[0762]

Another 'testy fixture' coming up at Ibronx tomorrow and I am a wee bit concerned re the forced change to our defence. Darren Mac definitely our best defender and very unfortunate to lose him for this match! But Hibs will just have to adjust and 'get on with it'. Slivka also injured and I wonder if Scotty Allan will be in the starting line up although I 'd rather opt for an 'element of physicality' in our midfield and maybe use him later on as an 'impact sub'. It will also be interesting to see how Kamberi fares v the Gers' defence. We can definitely beat this Rangers team but we must beware of a goal threat from Jason - the usual coincidental goal in his 1st game v Hibs - try to focus and avoid this scenario at all cost! And their £8M overrated striker (Daily Record 'spin' via pish uttered by Traynor!!???) Morelos will require to be 'well policed' in order to nullify his 'goal threat'. We must 'grab this match with conviction' and that must be done in our midfield area and see how the game unfolds - hopefully in our favour.
