I don't agree it looks any more "grim" for Friday than it did.
Jamieson did fine when he came on v St Johnstone. People have been asking for one of our "slow" centre backs to be dropped, so should be happy now Gogic is in for Sarris. Temps has been little more than an impact sub until now, so not a weakness in our starting XI. MacKinnon is a big miss. But maybe his 'red mist' would have been more of a factor against these opponents. I like judgeflash's suggestion of Donati sitting in front of the back four (assuming McMann makes it), and the new improved Longridge surely has to start.
This was always going to be a tough game. But Rangers are nowhere near the standard of Celtic (who we struggle to compete with), and probably more like the standard of Aberdeen. So they may be favourites, but we have every chance of getting a result. We need a big performance, and must aim to frustrate them for the first hour or so - Gogic, Donati, Docherty, Crawford and Bingham will all be key.
Over the next month or so our squad will be thin, and we can't afford to pick up any more injuries until some of those missing are back. But I wouldn't characterise our prospects over that period as "grim" either. We're only one win away from solidifying our position mid-table.

Why would I be happy that Gogic plays instead of Sarris? Would it no make sense playing him in his natural position in place of Daz? Id personality prefer Donati, Tam and Want with Skondras anyone but imrie on the other side. Crawford needs a swift boot up the arse from canning asap as he is bringing absolutely f all to the team. Just looks a guy playing down his final months.

Love the Bingham to miss a sitter bit.
Lol.
I'll need to remember and use that sometime!

And I don't agree with the usual pish in the papers pre match from the likes of Longridge and Docherty, normally used by Canning.
Instead of publicly stating how much they fancy their chances they should be falsely praising the opposition to the hilt and then go out on to the park pschyed up to f#&k to ram it up them.Do your talking on the pitch,not a cheap tabloid.
Never Learn.
