Yeah, it's an odd feeling, not having the usual dread going into a game like this. As you say, they'll almost certainly have too much for us, but I fancy our chances of making a game of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 As long as we don't get a man sent off we should keep it down to about 2. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve just had three consecutive games against bottom six opponents, and we won the lot, extending our unbeaten run to six games in the process. A fourth win in a row would likely propel us into the top six and put us just four points behind the visitors. Of course we will probably lose, but you never know. We are certainly in better form now than we were going into the league cup fixture last year, which was the only game Rangers lost to a Scottish opponent last season. It’s no coincidence that we have named the same starting 11 for those three wins and I expect we will be unchanged again. Both Erhahon and Tanser went off at the weekend, but hopefully both should be fit enough to start here. Just as well, the two of them seem to be involved in most of our goals. Tanser assisted one and scored one on Saturday. Erhahon assisted the other, scored the winner at Livi the week before and set up another in the win against Aberdeen. Absolute madness that some fans want him dropped, but here we are. Thankfully Jim won’t be listening to that nonsense. Quite a big game for Rangers this. Hearts are at home to Dundee, so if they fail to get the three points they would likely drop to second. They need the win and they’ll probably just get it. 0-1 Randomgit will be raging at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 We were excellent in the first half on Sat vs Hearts and 3-0 at HT would have been fair. Abject in the second but still could have won but for the combined efforts of Gordon and Morelos to keep the ball out of the net. It's impossible to predict how we'll play but I'll be disappointed with anything other than a win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I think a point is a realistic aim for this one. Playing at home, unbeaten in 6 or 7, consistent starting 11 for the last month or so and 3 wins on the spin. Anything would be a bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I see Rangers have requested a smaller red zone be instated for the game - not legally required to have one but are if a club requests it. Fearing the raucous main stand IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cheek considering it took a complainant to the SPFL for them to allow the bare minimum away fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I know there isn't much pressure on us, if any, in these games but 99% of the time its not an enjoyable experience unless we pull off an almighty shock. Giving up 50% of the stadium and hearing the bile isn't fun. Even worse when they are winning. Rangers fans were on form from the first whistle in Perth. As for the game I'd like to think we will put up a fight but it all depends on Rangers. If they play well they should win, if we play to our best and they only play in 3rd gear they should still win. McGrath and Ronan could cause a bit of trouble in between the gaps of their defence and midfield, Brophy is on form just now and loves a shot from anywhere. We have a threat but our defending hasn't been great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a threat but our defending hasn't been great. We need to find some way to stop Rangers getting in loads of crosses, and we need to defend them better when they do. I feel thats been the big weakness at the back for us this season. Hopefully Jim has something up his sleeve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that you have about four Irish players, and Rangers fans have recently been found guilty of racially abusing Irish people, then it would make sense for St Mirren fans to show their support for the Irish contingent & manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves plenty of room down the flanks for teams to get in behind. In the County game Millar and Tanser were basically playing as wingers and County exploited it second half in particular.We’ll need the two of them to focus much more on the defensive side tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wonder if one of Ronan or McGrath might drop to the bench for this one to give us more of a 5-4-1, like the 3-2 game last season. Someone like Tait could come in at RB and Miller could maybe push up to do the Connelly role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're actually showing up then I'll usually stick with them. I had turned off the Parkhead game before Power was even off the park... Honestly hate this attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real irony here is a former RBS Director slating another company for financial mis-management. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
