Read this article that both Nisbet and Mykola should be back for the Livingston game . Youan's caused teams a lot of trouble playing more central though if Nisbet's back surely he moves out wide left and who plays on the right if we use 3 up front and if we go with two striker's would Nisbet and Youan be our two best striker's at the minute ? Even without Boyle , Mckirdy and Mcgeady we seem to have good options up front with Youan , Nisbet, Mykola and Hoppe.

We only play with one CF. Going to be tricky fitting in 99 and Niz. Youan still fits in wide left. Right side is up for grabs but could see Cadden playing higher with CJ playing RB.

Both should be on the bench. First game back (particularly for Myko) after an extended absence on the artificial pitch is not a good idea. Give them 15 mins at the end when we are 2-0 up and then they are options for the Rangers game.

I'd normally agree with that though if Nisbet's fit imo he's got to play , he's our joint top scorer and the best striker we have . Livingston games massive , if we could win it we go 5 points clear of them .

Saturday is massive. Start your strongest team available. Nosbet should be fine. He was 50/50 for Killie so you’d like to think with another two weeks he should be good

Not impossible that can change once LJ has two strikers he likes available and fit?

Its not....but who drops to fit that in. 4231 appears to be his best system at the moment.

If Nizzy is fit he has to play central. He’s our best goal scorer.

I don't think he can play wide left or right, needs to be through the middle.

I thought he had played a couple of times on the right side for us though I could be wrong on that . Mykola played a few times on the left before coming to us. Really unfortunate this year not to see Youan, Nisbet ,Boyle or Mcgeady, Nisbet , Boyle play together. What a good frontline either would be .

Hoppe looks class to me as well. I'd play him at left wing and leave Youan where he is for the moment. Nisbet and Myk off the bench.
