***CentreLine*** · 23-08-2015 10:27 AM

So it looks like nobody wants to start the Match-day Thread for today's game, is there any team news yet?

**stevie-bee** · 23-08-2015 10:38 AM

Sevco team
@SkySportsNewsHQ: Rangers XI to play Hibernian: Foderingham; Tavernier, Kiernan, Wilson, Wallace; Holt, Halliday, Law; McKay, Waghorn, Miller. #SSNHQ

**Pretty Boy** · 23-08-2015 10:38 AM

That goalkeeper and central defence is there to be got at.

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 23-08-2015 10:40 AM

Stop Tavernier and Wallace running riot aswell stopping Law playing. then we have a chance.

**Waxy** · 23-08-2015 10:40 AM

Defeat is not an option.

Still don't think cummings is strong enough to be up top on his own

**stevie-bee** · 23-08-2015 10:43 AM

Two wide men playing Boyle / Carmichael

Only surprise for me is Carmichael instead of bartley. Pleased with formation and Cummings up top.

Strange he played with Bartley last week against Morton but drops him this week against rangers when we could probably do with a sitting/hard hitting midfielder

Maybe worried we'd sit too deep and invite them onto us. Sounds like Stubbs wants us on the front foot.

Goalkeeper looks dodgy with pass backs.
I predict we will score from one hopefully more of his mistakes today

Yeah I'm of the opinion that this is the only game we require Bartley. In saying that I think fyvie can also do that job but is better on the ball

Will need to see how this pans out , Carmichael nearly sold us goal last week so needs to show today he can handle pressure big opportunity for him and Stibbs clearly thinks he can do a job

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 23-08-2015 10:51 AM

Is Allan playing for Sevco?

Close them down as high up the pitch as we can

Defo. He is one of their own after all.

***Sylar*** · 23-08-2015 10:54 AM

I have a bad feeling about today...hope I'm wrong.

***lucky*** · 23-08-2015 10:55 AM

Never thought he'd go with two wingers. Clearly believes the threat comes from Rangers full backs. Strong bench by our standards.

No but he'll be watching in secret with his rangers gear on.

That's what I think too FWIW. Hibs have to stop Wallace and Tavernier and avoid diving in and giving away unnecessary free kicks around the box.

The Huns will be screaming loudly for everything, as per usual. Hope the referee is strong, fair, impartial and consistent. That goes for both his assistants too. Is that too much to hope for?
