Rangers v Aberdeen

[swaddon]

The new boss will be aiming to extend his unbeaten start as Aberdeen manager when Robbo's Rockin' Red & White Roadshow pulls up at Ibrox on Saturday 21st March at the ungodly hour of 5:45 pm.

I fancy us to derail their title ambitions by beating them 2-1, Nisbet and Lazetic to score.

Even prior to the Falkirk game, I had a random bout of optimism for the hun game. Not sure why and I know they’re iffy, but we’re still shite. Will be interesting to see what a week with the team does for confidence and performances. Would be nice to twist the knife in the huns season, it’s all we’ve really got to play for (apart from survival obviously).

With our 8 point gap from safety diminishing we really could do with getting something from this game. After watching yesterdays efforts we don't have the players to lay a glove on them. Away form dictates Aberdeen nil so best case scenario is a clean sheet. No laughing at the back.

Sorry, but we can write this one off I’m afraid.

No matter what Robinson does, that lot don’t have the cohones to go get something there.

That central defence will let us down for a start…

I'm feeling a lot better about this than I did a week ago.  Keep it tight for the first 20 minutes and the crowd wil start getting on their back, they don't look to be good with pressure at the moment so it would be all to play for.

2 or 3 nil to the zombies, and we move on, with Kilmarnock and probably St Mirren now only three points behind us as they will probably both pick up three points, then it really will be game on and squeaky bum time.

I've written this game off too, so if we do get anything, it is a bonus.

They raise their game against us too and they will be well up for putting us further in the shit. 

The important thing is to keep the scoreline respectable. If we have a shitshow, it could knock what little confidence is left, out of the players. 

I really hope I am wrong. 

Falkirk and Livi wins at the weekend would be a nice wee bonus too.

Falkirk and Livi wins at the weekend would be superb mate, but sadly I can see the wheels on our bus really starting to shoogle about as Kili and St Mirren both win (we get humped) and then the gap is three points with two games before the split 
And obviously  post split we are playing the teams in same boat as ourselves fighting for survival, and from what I have seen then I don't hold out much hope for any of our lot being up for it and showing that fight and grit that it is going to need to avoid the playoff spot.

Sadly we don't have the option to put on a starting 11 with them all having the same character and desire as Nisbet does 

Worrying times and certainly squeaky bum time ahead if scores all fall against us

It’s in our favour that there are a couple of sides below us. Chances of both chasing us down are less. St Mirren look to have less fight in them and Killie have def found some spirit at home but not sure they’ll go on any kind of run. Suspect if we can pick up a result in Paisley we’ll probably be ok. Reckon we’ll start to build some solidity at Pittodrie too so Hibs might have little to play for in the last game before split. Have to target that. 
As others have said, Ibrox is probably a write off. Best we can hope for is that SR gets a spirit instilled in them that we don’t lose, back 5 and midfield 3 will be tough to break down and if they are throwing themselves at a win late on maybe we sneak in behind. It’s not impossible, don’t concede early and they might get jittery.
