Hi
Even though Rangers are worst off player wise than we played them last week, I still feel we will/should still go through, full Ibrox should tip the ballance in our favour.
I am looking for Shankland to show a lot more than he has done up till now, yes he has had little service but, I am still not sure about him!
I still think we have the right manager, but he needs time to get the gaps filled.
We need a fast start to get the fans on their back, we really need this.

I think we'll go through.

It should, unless, of course, they nullify us until half time, and suddenly the crowd becomes our enemy rather than our 12th man.

Playing at Ibrox is only an advantage if we are winning or playing well. If we struggle against this team, the Ibrox atmosphere will quickly become toxic again, with the players getting booed off the pitch again, and it could work against us.
McInnes really needs to get a result tonight. A goal from open play would be nice as well. I don't expect us to play good football.

Rohl, I am concerned we can't keep a clean sheet.

Mind Lawrence scoring 4 times against us last season from 4 matches.
He's good enough, as well as a terrific pro.

RWC don't think there is any fan that would give a monkeys about good football as long as we win, and, like you say, get a goal from open play.
I'd even be all for just humping it up front as fast as possible and hitting direct balls into the box as long as we score.

However, John is right, keeping a clean sheet is a massive problem.

Got to agree with John.
We knew at the end of last season, though, that we needed an almost whole new defence.
Hate being negative, but just can't understand why this wasn't addressed as a priority.

I'm fearing the worst tonight.

Jam hut, we all knew we needed defenders. We conceded 75 goals last season.

Totally agree as said, John.
