If Alex McLeish takes the reigns at Ibrox I expect his methods to help sure up the midfield as well as the defence. I remember the night we made the last 16 of the CL and big Bob Malcolm was used in a defensive midfield role against Inter Milan where he excelled.
Does anyone else think he may deploy such tactics as he must have identified Halliday as being Rangers weakness after watching the first 5 minutes of Sunday's win over Morton.
Could Wilson be used here or even the new boy Bates? None of our current crop can pass a ball like Boab right enough even although he was a bomb scare at times, but we need an alternative in this area of the park.

Wilson is too immobile to play there unless we play a vastly different system

Haha Boab Baresi. Remember the game well and bomb scare doesn't even begin to cover it!

The biggest difference big eck will make is NO holding midfielder! It will be 442.

I can't see where we are going to find the money for frank de boer. Not only that where are we gonny get cash for transfer kitty for a manager like him. Also can't see him working with someone above him as dof.

McLeish played 4-3-3 then. His team was Def: Wattereaus, Ricksen, Andrews, Kyrgiakos, Murray. Mid: Malcolm, Feeguson, Namouchi. Str: Burke, Buffel, Lovenkrands.

De Boer has always had a DoF to work with. It was Marc Overmars at Ajax. Continental managers have worked this way for many years and are quite comfortable with it, so why can't you see it happening?
