    I have a very strong feeling he will play 4-4-2 with Skippy and JVOH up front. WGS has been very determined to get JVOH fit for this one, possibly at the expense of the League Cup game v Hearts. He was rank in that but you could see how much good it did him in the next game v Killie. He should be pretty close to match fit now and I am sure he will play. The whole team picks itself apart from Naka's replacement although that is a simple case of it either being JJ or Donati and which way the 4 midfielders will line up.

    I think he will go with the 2 upfront as having watched the away leg they are not going to dominate us a Parkhead like potentially Milan or Shaktar could.

    Hopefully we can recycle some of these bodies into players in the window.

    Hesselink and McGeady will be crucial tonight, we're not going to play them off the park so we need A1 as well as quick break aways. Those 2 will be relied on to provide McDonald the service.

    I'm getting really nervous now as always, couple pints before i get to the stadium will hopefully calm me down!

    STV is the regional ITV for west-central Scotland in the same way UTV is for Northern Ireland. Other bits of Scotland get slight variations called 'Grampian' on the north-east, 'borders' in the south etc.
