Is it the later kick off tonight? they just took a pumping off Porto did they not and the manager looks like he could e for the off?

Defo got a chance imo but I dont have a good record predicting Euro games if honest

yeah tonights game is the usual 8pm kick off.

porto put 5 past them and they also lost to Sporting the weekend before, up to then they had been on a good run I think though?

Good title battle now, Benfica could have been pretty comfortable at the to of their league if they won those two games.

I'm off work Friday so will have a watch and few drinks, well only if you dont go a couple up early doors, then its over to a random game

jealous, day off tomorrow would be grand...

drinking game for you....... every time you think Lundstrum commits a foul take a drink!

Not confident tonight. We’re missing what I’d say is our front four. Although not sure if Dessers would be ahead of Danilo now.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a change in formation

I'd be nuggets 15 mins in

With away goals meaning less even a 1-0 would be a good result

yeah any result like that would be good. if we go back with only a 1 goal deficit or draw I would be fairly confident in the home leg. hopefully by then we have a few faces back also.

good prep for our game in a months time

Injury situation is beyond a joke now.

I am struggling to keep up but by my reckoning we will be deffo missing;
Cortez
Cantwell
Danilo
Sima
Dowell
Matondo

Currently Unable to play 90 minutes;
Jack
Roofe
Lawrence

Doubtful;
McCausland

Plus there was some chat yesterday Scott Wright is out as well and Lovelace limped out of the B team game after 20 minutes or so.

Fookin Miracle if we can get through this tie plus as much as I love playing Hibs these days I am getting the fear about the weekend.

I’d expect us to go to 5 at the back similar to how we lined up vs Sparta.

Diomande, Lawrence and Lundstram cm with Silva and Dessers up top

Balogun aswell, well kinda injured, he can play but Clement wary of aggrivating the injury more. he has been missed, we need a physical presence in there next to Goldson IMO.

Is Balogun even in the squad?

Thought Diomande, Yilmaz and Silva were added

Id possibly prefer Lundstram at cb with Sterling in cm, than see Davies as 3rd centre back.

Or even Sterling as 3rd cb

Yep, very tough game. If we get through the tie it'll be a major bonus. We'll see how it goes.

maybe either that or if we go normal formation it will be Dessers, Silva, Sterling as our front three.

Knowing Sterling he will occupy all those positions at some point in the game !

Spawney spawney Rangers in Europe. Benfica are shelte now, their manager is going to be sacked and the players can’t play effectively together.

Bloody Masons.

"Bloody Masons." na its a german ref tonight.

What frustrates me most is that players go off with a fairly innocuous looking knock and then we dont see them for months.

Last season it was Lawrence.

This season Sima, Danilo and Cortez all had knocks which needed to be 'assessed' and before you know it they are pictured post surgery in a hospital bed.

And guys like Dowell and Matondo - does anyone even know wtf is wrong with them?

Shark throwing in Lisbon!

with dowell I believe he didnt brace for the wind changing direction and he didnt brace for it ... out for 3 seasons now. were all shocked we all said that we didnt want him due to his injury record prior to joining us, surprise surprise a player that was always injured befroe joining us is injured after joining us. awful signing regardless how good he may or may not be.

Matondo we hear very little about strangely, we were told is was a small muscle issue. that was about 3 weeks ago but not heard much about it at all.

Agree with you , it seems our players go off with what looks like knocks and and are out for months.

Rangers will be lucky to escape with anything better than a two goal defeat tonight I think. Injuries make a massive difference to them especially any hope they have of grabbing a goal to take back to ibrox.

Going to require a special performance to keep the tie alive I think.
