topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 It is a truth universally acknowledged that at any point in the Scottish season one or other of the old firm is “in crisis”. Right now it’s our hosts turn having dropped 5 points from the last 21. More excitable hearts supporters will have convinced themselves that they smell blood and that Rangers are there for the taking and we’re definitely looking stronger than we did when we collapsed against them at Tynecastle but this is still a big ask. Hope springs eternal though and if we can frustrate them long enough to turn the Ibrox atmosphere toxic against them then you never know. and if Rangers take 3 points we can just blame it on the anti-Celtic conspiracy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) I see Rangers had 20 corners on Sunday. St Johnstone have a central defence, so can deal with that. If Rangers get five corners against us, they'll score twice. We cannot defend cross balls at the moment. Motherwell had chances from them on Sunday, even at 11 v 11, and we've been a horror show defending from them for months now. Ross County and RFS both especially hair-raising in that regard recently. Rangers by at least three, for me. Livi is the big one this week. Edited November 7, 2022 by VincentGuerin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Robbie Mourinho will have Hearts at their cynical best and I can see the fans getting on the teams back if things aren't going well. Like our last few games, our defence is there for the taking and we'll concede a few. Rangers 2 . Hearts 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) A few double bluffers on here. Posters saying on here how their team is going to get a pasting, but really thinking they are going to win.

10menwent2mow Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I've had a fiver on Hearts at 12/1. First half an hour will be key, if rangers miss a heap of chances the fans will start getting twitchy and hearts could grow into the game. If Rangers score early they should win comfortably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Rangers got a big shock at McDairmed. Do not expect the same this time round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leewood Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 As Hearts never bother to try against Rangers, i can only see an easy home win! At least 3-0 **** 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Rangers have absolutely bossed us under Van Bronckhorst, and it'll probably be the same again here. Our best bet is just going for it, cause we can't defend and Rangers look awful at the back as well. 7-5 Rangers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiSkacel51 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Not confident (Hearts fan) we don't usually do much at Ibrox in general tbh, although you never know, if Rowles and Halkett are back in from the start and we can keep it tight fisrst half then its possible to frustrate rangers and take something from the game, if we were to get a point I would take it and run tbh, our record there really is atrocious, although not as bad as at Celtic Park mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be keeping Halkett away from this one. We've got a big run coming up after the break, and I see the reward/risk for playing him tomorrow as not worth it. Rowles seems to be available, and with the kind of injury he had, it should be fine from an injury point of view to play him. Question is whether he's sharp enough for Rangers away at this point. If possible, I'd play him though. As I said above, we're going to have huge problems with Rangers from cross balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Agree on Halkett. I was really hoping to see him back by now, but we only have 2 games before the break and then he can get another decent bit rest followed by a mini pre season when we go to Spain. Absolutely no point involving him now unless all concerns are completely gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
