It's clear a lot of us want Danny Rohl to go 2 up top against them on sunday, myself included ? But here's my question, if Ryan Naderi isn't fit enough to start beside Chermiti, do the supporters who want us to play the 2 up top still think we should and play Chermiti and Miovski together i most certainly do ?I honestly think Miovski would perform much better with a striking partner and for me is a more natural finisher ? Miovski for me has struggled at Rangers in a lot of games because it's different for him against the way most opposition teams play against us in Scotland where there's hardly any space as opposed to the space he got the way teams played against Aberdeen when he was superb for them ?I still rate bojan Miovski as a good striker and probably the most natural finisher we currently have at Ibrox ? Thoughts on this fellow bears ?

I don't want two up top. I want a 4-3-3, need a flat midfield 3 imo.
27 Feb 2026 21:33:22
Don't agree, Storm. We need to go at them from the off. As for me, their defence is there for the taking, and let's play 2 up top and give them something to think about. ? ??
27 Feb 2026 21:53:10
I agree, Storm. Go with Dio, Nico & Chukwuani and dominate the midfield. Do that and we win the game.
27 Feb 2026 22:08:13
Why not go:
Dio. Chuck. Raskin
Moore
Naderi. Chermiti
True, there's not a massive amount of width here, but we could push Rommens and Tav up if we are dominating the midfield. Dio and Raskin can support in the attack, with Chermiti and Moore pulling wide if they need to.
It's a central battering ram. Get the balls into the box. ?
27 Feb 2026 22:12:21
And yes, Walter, I still rate Miovski, but more as a squad player. He was unlucky v Livi. I think Naderi is more physical and could wear down their poor defence.
27 Feb 2026 22:23:54
Formations don't really matter. Look at most average position maps and see if the starting positions are the same. I think we need to make sure we are solid across the park, and then be inventive in attack when we have won that battle.
27 Feb 2026 23:02:55
I agree, Storm.
I'd be going.
Sterling, Souttar, Manny, Rommens.
Dio, Raskin, Chucky.
Skov, Naderi, Moore.
27 Feb 2026 23:28:33
I'd start Chermiti and Naderi. Both big lads would give Celtic defenders a nightmare. Best form of defence is attack. ??
28 Feb 2026 01:16:25
Can play three midfielders, even four in a 4-2-2-2. I'd play Dio beside Moore, with Raskin and Chucky behind, high back line, compressed four in the middle, etc. It's all down to players doing their job in and out of possession.
28 Feb 2026 01:19:13
Could always start Chermiti wide left to pin back the right fullback as he's a major threat for them.
28 Feb 2026 06:54:20
Madness not starting a big game player, Chermiti starts for me all day long.
28 Feb 2026 07:14:33
Maybe Stevie thinks he's bang average. ?? Sorry bud, couldn't help it. ? I'd go with him n Naderi, tbh. ?
28 Feb 2026 07:23:29
Proven he does it in big games, Fork. Madness not playing him, mate, but we all know he starts in Rohl's team.
28 Feb 2026 07:26:32
Fork, but if he only uses one center forward that will be Chermiti, mate.
28 Feb 2026 07:37:59
High intensity, and don't let them settle on the ball from minute 1, and no tippy tappy across our back four - no matter what team starts. ?
28 Feb 2026 07:59:44
For sure, O Neil will have them up for this. Danny does not want to be drawn into mind games. We win.
It's because they had a midweek game, some poor ref mistakes, injuries. All we can do is let's go. We can do this.
28 Feb 2026 08:04:24
These games are won and lost in midfield. Chuk, Dio, and Nico will control it for us. Let Moore, Skov, and Chermiti do the damage up top.
28 Feb 2026 09:39:37
Stevie, I hope you don't mean Ralston as that fb. ?
28 Feb 2026 09:42:17
I agree with Stormtrooper, we need to win the midfield first.
28 Feb 2026 09:47:53
I would prefer if we go with Sterling at right back, if he is fit enough, and the fact that he's been training might give him the nod. There will be times when we are under pressure defensively, and he is more aggressive and quicker to deal with it.
I'm not saying he's a world beater, but he gives us better stability there.
We won't concede silly goals and will be secure at the back, which we haven't been recently.
Do this, and I'm confident we will score at the other end and win the game.
28 Feb 2026 10:53:42
I'd be happy with any team that doesn't have Tav, Gassama and Aasgaard started. I'd also like Djiga in for Souttar and Dio in for Raskin, but I know that's not going to happen.
28 Feb 2026 11:14:27
Bunster, can we not win the midfield battle with still 2 up front? ? Absolutely, of course we can, and look what we did to Hearts playing the 2 up top. There's nobody telling me Hearts haven't got a better defence than Celtic will have against us the morra.
? Let's get out there, take the game to them from the off, and lay down a marker. ???
28 Feb 2026 12:00:50
Big game player? He has played one good half against Celtic, scored 2, and played well against Hearts. Where is the big game crap coming from? Where was he in the big games in Europe?
28 Feb 2026 12:55:02
Same place as all the others who played; on the pitch, not doing much from memory. No-one having a go at the darlings of the support for being trash then, are they? So do we not play anyone for not performing in those big games?
He has scored goals vs them last time out, so showed he can handle that occasion.
Naderi untried and Miovski hasn't started firing this season, so he is at least in the mix to start, surely.
28 Feb 2026 13:20:35
The only reason to play two up front is if Naderi is fit, because his movement and work rate, when dropping a wee bit deeper, create space and danger. If he's not fit, we certainly don't play Miovski in that role, as he can't do it. I suspect we will revert to 4-3-3 if that's the case, giving a start to Diomande.
28 Feb 2026 13:25:29
I'm thinking if Rohl only goes with one, it will be Chermiti.
He scored a treble against the team at the top of the league in his last game against them, and scored a double against the team in third place the last time he played them, which shows he is a big player in these games.
28 Feb 2026 14:25:24
My star, you're correct, imo. ? There's no doubt Danny Rohl will start Chermiti tomorrow, whether he plays up top himself or with a striker partner. ?
