SteelmaninOZ Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Back to Ibrox I think it will be an away win. Because Motherwell fans always look on the bright side of life…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 No free hit this week, win and we stay in the hunt for 4th lose and it could potentially be 9th so no pressure. We got a point the last time we were there so why not 3 this time, personally I can't see it happening but here's hoping, coyw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Most important thing is we keep up a consistent level of performance to give us momentum into March. A point would be good, three would be excellent, none would be likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The likelihood is that we’ll lose here, but strangely I feel more optimistic facing them at Ibrox than I would if this was at Fir Park. In our last three visits to Ibrox we have lost 2-1 & 3-1 having led both times then drew 1-1 with them in September with their goal being offside. Hopefully with them coming off of a European game on Thursday night they’ll be leg weary and if we can avoid conceding early on their crowd will get on their backs. Realistically 0-1 Optimistically 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Depending on our injuries, but I would guess it to be the same team as last Saturday, although I would be tempted to play Lamie in place of Solholm? Regardless of team I am not too optimistic but there again we never thought we would manage a draw last time at Ibrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_said Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I reckon this will be the team on Sunday Kelly O Donnell Mugabe Sondre Ojala Lamie Mcginley Carroll Donnelly Slattery Woolery We might just manage a nil nil draw.

If we're 1 up with 25 mins to go, I could imagine that being the eleven that finishes the game. On the downside, all this 'Rangers were denied two penalties' chat will mean they'll probably get at least one against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Rangers easily dispatched Hearts and Hibs at Ibrox recently, Dundee United defended well against them on Sunday with the second half in particular being one way traffic. Frustratingly its seldom they slip up twice domestically these days to teams out with Celtic, I'm hoping their European tie goes the full distance on Thursday night in hope that they might be knackered come Sunday. I would be delighted if we can get anything from this game, we done well enough at Ibrox earlier in the season. Has anything been mentioned about Van Veen's injury? Also Solholm and Efford were struggling a bit at the weekend before being taken off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2plus8 Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Personally I’d like to see Slattery back in the team. I think if we had Woolery / Slatts / O’Hara & Goss in the midfield we’d have a lot of energy. But I can’t see a team without Donnelly being named.

MJC Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 On a side note, it’ll be twenty-five years this May since we last won a league match at Ibrox. Have we ever had such a barren run at any other away ground we’ve visited regularly? For comparison in that same period we have won four times at Celtic Park in League fixtures. That’s one of the many reasons why winning there in the playoff 1st leg was so incredible, because we won what was the biggest game there of the lot since that day in May 97.

On another day Rangers would have stuck 6 past Utd. 4-0 for Rangers without them breaking sweat. OJala and Solholm are slower than a week in jail. Rangers have far too much pace for us.

TBF that's generally always the case when the Old Firm come calling, all the other clubs generally need a degree of luck to get over the line. I thought United were well worthy of the 1-0 HT lead on Sunday but as you say it was one way traffic in the second half and they were fortunate with the penalty incidents, its not like Mr Madden to miss them considering what he has given against us in recent times. Obviously it would be no surprise to come away empty handed as per, they're however playing three fixtures in the space of 6 days so you'll imagine they will rotate a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 O'Hara is showing that you need a big engine to play that role in the team and Slattery at the moment doesn't have the legs to do it. He was very good in the holding role at Easter Road and i'd like to see him there again as he offers more than Donnelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just see if he offers more consistency against harder working midfields than Aberdeen. Slattery is the pivot for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this match we have a great run of fixtures for this stage in the season. If you'd handpicked the fixtures they couldn't be any better. Of course we have to get points out of them but they are there to be won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye we got 11 points from those fixtures in the first cycle. 7 from the tougher reversed second cycle. 7-11 points from the 5 games will put us in the hunt for 4th place and Europe at the split.
