    Get a lot of ball players, I'd drop Brown, Rogic in.

    Same defence as today, Mo for Taylor.

    I’d be seriously tempted to start Bayo.

    Horrible park, horrible team to play against and set pieces will more than likely decide the outcome.

    Makes total sense.

    They will press our backline in possession and mark out the midfield which will in turn see us go long on more than a few occasions. Bayo is easily the best we have in the air up top.

    We looked far more dangerous in the 2-0 defeat earlier in the season, when we subbed Forrest off for Bayo.

    Whip balls in and let him attack them, Griff and Rogic ready to pounce on any rebounds or 2nd balls.

    Too big a game.

    Don’t think Lennon will be taking any risks with Bayo, especially with him not seeing much game time in the lead up to this.

    Forster
    Bitton Jullien Ajer
    Frimpong Brown McGregor Hayes
    Christie
    Edouard Griffiths​

    Forgot about Elhamed.

    Not sure we’ll have him make his comeback on the plastic though having just been out with long term injury.

    Brilliant to have him back for the run in though.

    I was the same regarding the pitch but want him to get minutes under his belt as for me he has to start at Ibrox

    You're probably right..

    He may just be asking for one more big push..

    Then can rest the big hitters for a week (with St Mirren at home being our next game)..

    Too big a game not to make any changes, we’re struggling to score there and we have to try and combat that be it by using different personnel or altering tactics or formation.

    I'd definitely change it. No sure he will though..

    The only thing I'll say is we haven't played the 3-5-2 against them yet though so we could get joy out of that even with the same player's..

    If he doesn't change it....then he needs to rest quite a few next Saturday..

    We have made changes to the formation mate.

    Last two games up there we didn’t have 2 up.

    Aye, St Mirren at home is perfect for the like of Elhamed to get minutes in preparation for Ibrox and possibly one of Bayo/Klimala to get a run out and rest Edouard.

    2 up top won’t cut it if the 2 aren’t at their best getting on the end of long balls!

    Just seems ideal to me to rest Eddy and play the best set piece taker and best header of a ball.

    Just canny see it given Bayo has played about 30 minutes of fitba since we came back from the break.

    Lennon would get slaughtered if we rest Edouard in a difficult away game and end up dropping points.

    Aye there's no way Elhamed can make his comeback midweek on that pitch..

    He should be getting another hour for the reserves whoever we play midweek and a good hour on Saturday..

    Definitely can make a host of changes for St Mirren..
