OK, away from the off-field bollocks, there's another three points to be won here against a team struggling for form (or possibly struggling to understand the concept of defending in numbers against Hearts
). With the Edinburgh Derby taking place on Sunday, could there be an opportunity to close the gap a wee bit?
Team Selection:
Mohsni will be serving the last of his three-match suspension, so I'd expect McCulloch/MacGregor to continue in defence, with the rest of the team reverting to the normal format - Miller, Boyd - Black, Law, MacLeod, Aird etc.
Team Tactics:
As mentioned, we'll no doubt be up against a packed defence again, so it'll be vital to get the ball on the deck and try to play to Miller and Boyd's feet rather than hoofing long balls from the back. It'll also be nice to play on a proper grass surface away from home for a change. That should enable us (or Ian Black, more to the point) to control our sometimes wayward passing to a degree.
One for the Conspiracy Theorists:
As Dumbarton's manager is former 'Ger and Hibee Ian Murray, I fully expect Rangers to win comfortably.
