No chance of it happening but I'd like to see Tav moved into the midfield 3 for Sunday with Holt and Halliday and bring Hodson in at right back. Hodson gets the cup games and Tav would add more energy to the midfield as well as provide good protection when they attack down that side. Bring Windass in as one of the front three with Miller and McKay IMO, despite the dislike for him on here recently I think he is always likely to create something. With that team we could easily match their high tempo and stifle them in midfield and take control of the game.

We will need to change formation against Celtic. 3 in midfield gives them way too much space, unfortunately Warburton won't change the formation, so we are stuck with our 4-3-3, Holt, Halliday and Windass in midfield, Gilks in goal, back 4 of Tav, Kiernan, Hill and Wallace (I believe Wilson is out for the game? ) upfront should be Miller, Mckay and Waghorn, if waghorn doesn't perform replace him with MOH, he is direct and will cause Tierney trouble all day long.

why play a right back in midfield?

3.) 21 Oct 2016 16:12:54
I agree I think should go 4-2-3-1 but he won't do it. 4-4-2 would give them more space as with 3 in midfield they're all central 4-4-2 would only leave 2 in there. As for moving Tav into midfield many players have successfully made that transition. Ricksen done it. Even Bale started out as a left back. I think Tav could do a job in there.

Cee I'm amazed that you believe Tav is a right back. He may play there but his defensive positioning is woeful and his 'attempts' at tracking back from his forays forward are a joke. Also Ricksen was a RB then got moved into midfield and was joint player of the year with Hartson. So maybe not such a crazy idea.

I honestly don't know what cee is watching at times as regards glasgow rangers. This guy doesn't rate kenny miller for god's sake. Even at 37 years old, most of us rangers fans have the same belief that miller is still the best striker at ibrox!

Yeah think tav will eventually move into a midfield role at somepoint in his career but won't be sunday! If fully fit go for rossiter alongside halliday and holt we need to win that battle so we need proper midfielders in ther holt and rossiter are good on the ball and halliday likes a battle.

he's an attacking right back nothing else he's not Fernando ricksen.

8.) 22 Oct 2016 07:07:09
Tav for me is a better player than Ricksen ever was if i'm being honest. Its absolutley heartbreaking what's happening to Fernando and my heart breaks for his family but because he's ill i'm not going to harp on about him being a great player as i don't think he was. I await the backlash.

9.) 22 Oct 2016 08:00:53
well I thought ricksen was a great player at a time when the overall level of our squad and Scottish football was much higher.

10.) 22 Oct 2016 08:03:31
tav isn't exactly Gareth bale is he?

11.) 22 Oct 2016 08:56:56
jeeeeezus. The opinions in this thread just made me spit my Buckie all over my cornflakes. Wiiiiit? Tav is better than Ricksen? You buzzing glue mate? Ooooft. Also sick of seeing blind favouritism for McKay. He won't start, which is a good thing. Don't think Waghorn will either, which is a good thing. These lads have had their chance and done absolutely zero for the best part of the season. We've got talent on the bench who are desperate for a chance like McKay and Waghorn have just had. It's time for them to step and show us what they've got. They need a run in the team. Or would you have them rot away into obscurity?

12.) 22 Oct 2016 10:26:07
Well imo tavernier is definitely technically a better player than Ricksen was. Ricksen was awful at RB and he was average in midfield. everything abt Tav is better, better going forward, more of a goal threat, makes more assists, granted defencefly he's not great but neither was Fernando. everyone remembers petta the donkey giving him the runaround and getting whipped off after 20 mins.

13.) 22 Oct 2016 11:46:18
Naw not for me I'm afraid. Tav still has a lot to prove. Fernando was class. You're allowed to have one or two off games you know. Even Brain Laudrup had a few.

14.) 22 Oct 2016 12:02:16
We'll agree to disagree Monty👍.

15.) 22 Oct 2016 23:22:53
defensively, Tavernier is no worse than Wallace who is equally suspect defensively. What is more, Wallace is not a leader and that is a major problem since we don't have a proper captain and probably haven't had one for many years!

16.) 23 Oct 2016 07:26:02
Got to agree TOMUSA, i'm not a massive fan of Halliday but i think its so important to have him in the team especially on a day like today were we nd abit of leadership and dig. being a bluenose gives him an extra edge in a game like this.

Macheda been released this afternoon. Maybe one worth looking in to. Was good when he first came through with Man U and probably not done enough to demand ridiculous wages. Agree main priority should be centre backs but if we could get this one as a quick bit of business it wouldn't be bad imo.
