Rangers v Hibs

[Diclonius]

In accordance with the new rules, I'm starting this thread around the hour before mark (though I generally have done before) - remember, only game-related news on this thread from now on.

Team news shortly, I imagine.

Slivka too.

Not sure what he needs to do to start a game.

Probably get back to full fitness. The only 90 he's played was against Elgin City with the Colts.

Maybe start by controlling the midfield in games

Harsh on Flo. Midfield is too light imo. Nonetheless c'mon the Hibees!

Vela and we should keep good pi session. Would rather have Ivanka than Newall. Kamberi over Doidge as can run channels and hold ball up better. Good on the break too. Contributes in defending too.

Just a reminder guys please try and keep comments on this thread related to the match.

We don't want to spend time deleting posts.

We want to see the game too

[Glory Lurker]

Surprised at Kamberi and Jackson being benched.

[SRHibs]

Would've like to have seen Slivka starting. He loves a Hun skelping. I have a feeling we are going to get a result today.

[The Spaceman]

Not sure about that team. Would be playing Slivka for Newell today - Slivka is usually good against them and we can’t have Newell hiding which I fear he might. Fingers crossed! Waiting in the car park to go in. GGTTH.

[SteveHFC]

Can’t see us getting anything with that line up.

[Pretty Boy]

Very surprised to see Kamberi dropped. Doidge done OK when he came on (minus the missed chances) but both seem like they need to be part of a 2.

[CloudSquall]

Doige is a surprise, huge game for him.

[davhibby]

Mcgregor for Jackson is disappointing. I can see why he’s starting Doidge though

[hibee_girl]

Fully expected the McGregor for Jackson change but the Kamberi one is a surprise

[JohnMcM]

Is that going to be a 442 line-up?

451/433

[Northernhibee]

I like it. Newell can cross a ball from deep which may be advantageous. Doidge will be vital at set plays at both ends of the field.

[Weegreenman]

That midfield looks great if we thought we’d have a lot of possession. However I don’t see that being the case and I know Mallen & Allen’s strong point isn’t man marking or winning the ball back when out of possession.

McGregor & Hanlon

Newell needs to be on his game today. Provide a good out for us and try to build something from nothing.

[Brightside]

As we are sticking with a back 4 there wasn't much else we could do. 433 / 451. A big day for Vela in that enforcer role in the middle. If he doesn't doe his job our CBs will be very exposed as Allan /Mallan won't do enough defensively.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Is Kamberi perhaps carrying a knock?

[I'm Spartacus]

there you go. FFS.

Think its 4-5-1 think he will change to 3-5-2 in the 2nd half depending on how the game goes so if it goes to plan I'd expect to see Flo & Slivka on at some point

[Hibees1973]

I said in an earlier post that Heckingbottom must use as many players we have that have experience of playing at Ibrox.

To have Gray and Kamberi on the bench is a big mistake. If Gray is on the bench he must be fit to play.
Also Kamberi would not have missed those sitters Doidge missed last week. Don’t you play those that are in the best form?

I’m not at Ibrox but hope it is hosing it down to make the game a bit of a lottery.

Sorry but this looks like a Hibs defeat today.
