Stubbs I am sure will play it tight, let Rangers have possession in their own half and pack the midfield to press them once they come forward, hoping to catch them on the break. Rangers on the other hand being the home team will need to find a way to penetrate two banks of players if they want to win this.
It's not parking the bus to play like this, you see it all the time now with away teams and it works. Parking the bus is about playing essentially 9 defenders, one attacker to hoof it up to and a keeper. Setting up to press when not in possession and trying to catch on the break is how you gain points away from home against good teams.
Leicester City St Charles Owl? Pretty close to open, cavalier football and if a manager has the dynamic players to get close to this style of football, why not!!
