Could go a number of ways, back three with width from hickey and Robertson, but then doak is benched. Back 4 and doak plays. Don’t know if we are good enough to go 4-4-2, Adams and dykes up top with doak mctom Ferguson and mcginn in midfield. I’d also consider 3-5-2 with doak and dykes up top. we’re never ideal I feel as we are always playing with center mids out of position. think Clarke isn’t brave enough, 4 at the back, Christie into midfield, and it’s Adams up top.

Dont know what to expect tomorrow. Do we pull of a home Spain/denmark performance, or do we match the last time Greece spanked us at home? Must win game, hope we are on it! 2-1 us, karlsson scoring both. Only a matter of time before he becomes Scottish and makes the squad!

Is lobban purely a right back or does he play multiple positions?

I hear you, I suppose I jumped to the same conclusion that people believed bojan would never sign for them. I think few would be scared away. Those who consider it a step down would pass, I don’t see people leaving good prem jobs for example, those who believe they are a hot commodity and believe they deserve something better will pass (extreme but the likes of a zidane, prob graham potter), and those who have a really good thing going at a solid club will pass (possibly Mcinnes). As much as it pains me to say it, it’s a top job. Regular finals in Scotland expected, battles with your rivals for a title, old firm games, European football, and they have done well in Europe in recent years. They are a world known club with a very large fan base, hard to ignore them as much as I wish everyone would. One of the reasons I was surprised they took Martin as I felt they could and should have done better. sorry, apologies to everyone for saying anything that may sound complimentary. I despise rangers more than most.

I don’t buy that though. That’s like saying bojan wouldn’t go there because of our hatred for them and him understanding that, and it being a shit show of a club at present. It’s a big job and very appealing, and every manager will believe they can make it work and bring success. if the manager think it’s a bigger and better job they’d go. Mcinnes is interesting as he appears to have a really good thing at hearts, much like he did at us when they approached him. Would he reject them again, knowing its unlikely they’d ever come to him a third time in the future.

Really intrigued to see what the Huns do. Great job for a manager but horrible fan base and possibly unrealistic expectations. Plus really don’t know what their finances are like at the moment. They seem to be a bit of a mess of a club, forking out a small fortune too for ex managers. think Gerard knocked them back before they took Martin, why would he go back now? I also think the Boyd’s and those Huns in the media want an experienced guy with a track record, plus knows what rangers and the expectations are like, is Sean Dyche the guy? I’m not so sure he knows enough about Scottish football. Danny Rohl is young with limited experience, can’t see him being the guy, while Kevin muscat has experience but not in a league/environment like this. I do think Mcinnes makes sense if they are humble enough to accept that. Would also love to see hearts take that hit. Not so sure Mcinnes would go given everything seems to be going right for him and hearts right now.

Ha, how many of us have been wondering over the last 24 hrs if we can sign him and keep him for longer?!

Definitely. I feel like a 52 yr old child on days like this. Buzzing from yesterday, plus cannot wait until the next game. St mirren hibs and killie, all very winnable, but could go the other way too. We need a winning run and very quickly we’d move up the table. the icing on the cake as well as a winning run is the Huns taking mcinnes. Would like to see the hearts reaction, plus I do not think rangers have a great squad, a new manager doesn’t immediately fix things.

Given how hearts are doing right now, I’m sure he’d be of interest. How many times can he be overlooked? He’s probably the type of manager they need, knows the league, the club, the fans etc. I thinker he’s a limited manager so would be happy for him to go there, plus I’d love it to happen to hearts. saying all this, gerrard is available and favorite I think?? rangers much better paying ex managers and staff a fair chunk right now.

Quite an interesting character is Lutz Pfannenstiel. Apparently jailed for 100 days for match fixing (was cleared), once stole a penguin and kept it in his bathtub, and recently was working with espn commentating alongside our own Derek Rae.

Gyamfi is certainly an interesting one. Had a good game today, effective in defense/attack in a Mackenzie way. He got up the pitch, won a good few tackles/50-50s today, plus unlike jack he does have skill and a little swagger. At the same time, he doesn’t look the fittest and I thought he struggled the last 10 mins or so. I’m not a fan of using all 5 subs, I’d always keep on in case an injury occurs. only disappointing thing for me today was Milanovic. He rarely attacks, and when he does it’s going inside where there is rarely space. Much like Jensen tends to go sideways and backwards. Compare him to topi for example, who is very direct and aggressive when he came on, linked with lazetic, and nearly scored. I expect the same from milanovic.

Next 3 league games at st mirren, home to hibs, at killie. Tough run but all winnable, great confidence builder today as we go into the international break. thought Armstrong played very well today. Good experienced head who linked well in midfield, very creative and nice interchange on gyamfi’s goal.

Job done. Bit sloppy second half but no complaints. Win, goals, and a few of them. plenty of good performances but, while not our best player today, and has been mentioned, jack Milne is real quality.

To be fair, Jensen making runs forward now. You can see though with milanovic it’s back to being inverted with him, I’d rather he and topi switch to give us the width. Although gyamfi has done well wide.

Wasn’t bad. Should have scored but I truly feel in lazetic we have a player of much better quality.

4. Super goal from karlsson. Nice touches from lazetic too.

Bit of a flat second half unfortunately.

Don’t know what has happened to Jensen but he makes so few devlin runs down the line.

Red tinted specs but we look like we could score with every attack.

This is the good thing about rotating. People get a taste and want to play more. Because we have depth it’s really good competition for places.

We’re so lively going forward. Plenty of chances. Really hope we don’t slow the play down and look to smash them.

Dare I say it, fresh team rampant. Good call switching players by Jimmy??

4 but offside! Jimmy out.

Not meaning to be greedy but 9 would be good. Need to improve the goal difference.

3-0 gyamfi. Fucking yes! we are rampant. Could give them a real doing. armstrong playing very well in midfield.
