if we have spent anywhere near £1 million.

The financial difference makes the chance of an away win very slim.

It’s not healthy for the league playing teams x4 a season.

[Hibernian Verse]

Newell isn't going to make it according to SM. JDH & Campbell in midfield at Ibrox...this could be the worst £64 I've ever spent :greengrin

[danhibees1875]

We should just not show up. 0-3 saves our goal difference and we're better rested for the weekend. :dunno:

[660]

Have we sold out our tickets for this.

[eastterrace]

Glad your no the manager with your free hit mince. It really pisses me off with that saying as our players will have same mind set. No wonder our results are crap against rangers.

[hibee-boys]

The success of our transfer window recruitment can be measured by the fact that this combination is the best we can come up with. Bullied by Livingston and St Mirren, don’t hold out much hope for tonight. I’d rather see Cadden or Stevenson in there with Henderson or even perhaps Campbell playing at the point of a middle 3.

[Jim44]

I think we will approach this game with the importance you suggest. I think the reference to ‘free hit’ is not so much a capitulation from the start but a suggestion that a defeat is unlikely to be lost ground to the other ten also rans in the league.

[Pagan Hibernia]

our results against rangers (and Celtic) are pretty much what they should be given their resources compared to ours and the old firm referee bias. Beating them regularly will never be the norm while they enjoy such a privileged position, although obviously we’d all like to see our team showing balls at ibrox.

from 2014-18 The Rangers were a much more wounded animal off the pitch and therefore our results against them improved accordingly.

Agree with what your saying regarding resources but it’s the saying free hit that does my head in. We are just as well saying hearts are a free hit due to them spending more than us.

I don't hold out much hope but I'll be there supporting whoever steps on the pitch.

[James70]

Porto sure to be sent off just for going on the pitch seeing as Walsh is ref. Might be better leaving him out tonight. Save him for the weekend to give us a chance against the mighty Arbroath.

We also had a bit more belief running through the fans and squad. What about the fact that Celtic hadn't beaten us in the league for years at ER until earlier this season?

We should have a ****ing go tonight, look what happened when *****bag Neilson set up his team to contain them on Sunday? A goal down and not even in the match, went chasing then got royally humped. Doesn't always do you favours and generally results in a defeat.

[Coco Bryce]

Just hearing Porto has been sent off at Harthill.

[Logie Green]

Straight orange card by any chance?

no penalty too?

[hibsbollah]

JDH played very well in the derby as did Campbell, who came in and only a clearance off the line prevented the winner. Need to be a bit more bullish here and go and seize the hun ***** by the scruff of the neck.

[JimBHibees]

Scary thing is it is probably true. :greengrin

Are they? I'd imagine that over the last 10 years our results against Rangers are the best they've been in half a century.

Can't see beyond a painful defeat tonight though.

I’d say we’ve got the best record against the huns of any team in Scotland apart from Celtic, since their resurrection.

[Hibernian Verse]

Celtic have a very poor recent record against Rangers. That was their first win in over 2 years I believe.

I didn’t watch the Jambos but we have learned in recent seasons that sitting back and trying to contain them doesn’t work.

Have a go and give them something to think about. We need the energy of the derby match plus a bit of quality from our forwards.

our performance there in October while we still had 11 men was impeccable.

[lord bunberry]

Is the away car park closed during the game? I’ve never parked in it before but I seem to remember folk saying you couldn’t get your car out if you left early. Obviously I’m hoping to stay to the end ,but if we’re getting a doing I might as well head home early as the bairn has school in the morning.

If you're bursting for a Colin Nish don't relieve yourself in it. A harsh lesson I once learned.

The earliest I've left Ibrox was about 10 minutes to go when they beat us 6-1 a couple of years ago and the stewards and police weren't letting anyone leave.

Not sure what the situation is if you're talking about potentially leaving at half time or anything like that though.
