    Midfield battle is key. They play a 3 with Arfield on the right tucking in. Essentially a midfield 4. I'd like to see us do the same. Match them up so we're not outnumbered and don't let them get the majority of second balls like they did in the last two at Ibrox.

    Jack, Davis, Arribo & Arfield vs Brown, Ntcham, McGregor & Christie will be a good midfield battle. Brown brings experience and aggression and can sit in front of the defence. Ntcham and McGregor are brilliant in tight spaces and playing the ball quickly. Christie gives us loads of energy to press them and offers a goal threat.

    Their midfield is decent and has quite a nice balance, but I fancy that midfield four of ours against any four of theirs. Winning the midfield battle means we can use our quality in their to get control of the game - something we never really had in either of the games at Ibrox last season.
