Charmiti can't be picked again; he's just a really poor all-round player.
15 Feb 2026 09:41:10
Chermiti isn't poor at all, not even close to poor. Yes, his finishing needs to improve, but everything else is there. We need to match up physically with Hearts in both boxes. The width will come from the full backs. It also allows us to bring on Moore, Gassama, Antman if the game opens up.
15 Feb 2026 09:45:53
Will we go with 2 up front?
15 Feb 2026 09:49:07
Butland.
Rommens (if fit to start) / Meghoma.
Fernandez (if fit to start) / Djiga.
Souttar (if fit to start) / Sterling (if fit to start).
Tavernier.
Bajrami.
Chukwuani.
Raskin.
Antman (if fit to start) / Moore.
Naderi (if fit to start) / Miovski.
Skov Olsen (if fit to start) / Gassama.

Chermiti?!. ??

Chermiti is never available in the box to even get a shot away. Yes, he's poor. Naderi must start.
15 Feb 2026 10:36:24
Bajrami is a bit of a curveball there, EHL?
Dio for me, otherwise that's my preferred team too.
15 Feb 2026 10:36:25
I think we should be playing two up top; we've got to stop showing teams too much respect. Hearts should be worried coming to Ibrox.
15 Feb 2026 11:11:18
So, in a must-win match we leave 3 of our best attackers on the bench? Suicide to do that. We've no midweek games for a while, so get our best team on the pitch.
15 Feb 2026 11:25:38
Bajrami is a good shout. He's good at nullifying the defence playing into the midfield.
15 Feb 2026 11:47:21
Will, Hearts will probably only have 2 in the middle of the park, and they'll look to turn it into a battle for the second ball - which they're very good at.
I think playing Dio plays into their hands, and will help them keep it scrappy - plus he'll be a target for Hearts players to get booked and potentially sent off.
I think Bajrami would 'cheat' a bit and find some space, giving them something different to think about. Plus he's easily our most creative and imaginative player around the edge of the box, which is where Hearts will try and make us play. Lol, he'll offer absolutely nothing defensively though, which is probably why I'm not a head coach.

4 goals so far.
15 Feb 2026 13:00:56
Are you still at Hearts, Ehl?
15 Feb 2026 13:08:58
Interesting insight, Ehl. I am a fan of Bajrami and think he's been unlucky at various points in his career with us, and has not been played in his best position. He looked like he was going to come on in a game before the most recent injury.
15 Feb 2026 13:56:01
Chermiti would need to improve dramatically to be even classed as poor.
15 Feb 2026 14:57:41
Will, Bajrami is another not suited to the Scottish game.
