Big game this one and the huns are far from convincing at the moment (even excusing the Hibs loss). Nothing to fear, especially since we’re at home.

wouldnt look to change too much at the moment, confidence is building and I think if we can strike first, we’ve every chance to get the 3 points. Their confidence will be dodgy as fuck and Barry the crab will get the fear as much as wee durranty does around Simmie. 

I’ve just seen the officials for this one, you couldn’t make it up. The SPFL don’t want us to win this at all 😂

Referee Steven McLean and VAR Andrew Dallas.

Out - shite day and kick off time now daylight savings has kicked in.

Whatever else you want to say about der hun at the moment they really struggle to keep a clean sheet.  Last time was 10 games ago on the second of feb at home to county.  Clean sheets have not exactly been our forte this season either 2bf though we defo look a bit more solid since the January window.  All in, I'm feeling pretty good about this one. I think if we get ahead first and early  on we could do to them what we should have done to them last time we played them at home.   I want hun tears this time.......  though I would accept Barron leaving the ground in an ambulance as compensation if it doesn't happen.

I would maybe drop Gueye for Dabbagh for this one and probably wouldn't be too surprised to see Okkels in on the left to track Taverniers forward runs.  That would likely move Keskinen to the right as he seems to be undroppable despite the fact he's not exactly hit the heights we have hoped he would have so far other than brief glimpses.  Other than that I wouldn't change much.  Mitov is the only obvious choice but unless he is fully fit and not likely to aggravate an injury I would stick with Doohan who has done just fine IMO.  The only curveball I can see Thelin throwing would be to bring Devlin back in at RB but I can't see him dropping Jensen so that would mean either LB (and I wouldn't be taking Shinnie out of the team, especially against them) or moving him to midfield.  If that were to happen I suspect it would be Clarkson to make way purely so we don't have two guys under 6ft in the centre.

Blue bigots having a game in Europe on Thursday on top of their up and down domestic form should give us confidence going into this one but these fuckers always raise their game when it’s us. Agree with tlg that I would drop Gueye for this and don’t think Morris is strong enough defensively. I would probably go with Sokler for Gueye and maybe play Devlin at right back and move Jensen to wide right. 
 

Kick off time is shite. First train from South does not arrive until 13 minutes before kick off and to get a bus that arrive more than 20 minutes before kick off have to leave the capital at half 7. So it’s either very early start, overnight stay or watch on tv. Atmosphere is never as good with these kick off times either. 
 

Not sure

Bus or flat

Y or couch

Train back to capital or couch

2-2 Nisbet and Keskinen

Still no Mitov or Tobers. Think we can add Nilsen to the long term injuries.

Don't think Rangers will make too many changes, if Barry Ferguson wants the job full-time then losing to Aberdeen then Bilbao isn't going to improve his chances.

Can't see many changes from us either. Likely between Gueye, Dabbagh and Sokler for a spot next to Nisbet.

Confirmed, then, that we just need to beat the Huns for them to officially lose the league tomorrow. That'd be nice. Obviously it would be hilarious if we also injured Barron. Forever. 

The only rational response after today’s events. I like it and concur.

Surprised we are starting Gueye as been poor since coming back from injury. 

Aye, he has. Hopefully Gueye is further forward with Nisbet in behind, as that is far more effective and better in defence.

Edit to add: Sunday public transport and early kick offs are fucking shite. A bad time to have a broken car and bike.

Oot 

Might be the type of game that suits Gueye,if he decides he's up for it.Otherwise hook him early if he reverts to recent type and let Dabbagh run at them.Lot of folks seem to be confident about this one,I rarely am in this fixture but Ill fake optimism and say...

2 - 1 Dons Nisbet,Morris

Assuming everyone is too busy laughing at Sevco to post. 

Red card, disallowed goal, only need a 93rd minute penalty awarded to Aberdeen to confirm I have slipped into a parallel universe where everything is in reverse.

Two very good goals but they still look dangerous on the counter. We’re a little overly aggressive in attack at times and leave holes. A little fortunate on the rangers goal too. Hard to highlight anyone in particular, all players are up for it. Gueye still not quick enough moving the ball but the goal has to help his confidence. Shady proving people like me that he can start.

third is a must and we could go on to hammer them. 2-1 it gets nervy.
