    I'd play:

    Barkas
    Urhoghide - Murray - Starfelt - Scales
    Soro - McCarthy - Shaw
    Moffat - Paterson - Montgomery

    And if I knew for sure there was another CB registered I'd play them instead of Starfelt.

    Bain

    Juranovic
    Murray
    CCV
    Scales
    .
    Soro
    Mccarthy
    Turnbull

    Abada
    Ajeti
    Monty

    I think if we were away we would field a very weak side but fans have paid so I feel they may want to put players out. Its a meaningless match for Betis too, they can't finish ahead of Bayern.

    Given the number of games we have coming up yet this month and the fact this game literally is a non factor then I would leave out as close to everyone we count on as possible.

    Bain would start in goal, Scales and Welsh at center backs with Montgomery on the left. For sure McCarthy and Biton in center mid and if fit Ewan Henderson could play in the middle as well Abada and Johnston on the wings and Ajeti up front. The only issue would be at right back given Ralston is injured.

    I doubt Welsh will have recovered from his injury by Thursday.

    Hopefully he is but if not Biton can go back in there and Soro could play in the middle of the park in that case.

    Oh my *! We're supposed to play our squad, not turn out a team to play a non-league team in some junior tournament. That team against a good Primera Liga team might actually ship a Guinness World Record scoreline...

    Play proper players, but only give it 90%... Who knows, maybe even pinch the win if Betis aren't bothered about it either. Try disrespecting them like that and they'll roast us on principal alone...

    Honestly I'd rather we got utterly pumped than lose more players to injury. Our first team needs a break. With the schedule they have had, and will continue to have until the new year, injuries are mounting and it's left us pretty threadbare already. There is absolutely zero point risking them in a totally meaningless game. Plus it gives fringe players a taste of first team football, which can only be good for their development. I doubt Ange will do it, but I think he should.

    I expect to see quite a few changes for this one. Betis I assume will also be resting key men, loads of really important games coming up so I think Ange will go:

    Hart

    Juranovic
    Welsh
    Starfelt
    Scales

    McCarthy
    Bitton
    Rogic

    Abada
    Ajeti
    Johnston

    Get Juranovic, Starfelt, Johnston and Abada off after an hour. As others have said, no poing in playing Urhoghide, Shaw etc or we'll embarrass ourselves. Also, they're not going to play again, so better to give game time to squad players.

    I'm not convinced Ange will see this as a dead rubber in all honesty. We lost twice to Leverkusen and away to Betis, only beating Ferancvaros in the group. I personally think Ange will see this as a good test to see where the first team is and will play a stronger first 11 than he probably should but I agree that he should give the likes of Turnbull and Kyogo a rest

    I'd say to the players to treat this one like a pre season friendly as the result just doesn't matter. Get minutes into some players legs and avoid injuries and cards.

    Bain
    Uroghide- Murray - Scales - Taylor
    McCarthy
    Biton - Henderson
    Abada - Ajeti - Monty
    Would bring on Forest, Moffat and Soro for the last half hour

    A group stage win gets you an extra £530k, so maybe the board will be a having a wee word in his ear about not resting too many players:fear:

    But in all seriousness i think a win would be a big morale boost and the prize money + extra coefficient points mean it isn't a competent dead rubber

    Don’t think he’ll play a weakened side,it’s not in his nature to do so.He’ll be clever with his subs again.
