Rangers vs Hibernian is always a tough and competitive fixture. The importance of it is always high, and Boxing Day’s clash between the pair will be no different. Steven Gerrard’s men have just come off a huge win at McDiarmid Park against St Johnstone. An Alfredo Morelos brace was enough to take the spoils, but…
No argument with that team. But, given that we lack an AM, I wonder if he may be tempted to go 2 up front in a 4-4-2. Drop one of the CDMs and punt Lafferty in? Probably drop McCrorie and ask Halliday to get forward more.
Would like to see Dallas on the bench and given a runout if we get a chance
I agree with Skibadly, there are no arguments with that team. However, the manager seems to pull one or two surprises out each game, therefore I think Lafferty will play. I also have a sneaky feeling that Rossiter will start too, either to prove himself for Celtic, or to keep players fresh.
I would only make a couple of changes from the team that finished the game , McCauley back if fit but I suspect he wont be so I would play Katic and Wallace at left back . McCrorie and Jack , again if fit , if not Coulibaly . Halliday is total mince and proved it on Sunday.Middleton for Grezda who has been crap and Lafferty up front with Alfie .Hibs wont expect the change of shape to 4-4-2 .The two holders supported by the two wide men dropping back should be strong enough defensively at home to Hibs.
